    Craig Breslow: Red Sox CBO

    Mondesi is a FA. Can't imagine he gets more than a minor league deal from anyone.

    2023 MLB Draft

    The Nats have taken 4 college seniors already - are Morales and Sykora going to eat up all that savings, or will they have room to go over on a kid who slipped to the 9th or 10th round?

    30 for 30

    Yeah, I'm half way through the Walton 30/30 and it's terrific so far.

    Kevin Youkilis to be NESN's primary color analyst on Red Sox broadcasts in 2023

    Mazz had me clicking on the opponent's feed on MLBTV pretty regularly last season, glad that hassle has been taken care of.

    RIP Rocco

    Wow...pretty sure Rocco predates SoSH - one of the originals that Lanternjaw rounded up when Fastball/DTFC were crumbling. This place most certainly is not what it is without his early contributions...very sad news.

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    Well he got DFA'd at least in part because CLE didn't want to pay the arb award, so he'll get less than that if he's a FA now.

    Trade Deadline Gamethread 2022

    Marsh hasn't hit much, but he's a massive upgrade defensively compared to the parade of DH's the Phillies currently play in the OF. Good get for them.

    First time baseball coach

    My kid uses the Easton wheel bag for his catcher's gear. 4 seasons in, it smells terrible but has otherwise held up well, will likely need to be replaced next summer but I am hoping it can survive one more year. Agree on the insanity of gear prices...I have probably spent two semesters...

    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    I switched to Nord VPN and it works now. I was using Unlimited VPN, so if you're vpn shopping, don't get that.

    Let's Talk About MLBTV

    I have not been able to get the vpn angle to work today...when I have a vpn on, it says my login info is invalid. If they've figured a way to stop the vpn workaround I'll need to come up with something else...I watch enough other games that it's still worth having the package - but not being...

    MLB and MLBPA have a deal

    I'm curious about how the pre-arb bonus pool counts toward the tax threshold. If a team is bumping up against the tax, can they get pushed over by a few young guys having big years?

    MLB and MLBPA have a deal

    This is stupid.

    MLB and MLBPA have a deal

    I would've liked to see the players get more too - but more than half of the players last year had < 3years service time. Those guys are getting a nice raise with higher minimums and the bonus pool for top performers. The Phillips Valdezes of the world are voting for this deal every day of the...

    Mr Projo Risin' and the Mayor of Ft Myers both gone...what a horrible day.

    RIP MikeF

    Before SoSH...before the DTFC…there was this hodgepodge of online baseball forums called Fastball that I’m sure some of you remember. Anyway – at one point on there around 1997 or so, Mike & I figured out we both lived in Burlington and decided to meet for a pint at the VT Pub & Brewery. We...

    Unusual plays, Calls or Rulings

    Yeah...it happened at least twice this past season - and probably should've happened more - I have no idea why it's a thing with this kid. He is otherwise a pretty smart player. I know the coach has talked with him about it and told him not to do that.
