  1. not if they never make it to the MLB level.
  2. i've never seen Arias play, so i have no opinion on that. and, frankly, Arias has nothing to do with Arroyo.
  3. they have their opinions and i have mine. and, again, i just think it's nuckin futz that they value those three the same.
  4. i have nothing against him, i just don't think he has MLB talent. and no way he should be valued the same as Mize and Hoerner.
  5. i was wondering what it would take to get Hoerner, so i decided to look at some of the trades proposed on BTV. there are several mock trades with the Red Sox and i'd be fine with most all of them. what caught my eye, though, was a proposed 3-team trade between the TIgers, Mariners and Cubs, involving Nico, Casey Mize and Seattle AA second baseman, Michael Arroyo. i'm sorry, but there is no world where Arroyo is worth either of these guys, yet BTV values them all the same. i know they have their methods for calculating value but, IMHO, they SERIOUSLY overvalue minor league players. i've seen Arroyo play and he may be the Mariner's 5th best suspect, but he'll never make it.
  6. i think Breslow was inflexible, ergo, stiff. it wouldn't be that big a deal to me, but not signing him after losing Raffy for signing him in the first place is what sucks. and that wouldn't be so bad if they signed someone to replace him/Devers. so now, besides a black hole at second, we also have one at third. i wish they still had the both of them, but hey...what a shitshow.
  7. i think Bregman really wanted to stay. i think Cora really wanted him to stay. and i think Breslow f***ed it up.
  8. i think they're a bit high on Donovan and a bit light on Casas and Harrison. i'd do that deal, obviously.
  9. something is gonna hafta give or they'll keep buying World Series championships for here on.
  10. if Sandoval is so damn good....trade that SOB to the Astros for IP. or the Twins for Keaschall. or the Mets for Batty.
  11. i know i did. i wanted more pitching. the sad part is their scouting/ analytics sucked ass. getting 1 out of 400 is pretty bad.
  12. i find it ironic that we have a severe shortage of quality and depth at the middle infield when Bloom drafted like 400 shortstops during his time in Boston.
  13. another idiotic contract that should never have happened. why sign a guy to rehab for years, when you can get a player that can oh, i dunno, ACTUALLY PLAY A f***ING GAME!?! it's f***ing insane. i wonder who we could have signed for the millions pissed away on Sandoval and Hendricks.
  14. you forgot to mention that he traded Sale and Devers for a bag of peanuts. horrible trades.
  15. i've seen Keaschall play many times. he's the real deal. i'd love to see him in a Sox uni.
  16. without adding a "big bat", i'm afraid that our anemic offense will be exposed.for what it is. and for this, i would say Brez's offseason was/is a failure. Brez knew we needed some power going into the offseason. he could have signed Alonso, but he didn't. he could have signed Bregman, but he didn't. he could have signed Schwarber, but he didn't. he did a nice job of upgrading the pitching staff, but what good is it without some offensive production?
  17. i always got the idea that Bregman really wanted to stay with the Sox, but the f***ing stiff just couldn't get the deal done—because, well... he's a f***ing stiff.
  18. yeah, i wanted to find Ryan punching Ventura or Varitek and Arod but couldn't find a giph of either.
  19. the Dodgers payroll and tax for 2026 is $572M. that's $50M more than the Red Sox and Padres combined. their 2026 tax bill is more than the entire payroll of 12 teams.
  20. yeah, i know that. i'm thinking they may change, as Moon suggests, how it is calculated.
