    you are way over-valuing Abreu. IMO. He is a nice platoon player but likely wouldn't return anything more than a decent reliever or back of the rotation SP of which we have several already. I don't care how much we apparently offered Soto but most reports say we were not close to getting him. Likely our offer was simply to drive up the cost for the 2 NY teams. To date this offseason the Sox have done nothing to convince me that Henry's goal of keeping the payroll down has changed at all. Only a Burnes signing could change my view. Not advocating for that -just using it as an example. Crochet was a great add {at a significant cost} but he is only at 3 million in 2025 and still arbitration eligible for 1 yr after that.
  2. Randy Red Sox
    the only trade the Sox will be making will either be one where we are shedding salary or two where we will NOT be adding significant salary.
  3. Randy Red Sox
    we got our backup C from the NYY trade
  4. Randy Red Sox
    and we will probably stay fairly close to that
  5. Randy Red Sox
    You have no need to worry. Henry won't approve a long term deal.
  6. Randy Red Sox
    people on this board were asking for Carson Kelly -well he got 11.5 million for 2 years--FAR TOO RICH FOR JOHN HENRY.. The ONLY reason we got Crochet was the 3 million he'll get this year and probably not a huge bump in arbitration [around 6 million?} for 2026. Then he will leave as a FA.
  7. Randy Red Sox
    That is my point too Moon
  8. Randy Red Sox
    i like that we got Crochet who is only 25 and fits in our window but I think we FAR overpaid. Hopefully we can extend him because if he turns out to be a 2 year rental it will cost Bres-slow his job
  9. Randy Red Sox
    the guy won't be able to pitch next year. Haven't we done this enough times already ???????????
  10. Randy Red Sox
    We better not trade Casas for Castillo
  11. Randy Red Sox
    why don't the Sox simply sign Sasaki?
  12. Randy Red Sox
    the Sox are very likely done now with the rotation and the CHEAP S...O..B OWNER SHOULD BE happy since Crochet will cost only 3 million next year and after 2 years he will be gone.
  13. Randy Red Sox
    no they won't. he will sign elsewhere
  14. Randy Red Sox
    i say the latter
  15. Randy Red Sox
    they ARE saying that--just not publicly
  16. Randy Red Sox
    it will be the same excuse for Burnes now too.
  17. Randy Red Sox
    we already have several middle relievers
  18. Randy Red Sox
    you made your point Splinter--7 times
  19. Randy Red Sox
    that is not going to happen. Casas is under control for 4 more seasons and Devers will whne if he is bumped off 3B. I don't trade any of our top 4 prospects for Crochet either. Sign Burnes as he is the only good SP left on the FA market.
  20. Randy Red Sox
    very little consolation and we also fell a few spots in the draft lottery today I believe
  21. Randy Red Sox
    sox will be lucky to bring back Pivetta
  22. Randy Red Sox
    i'd sign Burnes but not Bergman. we already have a 1B and 3B
  23. Randy Red Sox
    just when do we start the winning?
  24. Randy Red Sox
    no thanks. keep the top 5 prospects. The plan has ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS been to build from the farm and keep the payroll DOWN. Have we not figured this out YET???
  25. Randy Red Sox
    Yankees just signed Fried
