    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Waited as long as I could, I'll go with 75-87. -Team leader in Wins? Bello -Team leader in Losses? Bello -Team leader in Saves? Jansen -Team leader in ERA (qualifying)? Bello -Team leader for Batting Average (qualifying)? Devers -Team leader for OPB (qualifying)? Casas -Team leader in OPS...

    2024 Red Sox Spring Training

    That Sam Travis quote could have been me (not the Devers part). I was really high on him and thought he could be a Mark Grace caliber player. Basically what I'm saying is that I don't know what I'm talking about and my posts should be treated as such.

    Offseason rumors

    I'm not sure what else there is to do with this team. I suppose we could sign a low-level starter like Lorenzan who is mentioned in the thread. After all, somebody has to take innngs, but this feels like a "what do we have" season. I would'nt call it letting the kids play, but we need to figure...

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    I voted for good to very good. Coming into this offseason this team desperately needed consistent starting pitching. To be able to sign arguably the two best innings eaters on the market would be a nice get for Breslow. Every other deal he's made I've been fairly excited about. Trading a season...

    Why the Red Sox may be missing a chance to accelerate their build (Speier Article)

    I think this is dead on. The messaging has been mixed at best. In addition, the lack of a coherent plan being shared has left us all wondering what is going on. They really need help in the PR department. Back to the matter at hand. I agree with Spier's overall thought process but I'm not sure...

    Why the Red Sox may be missing a chance to accelerate their build (Speier Article)

    Plus, can we start judging on the actual, you know…results? Nearly every move a GM makes can be defended on some level, but the results are where the rubber meets the road. Bloom looked at the team, and thought this team can make the playoffs, so he holds onto aging vets. They immediately shit...

    Offseason rumors

    Certainly doesn't hurt, but I'm dubious that this means any real change in direction. Theo's next step was always ownership. Glad it's with the Sox.

    FA Remains: What are the Chances?

    I think they have about a 25% chance of resigning Turner. Outside of that, I don't see it. They're not going to spend on a big FA, the front office has basically said so, I think we should believe them. I could see a Turner reunion if they can get him around 1/12, which is possible. We need a...

    Should the Sox sell high on Jarren Duran?

    I voted to trade him. He turns 28 this season. He is what he is. Based on his profile last year, it's highly unlikely that he duplicates his success. Could he settle into a nice 1-1.5 win player..sure, but there are better internal candidates to handle CF starting next year, hell Rafela could...

    Offseason rumors

    I'll only add, that I agree that there need to be harsher caps, but I'd also like to see penalties for minuscule payrolls. If you're going to tell the Dodgers that they can only spend 225m or lose a pick then you should say the same to the A's if they don't spend 100m. What's good for the goose...

    Lucas Giolito signs 2 year, 38.5M contract with Red Sox (opt-out after 1 year, potential 3rd year option)

    I like the deal, although I don’t like the opt out. As noted above, Gio is exactly the type of guy you go after if you hire Breslow / Bailey. Let’s see if he can regain his old form, and if he does, we’ll be able to negotiate before anyone else. One thing about playing in Boston, is guys that...

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

    As they should, results matter. If this happens, he should receive criticis, just like Bloom did with the Renfoe trade.

    Sox in on Giolito?

    Seems like there was something wrong with the Chi Sox. All of their pitchers regressed last year. Giolito’s stuff is still good.

    Sox in on Giolito?

    I agree with this. If Breslow is the type of guy that we think he may be, then this is the type of player you go after. He was getting Cy Young votes as recently as 2021. Throw in the fact that he pitched for one of the most dysfunctional organizations in sports, and it points to high upside...
