    Sox owners want to be under cap in '20

    Sarcasm? The Yankees are well over $200mil this year, even with all the young guys. Wait till Judge and Sanchez hit Arb.

    Thank you, Dave Dombrowski

    The same would then apply to the response i suppose. Believe it or not, every year a new GM wins a world series(or wins another one) Just because it isn't "our guy" doesn't mean it doesn't happen. At 17million posts here, you don't seem to spend much time doing much else in life, but there is...

    Thank you, Dave Dombrowski

    Ummmmm...NO I've had the debate about Price with a friend who would swear up and down that Dombrowski was brought it just to be able to sign Price. As he had a "relationship" with him. Still shake my head at that one. I'm sure Ben could have written "7/210+" on a napkin and slid it across the...

    Finn: Red Sox Potentially Changing Radio Broadcast Approach

    You can buy or subscribe to the MLB AtBat app and the radio stream is free. I can't stand the "radio" app for eei, so i have it in the mobile browser and every time i wanted to listen through the browser this year, i got the game. Maybe a handful of times. Usually that means someone screwed...

    Finn: Red Sox Potentially Changing Radio Broadcast Approach

    aka the "dale Arnold experience". I guess since he has called all 5 Boston sports teams (as he will mention every 5 minutes or so) he thinks he can just bring his own "style". Screw it if its ridiculous. He was a regular with Joe a few years ago, then went back t hockey, thank god. They keep...

    Is the problem Dana LeVangie? Dombrowski's vision?

    Well, grind em till they die might be a bit extreme, but having listened to them in spring training, it did feel a bit entitled. The dodgers and Stros in weaker divisions could pedal back a bit from the get go and utilize the 10 day il Anyone paying attention knew that the Sox probably didn't...

    Is the problem Dana LeVangie? Dombrowski's vision?

    This has been a peev of mine forever. Especially this year as we see the Dodgers(who played as many games as the Sox) and the Astros(who played almost as many) EASILY fielding a competitive team. THe Dodgers are probably on their third straight trip to the WS and the Astros their second in 3...

    BA: MLB is targeting an international draft, as soon as 2020. w/ hard caps, rotating top picks

    From your handle i'll assume you really are from Spain so maybe you feel lie you need to be protective and rally against "American Arrogance". OK, i get it. However, baseball players aren't mythical creatures that go to America and spread magic dust from town to town. If you come to America to...

    Nathan Eovaldi to close

    We get it, you are carrying the torch for Kimbrel here. Awesome. It sure seems like you are bemoaning the fact that we didn't sign Kimbrel <at the contract the Cubs signed him at>. I don't think had the Sox pursued him in the offseason that a 3/45ish was getting the job done. Kimbrel settled for...

    Swihart traded to Dbacks

    While this isn't the worst move this team has ever done, this is just dumb with a capital "B". "Hey, lets KEEP Blake, but never really give him a chance to play!!!!" "Wow, he's not improving or breaking out....I wonder why????" "Oh, yeah, you actually have to give guys playing time for that to...

    No NESN Red Sox DVD this year.

    I ordered "Band of Bearded Brothers" after the 2013 World Series win. Never ended up watching it as my BluRay player of the time had died. Recently was packing to move and ran across it, unopened. Popped it in the playstation and watched it. Pretty much a garbage production IMHO. Bad dialogue...

    PawSox now looking at sites in Pawtucket

    Also, if memory serves, the Hartford stadium doesn't have the minimum required seating for a AAA park. And the odds of the city putting any more money into it after the debacle to get it finished is, i assume, non existent. Although the Sox AAA affiliate on a long termcontract would certainly be...

    What will D-Dom do before the trade deadline?

    You've been here a long time and I've read your posts for years. You're smarter than this. Guys sign and get DFA'd all the time. It's baseball, you get paid no matter what. You think cutting bait with a high profile sign like Smoltz mid season effected their ability to sign guys one iota? I...

    Extending Chris Sale---what will it take?

    The current CBA will still be in effect at the point he actually hits free agency. Even if he stays healthy, what are the ramifications of committing 1/5 of a teams(under the "cap") payroll to ONE GUY? With that being said, I'm in the school of spending up to, but not over the cap. If you can't...

    Extending Chris Sale---what will it take?

    Is it just me, as i'm hearing nothing else yet, but isn't making the jump to $44mil/year a hell of figure to even suggest? Call me crazy, but shouldn't we be thinking that someone has to break the $35mil/yr threshold first? (Greinke technically hits it but AAV is lower) I like Sale, hell i love...

    Devers called up to Majors

    I get how they like to ease a hyped call up in on a road trip, but why not just bring him for the LA series? He'll probably sit Mon after flying cross country as well as to "acclimate", so another game lost.

    David Price 2017

    A player on the plane tells his wife, who mentions it to a friend or family member who has media connections. Something benign as that perhaps.

    Buchholz Traded To Philly For 2B/DH Josh Tobias

    I know that few people think this is a precursor to an EE signing, But with Swihart(with options) and Holt around for OF depth, moving Young and his 6.5mil and asking Moreland if he'd accept a trade would sure get them close. If they are projecting a 3+ year window of dominance, I'd rather it...

    MLB investigating Padres Over Pomeranz Trade

    Because you were in on every phone call between the two teams? I'll speculate as strongly as the next guy, but running your mouth in a forum as if you know it as absolute fact is next level arrogance. Or does having 20,000 posts and being the resident forum hit man mean facts don't matter...

    MLB investigating Padres Over Pomeranz Trade

    100% in agreement. I'm not familiar enough with the players that got returned in the Miami deal, but just because that happened doesn't mean it was even "equitable". Its more than possible Florida made out on that reversal. If they didn't, wouldn't you think there'd be a bigger stink?
