One of the writers was speculating that the budget was reduced from 225 million to 200 million for 2024!
-
Cora said nice things about slaten today. With an underlying theme that he has major control issues
-
I saw him at Virginia and his throws to second were super impressive! I seem to remember closer to 3/4 than side arm
-
I hope Martin stays. I liked his stuff last year. I do not know how he was successful, but he was.
-
With sale and Paxton gone, what are the trainers going to be doing this spring? Catching up on sleep?
-
Ball???
-
Maybe Peaz takes a leap this year, but his ceiling is bullpen arm to me.
-
I have been lucky enough to see A Castro and Brannon live. I like both as hitters and think they have above bat to ball skills. (Keep in mind, small sample size) I did not see anything that makes me think they are above average defensively (again small sample size) A Castro is more of a line drive hitter. Brannon has some power, but is injured more than Chris sale.
-
If the budget is indeed 200 million, then we have a little tiny bit more to cut. This means trades are needed. Is bres-slow waiting for spring training injuries on other teams to unclog our outfield and find a starter or two?
-
Cora’s final season!!!
-
By July, we could be 20 games out of playoff contention. What assets do we have that we could get some value on the trade market? Jansen? Martin? O’Neil? Pivetta? Gioletta? Brez-slow could have a long year ahead of him!

Story’s 2023 defense was better then average????
-
Defensively: Catcher - Wong and McGuire - maybe just below average to average at best! 1st base - cassas - at best dumpster fire. 2nd base - Grissom - impossible to know. But best case could be average SS - story - maybe average to a little better than average. 3rd base - devers - dumpster fire LF - Duran - dumpster fire bring marshmallows. CF - rafeala - best guess is average to above average RF - abreau - best guess is average. Our starting pitching is a massive dumpster fire, if our defense gives teams extra outs, we are battling for the first pick in the draft!!!!!!!!
-
So the payroll sits at about 201 million right now. Some people think the max budget is 200 million. Is they are correct, then this is our team for 2024!
-
Bres-slow will look like a genius if he lasts to the end of his current contract!!!!!
-
Current Red Sox roster = 4 out of 5 on the dumpster fire scale!
-
Current Red Sox roster = 70 wins
-
I hope we get clevinger! But I also want ryu, if his meficals check out. I think he is primed for a bounce back year
-
Our 24 team would be decent if we had solid #1 and #2 starters.
-
It was reported bres-slow was shopping for starting pitching at wal-mart this weekend.
-
Gonzalez on the mound on Portland should be exciting
-
Looking at the projected roster for Portland and it looks like a very exciting hitting lineup!!! Plus a little intriguing pitching
-
Can you really “press” a lever??? Is that possible??
-
We have a surplus of DH/poor defensive players. Might as well move one or two for pitchers.
-
I would take this deal all day and I would even throw in 10 million of Jansen.
