  1. the first season i remember watching and why i became a Red Sox fan.
  2. yeah, i'm with you on Arenado. i think he's definitely on the downhill side of his career. i'd be ok with swapping him for Yoshida, maybe, but not giving up anything to do so. i don't get this about Cora -his apparent unwillingness to shift Devers off of 3B. it's strange.
  3. it's all good. i've said several times that i wish i had your optimism. every team makes bad decisions and the Sox are no different, but probably my biggest problem with Henry is not spending money that he clearly has to spend. if they were small market and didn't have it to spend then it would be different.
  4. clearly not. like everyone else, i was happy he returned, but i'm not sure it's made any difference.
  5. well said. the decisions they make (and don't make) can be truly mind-numbing. so much for Theo bringing back some sanity to this organization.
  6. spent over $52M, but how much went off the books from last year? isn't payroll about the same or less than last year?
  7. anything else that happens will be via trade. John The Con just can't seem to let his dollars go.
  8. Papi says the Sox never even offered Soto $600M. meaning they were full of s*** about being seriously interested in signing him. f*** you John Henry, you lying POS.
  9. yeah, Gaspar is no big loss. does leave us really thin at catcher though.
  10. The Red Sox just traded Gaspar for Twins pitcher Jovani Moran who is -get this- recovering from TJS.
  11. might be, Abreu and a couple of them you mentioned not named Mayer. i don't subscribe to BTV, but i'd be curious as to how those would work there.
  12. LOLOL...and we all know that's not happening.
  13. Henry's approach is baffling. supposedly Price and Sale burned him on ever signing a long & large contract because they were both hurt all the time. so, he dumps them (and Mookie) and then proceeds to sign.... nothing but injured pitchers.
  14. Walker's negative 1.3 bWAR last year had to have impressed them. or maybe it was his injury history that sold them.
  15. yep, but they would have been "interested" for sure.
  16. he's the very definition of a window shopper.
  17. and unless the Sox do something, i'd be willing to bet that the Yankems are in the playoffs next year while the Sox are sitting at home.
  18. i don't know what it would take to get Buehler, but i would rather have spent the money on him than a rehabbing Sandoval.
  19. now you know why i said what i did. if they turned down Casas, they really are that stupid and value Castillo far more than what he's worth at the salary he's making. i thought Abreu was more than enough for him. the Sox sucked last year, mainly due to their lack of pitching and horrible defense. i think Crochet is a good start but they still have work to do. so far, the Mariners have done exactly nothing to address their piss-poor offense. they've shown "interest" in Walker, Goldschmidt and Alonso, but have little money to spend.
  20. because, IMHO, they think he's worth more than what he is. they seem like my dad....everything he has for sale is worth a mint, yet thinks anything anyone else has for sale (no matter how good) is garbage. like i said, they'd be better off trading his money for someone like Alonso.
  21. the Mariners think Castillo is on par with Pedro Martinez, Greg Maddux and Nolan Ryan so no way they'd do that deal. they need to trade him for whatever they can get, even if it is a low-level minor leaguer so they can use that money to sign Alonso. with the pitching depth they have, they can afford to part with him to upgrade at 1B.
  22. Conner is going to get tired playing every day.
  23. you got 6 years on me. way too young for Rickey. pneumonia is some bad s***.
