Red Sox take a flyer on Michael Fulmer. Two year minor league deal. He is out for 2024 season. Hopefully, he can contribute in 2025. Low risk move.
-
With the 2024 rotation I see many opportunities for mop up work when the Sox are getting hammered.
-
Unfortunately, it appears that the Red Sox are headed toward a year of mediocrity. Not enough starting pitching or defense to seriously contend for anything.
-
I've seen that movie

I don't think we have or had a great bullpen. Good, but not great by any stretch of the imagination. Agree that it would be nice to have some starters who can deliver quality starts 60% of the time or more.
-
There are not a lot of great starting pitchers out there. The game has become a bullpen game. Find guys that can give you 5 decent innings and build a great bullpen (easier said than done I know). Don't pay 20 million+ for mediocre starters just because they are the best of the bunch.

All of them.

Cannot trade Mayer

From a very early age I lived and died with the Red Sox. I suffered, along with all other Sox fans, through gut wrenching WS losses in 1967, 1975 and 1986, along with excruciating losses in 1978 and 2003. Those were all tempered by WS wins in 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018. From the time free agency began the Sox always brought excitement to me and Sox fans with big off season moves. The team was always interesting. Now to present day. I am not excited by the Red Sox at all. its hard to watch a whole game. The team, since 2020 has pretty much become unwatchable. The teams have been poorly constructed. Terrible defense. No pitching. It seems as if ownership is content to have a mediocre, at best, product. They are going to see a lot of empty seats next season. Sox fans aren't stupid. They can see a lack of effort by ownership in putting out a winning team while they watch the Dodgers and other teams go for each year. Its sad to see such a great franchise sink to the level of the bottom feeding teams.

So far, this has been a totally boring off season. Hope things pick up at the winter meetings.

MLB needs to do what the NBA and NFL do and have signing periods. Should be from the day after the WS until December 31st.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Tedballgame replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Phillies overpaid Nola. 7 years $172 million for a 30 year old pitcher. They will regret that contract. -
Felger and Mazz both suck. What a terrible talk show. Captain Negative and Doctor Doom. They hate Boston sports teams. Felger is a huge Milwaukee fan. Big Jim Murray is also a moron. Nothing positve comes out of their show and their opinions are garbage. They must listen to Tomase or Reimer, another couple of losers who hate Boston sports teams.

+1 100%

Some team is going to sign him. It appears he was set up. Sox need starting pitching despertately.
-
Red Sox should sign two pitchers from Japan: Yamamoto and Trevor Bauer (not proven guilty of anything and not civilly liable for anything).
-
I'd rather pay Rafaela the minimum.
-
He hit .248 with 1 homer in 202 ABs. Slugged .317.
-
Yes. He is just taking up a roster spot. Comparing him to other underachieving Sox players means nothing.
-
Signing Refsynder for 2 years was a mistake by Bloom. He is a journeyman who doesn't add much. Hits LHP ok but no power. Pretty good defender but not great. Guys like him are always around. Now he is taking up a roster spot.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

The Sox are hiring Craig Breslow as head of Baseball Operations. He's smart, knows pitching and played for the Sox. I like it. -
In my opinion, some of Bloom's biggest mistakes that led to his firing are: a. The poor return for Mookie Betts. b. Not resigning Kyle Schwarber. The dude has 52 homers this year so far. He is a good teammate, patient hitter and he would have signed for a reasonable amount. c. Not resigning Eovaldi and Wacha. d. Holding on to aging veterans at the last two trade deadlines when he could have got some decent prospects for a lot of them. e. Not adding anything at the last two trade deadlines. If you don't sell, you have to buy right? f. The last two teams have been poorly constructed. g. Signing Kluber Granted, Bloom did make some good moves during his tenure but the team just looked uninterested and undermanned the last two years. The fans aren't excited about the team. Attendance is down. Something had to change.
