We ended the year second in blown saves in 2024! There are a couple of free agents that can help us because relying on Hendricks is very scary now
-
Yoshida’s shoulder surgery makes trading him a lot more difficult for bres-slow. maybe he can spend most of 2025 on the 60 day DL.
-
Chance for someone to fall to us
-
Yoshida would look excellent in a west coast team uniform next year! Bres-slow will make it happen
-
Meidroth is an on base machine and table setter. The ideal number 2 hitter behind Duran. defensively, he is an improvement over devers at 3B. I am not saying he is a panacea to our hitting lineup, I am saying he improves our team in 2025 by less errors in the field. Less strikeouts and higher on base percentage. And I think he chips in 15 stolen bases a year.
-
Are you saying a farm system that is very heavily left handed hitting and utterly bereft of any pitching is a good thing???
-
it would be huge if Bailey can help Guerrero find the strike zone. Kids stuff is above average for sure

We are top 5 in 2024 in errors. Are infield leaks more than the titanic ever did we are top 5 in strikeouts. A large number of strike outs leave town with O’Neil, and a large number of strike outs are tied to youngsters seeing pitches for the first time. we struggle to hit left handed pitching top 3 deficiencies to fix among position players 1.) cut down on errors. Need new personnel on the infield for this to happen. Defensive dumpster fires across the infield. 2.) get a bit more right handed bats in the lineup, (thank you hang’em Chaim) Campbell and meidroth come to mind. These two guys also fix number 1. Move the left handed excess to other teams where it makes sense for both teams. Start with yoshida to any west coast team, 3.) cut down on strikeouts. See Meidroth.

Campbell is the right handed bat to replace big wind O’Neil!
-
How many guys on this list graduate in 2025?
-
He should be our starting 2bd baseman next year. His swing is funky but he makes it work.
-
If ownership set the 2025 budget at 195 million, we still have a decent amount of room to sign and trade for a quality starters. I know bres-slow said he planned on being aggressive this offseason, but does mean pitching??? hang’em Chaim has absolutely stocked our team with left handed hitters, hard to see bres-slow augmenting there. so that leaves pitching and right handed hitters for bres-slow to be aggressive with this offseason
-
Should the big 4 go to the Arizona fall league???
-
I like how ragan’s of the royals a lot. But would they do it???
-
Yes. I think he develops into an amazing player in two years
-
I value Anthony highly, but the only way Seattle is trading Miller and woo for Anthony is if they know both pitchers have damage to their arms.
-
I do think Soto is a fantastic talent, but signing him wrecks the goals set forth by management. I am all for trading anybody on our current roster, except devers and rafeala for pitching
-
I was thinking about for 2025!
-
I would say no to both of those.
-
Only 1 team in the playoffs this year. But I feel much better about our farm team than I did in April
-
Anthony, teel, Campbell and Montgomery would be the 4 that I do not trade under any circumstance. I think we have to be honest about how successful castillo can be pitching in Fenway
-
Anthony also stole another base. Kid is on fire
-
Roster construction is a huge consideration. I am very intrigued by what bres-slow does with a large group of redundant position places to help us fill huge holes in the rotation and bullpen!! I see second base as a battle between Campbell and Grissom. Personally , I think Campbell is better defensively. I guess I am higher on Meidroth than most others. I think he is best at third base.
-
Two things: 1.) first, I think only miller profiles as successful in Fenway. 2.) I think bres-slow values years of control
-
The fat lady may be warming up to sing, but I feel better about the Red Sox future today than I did this time last year we are literally two starting pitchers and two relievers away from the playoffs
