    Reserving Judgment... But What Did the Sox Do and How Bad Will They Get Hit?

    Given the potential of losing Sale and potential drop in the standings, I just want clarity in regards to the punishment specifically in regards to draft picks!

    Our ownership group

    Having the head honchos in place lets those people be the people sitting through the press conference answering the tough questions rather than the ownership groups. Put another way, I think it would have better for them to have an entrenched personnel person handle the post-Mookie press...

    Our ownership group

    I guess I’m looking at on macro level.. for the better part of the last 20 years Ainge(2003) and Belichick(2000) have been the face of their respective team’s personnel decisions. Yes there have been others involved that have come and gone but the head honchos stayed in place. I am wrong about...

    You guys make a great case that the Sox aren’t that different in regards to turnover when compared to other MLB clubs. However, my original contention was they have had a lot of turnover when compared to the GM/president of other Boston sports teams. I think this distinction is important...

I have an 8 and 4 year old girls..I’m...

    Thank you Brock Holt (signs with Brewers, now with Nats, got 1 AB at Fenway on 8/29)

    I will miss the Brock! However, I look forward to the future NESN movie “Brock-Star” starring Matt Damon!!

    I also think a part of it is the lack of a consistent strong personnel person.. when we look at the other 3 other teams there has been tremendous consistent personnel leadership: Bruins- Neely Celtics- Ainge Patriots- the Hoodie The Sox have had so much turnover (I understand that the...

    Mookie Betts 2020 FA Watch

    I love this outlook especially with the owed money going down! If this team can start drafting and developing minor league pitching then I really think they can go after Mookie! Otherwise we will need to use resources(prospects or money) to get pitching!

    Passan: Baseball is Burning (in which Manfred calls the WS trophy a “piece of metal”

    https://mlb.nbcsports.com/2020/02/16/rob-manfred-offers-little-insight-shows-contempt-for-reporters-in-press-conference/ I agree that this has brought a lot of “interest” to baseball but it seems the Commissioner might be imploding per this report! Even calling out the WSJ reporter!

    2019-20 Offseason Discussion

    This is I wonder if this move means they might move JBJ! Interested to see if Pillar got 1 or 2 year deal.

    Ron Roenicke named interim manager

    Yeah! They really had no other realistic options this close to spring training. The optimist in me wants this team to go on a run but the realist in me really thinks this year is going to be a wash given all the issues around this team! I just hope we don’t get hit hard with draft pick penalties...
