    Back in the day, it was kind of a compliment. Stockton was known as one of, if not the dirtiest players in the game. Dwyane Wade had that rep among fans, I don't know if he does among players.

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    Is 5/160 that much different than 7/175 from a team building perspective? Are those last 2 years going to kill the sox, especially if the contract is front loaded? It's $15 million more total, but it's $7 million less annually. At 5/150 I'd probably sign him, yet 5/160 gives me pause. I guess...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    Not really, I think signing a SS long term is a waste of resources unless the goal is to move them off the position in a few years or it's a complete bargain of deal. Like 6/150. I'd be totally up for offering Correa a 3 year deal with an opt out every single year at $35 million. I'd be fine...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    Know all what? That he wouldn't take 4/120? I don't, but I'm guessing he wouldn't. I'd guess the minimum he'd get is 6/150 and I'm hoping that's what the Sox get him for. Do you think he'd sign 4/120? Or are you talking about the player I made up that believes in himself? I know that...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    Probably not something they can do this year, but in 2024 they could decide to play Rafaela at SS until Mayer is ready. That would still require them to have a CF, but Rafaela is a pretty good SS. He's a better CF but he's good at short.

    His Royal Chaimness or Will the Bloom Come Off the Rose?

    At some point, they would have to give up but 2023 would have to be dreadful. How long he has is a valid question but the answer is probably at least 2 years, which would be the end of 2024. If the team still sucks in 2025 and the farm has shown pretty much no results, it's hard to see Bloom...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    The poster specifically said that Seager and Correa were being paid more for being inferior in their primes. How are they defining primes? Obviously not by best stretch, because they want to exclude a 2 year stretch for Correa. By age? Correa is literally in the middle of his prime and...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    Much better over a larger sample size of games. He was also going back to 2018, I went back to 2019. BBref has the difference since 2018 at 23.3 to 21.1. So the gap is either 2.2 or 3.5. Over the last 3 years, Fangraphs has X at 12.1 and Correa at 11.8 BBref has X at 12.1 and Correa at 14.3...

    There is. The same poster calling other posters soft got all upset and made it a huge deal when I said "Get off my lawn" because I said today's NBA is just as entertaining/more so as the play of the 80s. Of course, the play of the 80s is so vague. We talking play like Denver or play like...

    Arizona Fall League Rosters for 2022.

    Kind of? I'd say it's between AA and AAA but that may be semantics. But yeah, I think a strong outing in the AFL can help Ward, Yorke, Kavadas and Abreu. Abreu should be in AAA to start next season and Ward might be, so they aren't too far away. I think Ward would have to dominate in his AFL...

    Arizona Fall League Rosters for 2022.

    Yorke: 20 PA, .357/.500/.500, 5bb/2k. Kavadas: 9 PA, .200/.556/.200, 4bb/3k. Wow. Out of 9 PA, he's put the ball in play twice. Abreu: 16 PA, .091/.250/.091, 3bb/3k. Scott (Stephen, not Steven): 8 PA, .250/.250/.500, 0bb/1k. Perry: 2.0 ip, 1 hit, 5 runs/5er, 7bb/0k. 5 wild pitches...

    In that situation, wouldn't Poole have to press charges or could someone else? I could NBA players looking down on Poole for pressing charges since it's a fraternity. Much like other team sports.

    FWIW, my comment about that was spin. Whenever these incidents do happen (and they do, but they aren't commonplace), it's "it happens all the time and we deal with it internally. Not a big deal." I'm sure scuffles happen all the time in practice, just like they do in NBA games. It's a bunch...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    I said 3/120. He definitely wouldn't take 4/120. I don't know if he'd consider that insulting necessarily but it's not a serious bid. 3/120... If the player really believes in themselves and think they have another decent contract at the end of their age 33 season... maybe? It's probably not...

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    I think Bogaerts actually wants to sign in Boston. He's already signed one discount to stay here. 4/80 is too much of a discount. Also, do you really think Xander would take 8/200 over 4/160? I think you are glossing over that 40 million per year over 25 mil per year part. 4/160 is a...

    Ime Udoka suspended for the 22-23 season

    I haven't been following this story super close because it's gross the way it's being portrayed by the media. I've gotten my news from this thread, and I'll skip a few pages to see if there's any new news. With that said, there were posts on here talking about multiple women and him being a...

    Sox considering bumping up game times

    I don't think ratings will dip that much either. More people stay in nowadays. The pre game might take a hit, but the post game bump will probably offset that.

    McAdam: Red Sox owners have met with Xander Bogaerts more than once in recent weeks to kickstart contract negotiations.

    I don't think 4/160 makes sense. I think most people think 6/160 would be close to his asking price. Even if he sucks in years 5 and 6, they'd be "free." It wasn't far off from my thinking with the Correa contract 1/35 with 2 player options making it 3/105. 105 probably isn't enough. 160...
