    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    John’s quote here got me thinking - do you want John Henry to sell the Red Sox? I could see a change in ownership going either way. Some teams have terrible owners. What say you, should John Henry sell the Red Sox?

    How Much Does Ownership’s Level of Spending Affect Your Fandom ?

    Just curious how your relationship with the Red Sox might change if they’re not going to exceed the luxury tax threshold or if they act more like a middle-market team. Personally I’ll be less much less emotionally engaged but I’ll still try and get to the ballpark a few times this year and I’ll...

    Craig Breslow: Red Sox CBO

    It’s funny how people have such different opinions of ownership. Would you prefer it if FSG sold the team? John Henry has delivered four World Series championship teams and a couple of others that came close. I grew up thinking the Red Sox would never win a World Series in a million years. And...

    Red Sox sign Masataka Yoshida

    I think the coaching staff should get credit for ensuring that Casas was given the time and support to smoothly adjust to the big leagues.

    Deadspin defectors debut

    That's funny, I really enjoy the Creaturefector posts. One of the reasons I continue pay for Defector because I end up reading things I would never encounter elsewhere. (Such as this hilarious and informative post -...

    Tanking vs. whatever it is the Sox are doing

    Or what happens if the Red Sox suffer though 60 win seasons and end up looking like Kansas City or Detroit look today. Anyone want to trade places with them?

    Looks like he had a -4 DRS in 2022. Is that solid?

    Arsenal 22-23: Time to Deliver the Goods

    I was curious too so I did some googling and discovered that "Newcastle have no club coefficient, but they do have one via their national association. This basically calculates the average success of clubs from a particular country in European competition."...

    What does 2023 look like?

    Except for 2021 when the Red Sox were two games away from playing in the World Series, of course.

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    Now I think this is an interesting idea. Not agreeing or disagreeing, but if so why do we think this ownership group has recently decided to act like a mid-market team? Plans to sell maybe?

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    Do people really think that the ownership group that has delivered four World Series championships in the last 20 years has no plan at all?

    And on this farm he had some prospects B-L-O-O-M

    I’m a little confused, you say there are no free agents you deem worthy of signing to big money contracts this off season, yet you’re concerned that the Red Sox won’t sign them? I am also curious where you’re getting the “Bloom is indecisive” bit. I did some googling but didn’t find much. Can...

    Scottish Fitba 2022-23: Ain't That Always the Way

    Outside of Celtic and Rangers, only Hearts, Hibernian, and Aberdeen averaged more than 10k fans per home game last season. Would more financial investment and more attractive football help those numbers? What is the state of the TV deal in Scotland? Is there more money/exposure to be had there...

    Red Sox sign James Paxton (old thread)

    Pham said they negotiated but Bloom wouldn’t pay Pham what he could get elsewhere. Whether you think that’s a valid reason or not, it’s why Bloom didn’t end up signing him.
