    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I'm pretty certain that is Brayan Bello's deal, not Rafaela's.

    Anchor Investment or Distressed Asset? Where the Red Sox Fit in the FSG Portfolio

    I realize this is going to be a wildly unpopular post. But I do think we have to look at the weak correlation between spending and winning -- at least in 2023. Here is the Spotrac breakdown. Overall, it shows a weak positive correlation between spending and winning. And I stipulate up-front...

    The Red Sox Payroll Poll

    I appreciate the poll, and it is interesting to see the consistency in responses, at least as of this writing. I suspect we are in a realignment of the realities of free agency where free agent money is just not going to be able to buy you the caliber of player that it could previously. I will...

    What is next for BB?

    The odds are against it, in particular because of the record to be broken, but it would be an amazing ending if he wrapped things up at the Naval Academy.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    It’s always the money, except when they say it’s not about the money…then it’s really the money.

    Rhamondre Stevenson: High Ankle Sprain. Best Possible Outcome?

    Having just watched my 17 year old son take 9+ weeks to recover from a high ankle sprain I have no idea how anyone could play football this year. Now I recognize that high ankle sprains are all different, but my kid is just now able to do his sport mostly without pain almost 4 months later. He...

    Rafael Devers: post extension performance

    I mean…a .741 OPS over 77 PA is not really notable.

    The Sons and Daughters of Kate Bishop (archery)

    As with most great archers, I decided to take up the sport at the age of 48. I live in Connecticut, and my kids compete in the Nutmeg games (like a state Olympics only with a stupid name) in fencing. Well I decided I needed something for me so I went through the Nutmeg Game sports and landed on...

    Red Sox sign Masataka Yoshida

    And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost.

    What does 2023 look like?

    I'll say that I have been a defender of Bloom, "the plan," and John Henry. That said, at this point I lay this primarily at Henry's feet. I think I remember (but I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong) that it was clear DD was out the door when he gave Sale what I believe to be the most...

    Filling the Lyric Little Bandbox, 2023

    I do love this place.

    Team Mac or Team Zappe?

    I voted Mac. But I also voted Bledsoe so….

    Hansel Robles has been designated for assignment.

    This should fire up the hot stove

    Jeter out as Marlins CEO

    Now that Jeter has left, the Marlins will certainly be tested

    The Mainboard MLB Lockout Thread

    For what it is worth, I don't respond as well to Bernie's argument (which is probably not surprising as I am a capitalist). I think there is a much stronger argument to be made that the players salaries are artificially constrained. In a true capitalist system the players should be able to...
