At least in a semi-rebuild, the Sox will win as many WS titles in the next 3 years as the Skankees: 0
-
I would like all but JDM trade. The Sox need his bat and attitude.
-
They don't have to win the AL East in order to be a contender and/or World Series winner. Seems to me that the Skankees won the division in 2004. I don't see a world series ring on their fingers from that year.
-
Look in the mirror pal.
-
Tanaka: done, Paxton: Sucks, Severino: hurt, German: hurt, Clemens: retired,
-
You're joking, right? What other good starter do they have? Plus, who knows if Cole can pitch in NY? In addition, they don't have him yet. Boras may just be using them to get a bigger contract from a team he really wants to go to.
-
If he can trade Price and not eat too much money, great. Trading J.D.M. would be stupid. The Sox have to have his bat in the middle of the order or they are going nowhere.
-
Lots of All-Stars in that list plus many other good players. Rule 5 draft is nothing to sneeze at.
-
Jose Bautista, Bobby Bonilla, Paul Blair, Jody Davis, Darrell Evans, Willie Henandez, Dave Hollins, Mike Morgan, Ryan Pressly, Bip Roberts, Fernado Vina, Cecil Cooper, Scott Posednik, Jay Gibbons, Elrod Hendricks, Bobby Knoop, Shane Mack, John Wetteland, R.A. Dickey, Mitch Williams, Jeff Nelson, Manny Trillo.

Josh Fields had some success after Houston took him from the Sox in 2012 Rule 5 draft. 6 pretty good seasons as hard throwing reliever. Better than a lot of guys the Sox had in their pen over that time.
-
He had 6 seasons with an E.R.A. below 3 and he saved 32 games one season, 29 another and 22 another. Not too bad for a Rule 5 guy. Most teams would want a guy like that. He threw hard in his prime.
-
Former Rule 5 players: Johan Santana, Josh Hamilton, Shane Victorino, Dan Uggla, Darwin Gonzalez, Joakim Soria, George Bell, Odubel Herrera, Hector Rondon, Matt Mantei, Darren O'Day.

I know they won't do it because of his past, but the guy out there with the most talent who can play 2B, SS and 3B is Addison Russell. He is only 25 and can be an all star. Someone is going to give him a chance. They should also pursue Blake Treinen and see if they can get him right.
-
Hate to see the Red Sox lose all that offense. Its hard to find good hitting catchers like Sandy.
-
Nope.
-
Sox aren't getting a SP in free agency unless he is is cheap. If they wanted someone for 10 million a year they could bring back Porcello.
-
He can pitch batting practice for some other team.
-
We finally get to see a picture of you Jax. Nice hair.
-
Yankees will pay. They didn't want him the last two years. They would not have played him even if he was healthy. They didn't care where he rehabbed. What a bunch of liars.
-
Exactly what you are.
-
Do the Yankees think Scott Boras is going to stand for this? Or do they think he will steer future players to them if they pull this crap? They are just trying to cheap out because Ellsbury was a Fosbury Flop and they have egg on their face. Cheapskates. They can always raise ticket prices to pay for it.
-
Yankees being cheap. Pathetic. This won't make them popular with other players. No class. Pay the man!
-
Cheapskates!!!!!
-
The whole point of this thread is that the Sox were right for letting Ellsbury go and the Yankees were wrong for signing him him. That is all. Talking about other moves made after that by either team is irrelevant to the fact that sometimes teams have to let guys go and not over pay them based on what they have done in the past. The BB method.
-
Sox got Michael Kopech with draft pick compensation for Ellsbury. That worked out.
