    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Need one of Montgomery/Snell so badly now... honestly going to be pissed if we don't sign one of them. Without an addition I'm pretty confident that we're going to run into the exact same problem as last year where the bullpen crashed and burned due to overuse. And somehow our rotation is...

    Alex Van Pelt named Patriots OC

    Ya this signing makes me pretty confident that they'll go with a QB using the 3rd pick or even trade up if that's a possibility. He has a history of developing QBs (including Rodgers) and seems to be the perfect coordinator to have for developing a young QB. And that's honestly what I'm hoping...

    Alex Van Pelt named Patriots OC

    They were also 10th best in the NFL in points per game and that's with 5 different QBs playing for them in a single season. Seems like a major feat to me.

    Offseason rumors

    There's a fine line between confidence and delusion. You can't seriously look at the results of last season and be comfortable with our potential starters when the only change is the replacement of Sale with Giolito. It would be insane to go into next year without making at least 1 more...

    Offseason rumors

    Agreed, "Competitive" probably means the Sox offered him 6/180 lol I really don't buy that we were competitive at all in trying to sign Yamamoto. Like I would bet a ton of money that we weren't even close to the Dodgers offer. And as GM of the Red Sox you have to understand that we'd have to...

    Offseason rumors

    Wanted him due to the fact he'd be cheaper than Snell but honestly it may make more sense to pay more for a known quantity like Snell (not that I have any faith in the Red Sox shelling out the money to get him).

    Offseason rumors

    If the Sox are going to be cheap fucks (which seems to be the case based on available information) I'd much rather see them spend money on pitching than on the outfield. We desperately need at least 2 more starters and without that it wouldn't even matter if we had Teoscar or not.

    new red Sox hitting coordinator - Dillon Lawson

    Not to mention when you factor in ballpark effects our offense has actually been decidedly average. 2023 team OPS+: 100 2022 team OPS+: 102

    Offseason rumors

    Exactly, I was just saying that the Shohei signing wasn't going to impact the Yankees interest in Yamamoto at all because they weren't interested in Shohei in the first place and they've been all in on Yamamoto for a long time. The only real impact of the Shohei signing is that it makes it less...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Agreed 100%. We're also pretty weak at the catcher position. Wong is alright but I see him as more of a backup catcher and definitely not a long-term solution. And outside of Teel, there isn't much catcher depth in the minors. During the season I was pretty blown away at how ready Teel was for...

    Offseason rumors

    I think acquiring Soto made it unlikely that the Yankees were seriously interested in signing Ohtani. Yankees were going to be pursuing Yamamoto intensely regardless of Ohtani and now I'm thinking they were never really that interested in Ohtani.

    Shohei Ohtani is an LA Dodger: 10 years/$700 million

    And only 1 fraudulent mickey mouse championship to show for it lol

    Offseason rumors

    So relieved he ended up with the Dodgers honestly. I really don't mind them that much and most importantly they're not in the AL. I was terrified he was going to end up with the Blue Jays, so this is really great news. Definitely a HUGE risk but if anyone can take it, it's the Dodgers. And...

    Tyler O’Neill traded to Red Sox

    Slim to none? Verdugo has never come close to having a season like O'Neill in 2021. And O'Neill's hitting profile will likely translate very well to Fenway. Not to mention our lineup needs a RH batter with significant HR power a hell of a lot more than it needs a LH batter with very minimal...

    The Dugie Down Bronx: Red Sox trade Alex Verdugo to Yankees

    Either that or they'll be included in a trade package for a starter (or Soto in my pipe dream).
