    Red Sox in season discussion

    That length of deal puts him in the weird age gap to hit a second free agency, it would be nice, but I'm guessing his agent would want to hit age 35. So, covering his ages 25-35 seasons is 11 years, first year being $11M projected, second year being $18M projected, then 30M from 27-35? That...

    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    I felt like I had to be vague with this one, but I think I got the point across.

    Sox talking Mookie trade with Dodgers, Padres - News & Discussion

    It's always "going to be unlikely..." until it finally happens, I guess, but this feels real to me. I don't think it's a coincidence that this is coming out days after Kennedy said "Betts wants to focus on 2020." I honestly believe this would be happening independent of the CBT stuff. They...

    Sox talking Mookie trade with Dodgers, Padres - News & Discussion

    Nothing Earth shattering, I just heard tonight that all the stories being written about BOS-SD could be duplicated about a handful of different teams. The Sox are in real discussions with a few. Not exactly a bidding war, but they would have their pick of competing offers.

    Report: Red Sox and X close on contract extension

    I don't think anything keeps them from making a Harper-Trout hybrid offer to Betts. Keeping everyone else is doable, but would mean really trimming down on the edges of the roster until Pedroia, Price and Eovaldi are up in a few years, so I don't know how likely it is. They're going to need to...

    Start, Sit, Trade: Play Along with Dave

    Vazquez hasn't shown the ability to hit for power in 5 years, since low-A, with none in AA, AAA or MLB. We will see how much he ends up walking in MLB, but I'll guess not much if that doesn't change. Swihart had a terrible season vs L as R, but that is where a bunch of his upper level minors...

    Start, Sit, Trade: Play Along with Dave

    I am not a believer in Vazquez's bat. I think Swihart has a chance to be a vastly superior all-around player. I hate the idea of taking Swihart out from behind the plate, decreasing his value as a player. And since he had to get called up so early this year I don't like the idea of him using up...

      Bogaerts was out to a lead   #XforASG 32.7% #VoteDozier 20.3% #VoteMoose 18.1% #Voteyo 14.7% #VoteGardy 14.1%   but the fine print says twitter votes only count from 10a to 4p on Friday.

    Crazy Trade Proposals That Never Came True

    March 1975, the Indians offered the Red Sox Gaylor Perry (36) for Bill Lee (28) and Roger Moret.     March 2009, Theo turns down Michael Bowden for Miguel Montero.   September 2009, Epstein claimed and worked out a trade for Jose Bautista but ownership says no because it would have put the Red...

    The premature re-signing Lester thread

    There are a lot of tweets that were deleted by that kid between the Stanton news breaking by the Miami guy and now that would open some eyes.   Saved By The Bellhorn is where a lot of the old ESPN board posters went when those closed down.

    The premature re-signing Lester thread

      Well you can't tell us much then because this is completely false.   http://ask.fm/mlb_nl_al/answer/122079143844   When being good at finding stuff on twitter and guessing and luck and taking it too far combines = perfect storm.

    Let's Talk about the manager -- The John Farrell Thread

    Aside from not telling Victorino not to but, and the Morales disaster... the one situation I really disagreed with him was 2 outs, bottom of the 6th, 2nd and 3rd, down 2-1....... and letting Saltalamacchia hit and not going to Nava or Carp. Is that fan over-management thinking? The way...

    Felger and Mazz - Creating False Naratives one day at a time

    Sounds like Mazz has some serious pent-up issues with Gammons, as they discuss his interview with T&R, they are destroying Gammons and Abraham.
