    You guys are more worried about the Sox catching than the Red Sox are. Cro Man, Gio, and Bue Man might not even be here more than this coming year, and the Cro Man maybe in two. Bello is NOT being traded.
  2. Old Red
    Well said, and agree100%.
  3. Old Red
    How they handled Whit in 2021 2-3 days between appearances is well known and documented. I would say his health that year would be considered as healthy in theses days, and times.
  4. Old Red
    Yes the Red Sox have such a surplus of starting pitching.🙈🤭
  5. Old Red
    If everyone is healthy is the big question, and if Gio is healthy he’ll be in the rotation, and the Kut Man will most likely come out of the pen. Bello as I’ve heard some pondering is NOT going to the pen. As we all know there will most likely be a need for 9-10 starters, or so during the season, so the Kut Man will most likely end up back in the rotation at some point.

    Good points, but I’ve been saying since 2021 that he should have stayed in the pen, and been a late innings guy. 2021 was exclusively in the pen, and the only year he has stayed healthy coincidentally, or not.

    I guess the Dodgers just didn’t want to go 3yrs/$75M, or so with Teoscar, and he was a cheaper, shorter term solution.
  8. Old Red
    Seems like their math hasn’t worked out yet with Teoscar yet either.
  9. Old Red
    Did JH actually outbid the Dodgers for one of their own pitchers? Most likely the Red Sox were the highest bidders. Good sign, or Bad sign?
  10. Old Red
    As usual 2025 most likely will come down to how well the rotation holds up, and how well they do, which then will determine how are the BP holds up, and how well they do.

    Like how many things have gone right the past three years compared to how many things have gone wrong. Sale got out from the bad mojo, and looked what happened.
  12. Old Red
    I wasn’t for keeping Pivetta by any means, but was hoping for trading some more suspects for younger pitching like with Crochet.
  13. Old Red
    I’ve been saying for the last two offseason that the Red Sox were not going to sign any big FA pitchers to any long term contracts, and would trade some suspects instead for pitching. So far that is how it worked out. Now we’ll see how Crochet works out, and how many years he stays with the Red Sox from 1.5 yrs to whatever extension they can work out with him. The way the Red Sox mojo has gone the past few years injuries wise that will have to change for the Red Sox to improve to the point of being like the 2021 team.
  14. Old Red
    I fully aware of his TJ history. All I’m saying is this guy might not be any better than what Pivetta would give you, and I’m not all gung-ho as many are on here. Nothing more, or nothing less than that.
  15. Old Red
    I’m not saying Pivetta has been very good, but Buehler hasn’t been any good since 2021, and of course Buehler hasn’t been a picture, or pitcher of health either. Buehler career was 2021, and before.
  16. Old Red
    Still getting duped, and buying that old rotten cheese that JH keeps offering. If it makes you feel better that JH puts in offers that will never happen on the likes of the Yam Man, and Soto good for you.
  17. Old Red
    Like I said 2021 was a long time ago, and a lot has happened since then. Pivetta was a better pitcher for what it was in 2024. It will be 2025 now, so 2021 doesn’t mean a rats a**. Like I said MEH on the now $20M man.
  18. Old Red
    Which is most likely not the 2021, and before one, and all for the low, low price of $20M+. Which stats from last year has gotten you all excited that this guy will even be better than Pivetta? 2021 was a long time ago when this guy was good, and even the Red Sox were a postseason team them. Now both are MEH.
  19. Old Red
    Ah still buying the illusion on Soto?🤭
  20. Old Red
    JH, and Sam are the coal. The gift that keeps on giving All year long.
  21. Old Red
    With the 12th pick in the 2024 HOBO draft the Red Sox selected Brez for Prez.
  22. Old Red
    The illusion of being in contention just like on Soto. It works on some.🤫
  23. Old Red
    I think both things could be right in this situation. Being cheap, and getting a young pitcher with a high ceiling.
  24. Old Red
    Like I’ve said many times all of the Minor League players are nothing but Suspects till they come up, and produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. Reality doesn’t always live up to hype, and the Red Sox certainly play up the hype.
  25. Old Red
    That’s why I was thinking more along the line of the Bogey extension, which was 6 years, and I believe an opt out after three. I don’t believe the Red Sox would make it worth his while to not have an opt out.
