    I agree 100% with all of this. I know Mayer has lost a lot of developmental time due to injuries the past few years, but he’s been one of the chosen ones since he was drafted, and if all he is going to be is a platoon player than he shouldn’t have been one of the chosen ones in the first place. I would stick him at SS full time, and move Story to 2B, and fill the other IF spots from there.

    I think you’re worrying to much about the offense. The Red Sox got to where they were last year, because of improved pitching especially in the starting rotation. That’s the area you have to keep improving, and not take any step back IMO.
  3. Old Red
    No matter who you sign, or trade for you are always praying for health. There has been a lot of bad injury Ju Ju the past few years in Boston.

    The Red Sox had a lot better chance to sign Flintstone once, and now he’d be to expensive for the Red Sox taste. If Alonso is in demand I can’t see the Red Sox outbidding anyone either. If it’s not for Bregman I just don’t see the Red Sox signing any large, and long contracts.
  5. Old Red
    The Red Sox like to window shop, but paying the price of admission that the big spenders are paying just isn’t going to happen.
  6. Old Red
    I’d be shocked if JH will either. Especially at the numbers being mentioned here, and other places.
  7. Old Red
    Agree on Bichette, but I don’t think the Red Sox want to go that long on a contract.
  8. Old Red
    I agree. The bottom feeders who won’t spend are a bigger problem to me.

    Anthony being out definitely hurt the offense.Bregman just ended up back down to where his BA should have been, and he actually finished a little higher than he had in a few years. Bregman got off to a hot start this past year, and the year before he got off to a terrible start. He’s not a 300+ hitter.

    Hopefully Skubal resigns with Detroit, which I doubt he would do without testing the FA market first. If that happens, and the Big spenders get involved the Red Sox don’t have a chance. If you want the Red Sox to do a dog, and pony show to say they tried then fine, but it would be a waste of time to both the Red. Sox, and Skubal.
  11. Old Red
    Bregman signed a more than generous contract by the Red Sox for the right amount of years IMO. Any more than a year added would not be a good idea IMO.

    I didn’t realize McMahon was under contract for 2 more years for that money.
  13. Old Red
    I get the team control, but the amount it would take to resign him would be way over what the Red Sox, or JH would want to spend.
  14. Old Red
    I don’t see Masa getting released, and he definitely is NO 1B candidate.
  15. Old Red
    Skubal is a lot more established than Crochet was. Throw in Anthony, and then get a new Red Sox owner to pay for Skubal, because JH wouldn’t even think about.
  16. Old Red
    As I’ve stated before I think the Red Sox will fill in from within as much as they can. It’s a lot cheaper too.
  17. Old Red
    Like the Yankees?🤫
  18. Old Red
    You shouted at the top of your lungs Devers Forevers 1000 times over. 🙈 I’ll take Bogey, and Raffy.
  19. Old Red
    Good point.👍
  20. Old Red
    I don’t think the Red Sox ever planned on resigning Bogey anyway, and thus the weak extension offer, and they got Story at a cheaper option anyway. If the Red Sox had acted sooner on Bogey before he opted out they might have gotten him at not much more than they signed Story for.
  21. Old Red
    Yes Great for Bogey, but what Chaim gets blamed for was just offering to tack on 1 year to the contract Bogey already had.
  22. Old Red
    After he foolishly thought he still had a shot at resigning Bogey.🙈
  23. Old Red
    The Red Sox got to worry about slaying the Yankees, or Toronto first. The Yankees will especially get better, and Cole will be back at some point.
  24. Old Red
    Agree 100%. Toronto could just of easily won too.
  25. Old Red
    JH even said goodbye to Lester out in the parking lot after he lowballed him.
