if anyone reads this whole post please let me know
-
i forgot about the draft pick factor. Do all 3 of Montgomery, Snell, and Gray cost a draft pick?
-
could not agree more although I would like to add a decent everyday 2B
-
First off there is no excuse for the Sox being out-bid on ANY pitching after slashing the payroll for a few years now. Having said that I would stay away from Montgomery and focus on Snell. I like Gray but he is 34 now and he had a tough time in nY and not sure if he could handle Boston or not either. This would be in addition to being ALL IN on Yamamoto. If we get 2 SP at the top of the rotation our BP will be just fine given that Whitlock and either Pivetta or Houck will slide into the pen as well.
-
can someone please explain the exact procedure on posting for Yamamoto. It is my understanding that the post bids are secret and that only the HIGHEST bidder in the posting gets to negotiate a contract with him? Also the posting fee does NOT count against your payroll.
-
can not disagree
-
who said anything about having to make the HOF?
-
count me as one of those
-
neither McGuire or Wong are G00D enough as starters f the Sx want t0 contend

Lord knows we have tried to win on the chap the past 4 years. How has that worked out? -
which probably prices us out on him
-
you mean like 3 last place finishes in 4 years?
-
i have a big pass on Montgomery given what he will get
-
then we likely will be looking at another last place finish in 2024
-
i almost guarantee if someone signs him it will be a 1 yr deal
-
i think the Sox will be lucky to get Montgomery which won't thrill me that much
-
I do not see Bauer being signed. Even outside of his "legal" issues the guy is a jerk and a bad team-mate
-
They better not be considering bringing ERod back !!!
-
Breslow won't whiff on SP but the question is will he get the right SP[s}?? If he doesn't you can probably chalk up another last place finish in 2024. I hardly check in these days because it always takes FOREVER before FA signings get going. I fear the REAL pitching market doesn't begin until Yamamoto is signed and given he is not even being posted till I believe Nov 20th that will take us till at least the end on Nov-mid Dec before anything really happens. The whole MLB FA process is a joke.

that is true given that he regularly threw over 130 pitches/game in Japan. -

If Bloom were still in charge you know he'd be shopping in the "shot in the dark" category. -

I agree that Montgomery is overrated and not worth what he will likely get. I prefer Snell but would even have reservations on him at the cost. I would go ALL IN on Yamamoto and trade for a young cost controllable starter. My fear is though after Breslow STOLE the reliever from Seattle that either Houk {more likely} or Whitlock {less likely} will stay in the rotation along with Pivetta, Sale, Bello, and ONE SP from either FA or trade. -
