  1. I'd prefer we would trade for a first baseman. We should look at getting someone like Nathaniel Lowe from the Nationals. His career OBP is 0.355. That's what we need, someone to get on base.
  2. The automated ball strike (ABS) challenge system will be in play for about half of the games in spring. 2 challenges per team. I don't like it. What happens if an ump is consistent throughout a game with a strike zone, but maybe shifted 1/2 inch, it seems strange that a challenge late in a game could undo that. To me, the video challenge system is for tech and stat freaks, more than an improvement to the game.
  3. Can't believe he's almost 34.
  4. Devers and Bregman are very similar players on offense. Bregman is the better team player as he gets on base (and his career WAR is almost double Devers). Defensively Bregman is better than Devers as at times Devers seems to have grown roots. Bregman is by far the better defensive player. The only worse contract for a 3rd baseman is Anthony Rendon's (but the Angels only have to eat two more years in that contract, versus 8 more with Rafi's).
  5. I like Bregman. I had named him a get while most of you were twiddling your thumbs. $120 mil for 3 years, though, seems excessive when Pete Alonso, who I also liked, was inked for $54 mil over 2 years. We should have been all over that. How about an outfielder? We have Duran, maybe Abreu and who else. Rafaela can't get on base (maybe he can play short when Story gets hurt again). Yoshida has played OF 88 times in 2 years, so he's a DH.
  6. Is the guy banned from MLB facilities? If not, he should be. With the league and it's media partners relentlessly pushing gambling, you know it's going on at all levels, including ownership.
  7. We need hitters, guys that can get on base. Who do we have nobody. Who do we have? Whose jersey on offense do I want? Nobody. I'm extremely disappointed.
  8. Exactly. Dude sucked before he got hurt and somehow will now get better? Not going to happen.
  9. This is a complete waste of money. 19-45? Sorry but time to find a new GM. Breslow is completely useless.
  10. The loss of O'Neil sort of reminds me of when we didn't pursue Schwarber, dudes with home run power, under valued. We replaced him with nothing.
  11. If we are really considering paying Soto $400 to $700 million, we could get three very players that would help this team and have less risk long term.
  12. An OBP of 0.34 is rather poor for the power positions (outfield and the corners),. No real big money should be given to any offensive player if their OBP is less than ~0.350 and I would push that to 0.365.
  13. What is up with all the ads on the board. It's almost unreadable now. Anyway if we were able to sign Soto, we should look to unload Devers and Story who are just long term liabilities. We need a second baseman and pitchers. But the Dodgers and Yankees are now closing in on Soto.
  14. If Soto's age to be true (26, from the Dominican Republic), that 0.421 OBP is highly coveted. He gets on base. But he's not Shohei Ohtani (he's not going to bring in more fans). If he is a good teammate, lets go get him.
  15. There are 12 teams with worse odds than us per espn. I think that's a bit optimistic. https://www.espn.com/sports-betting/story/_/id/38801876/2025-world-series-odds-mlb-baseball
  16. There are a number of FA pitchers besides Burns. Freddy Peralta is good. Max Fried, Blake Snell, even the game 1 World Series starters Jack Flaherty and Gerrit Cole. Juan Soto is the star of the FA. Add in Bellinger, Santander, Bregman, Adames, T Hernández, Alonso... Go get someone.
  17. We might as well have been the White Sox.
  18. Does anyone really believe that this current team will improve over 81-81 next year without a number of very good additions? The team need upgrades at almost all positions.
  19. The second half of the season (since All Star break) the Red Sox are 10 games below 0.500. That falls on the Manger and GM. The were looking at the 15 games 82-96 up to the break and saw 10-5, but then went 4-8 to end the month of July. Beating up (33-14) on losing teams like the White Sox (4-3), Angels (4-2), Miami (3-0), A's (5-1), Pirates (3-0), Rangers (4-2), Blue Jays (8-5), Nats (2-1). They are over 0.500 with only 2 of the 14 teams still alive for the playoffs Phillies (2-1) and the Royals (4-2). I am surprised they are 0.500 right now with 2 to go.
  20. Everytime Cora brings on KJ to save a big game I sense imminent doom.
  21. You guys are thinking small. There is no need to trade any of our pitchers. The teams has a bunch of poor offensive players. We have no pop. We need a player who can be a run producing machine. We do not have that. Both Salmon and Alonso fit that description. In division trades aren't going to give us this either. The only other infielder that could be had is Tim Anderson and he's having an off year with the Marlins.
  22. If you were Breslow, which player(s) would you trade for this year? Mike Trout - has no trade, signed through 2030 (38) Pete Alonso - FA Alex Bregman - FA (partial no trade) Paul Goldschmidt - FA (no trade) Trout seems to be going no where with that $200 mil still owed, but he would be a get and would be perfect for Fenway (if we could unload Story as part of the deal). He hasn't been healthy for 5 years. Could a change of scenery improve that. Probably. Alonso has a perfect swing for Fenway. The Mets could unload him. Bregman has a nice career OBP. He's a solid hitter. He's 30. Similar OPS as Devers. Goldschmidt is another solid player at 36. He could play 3 more years. And while need help at 2nd and SS and OF, the team is rudderless.
  23. Let's keep winning. And yeah, Duran should have stole home in the 9th instead of dancing in front of Casas.
  24. If the Yankees add Snell, without a quality addition, the Sox will be lucky to go 72-90. The team has not been improved at all.
