    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Red Sox Payroll from Twitter/Medium has a much more accurate depiction of the Sox Payroll than Spotrac.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    I would imagine they would want it read by more than one qualified person.

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    I think this is also 100% why he is in AA to start the season. The Red Sox need Grissom to get all the reps at 2B possible so that he can play in the majors. The AA infield is also very crowded. I'm very certain Yorke will get called up to AAA right after Grissom is called up to the Sox.

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    By many accounts, Shohei and Ippei were friends. So this could get even worse for Ohtani potentially.

    Offseason rumors

    And potentially makes it less likely they sign one in their 30s to a big money deal. This injury may reaffirm a philosophy that seems to already be a guiding principle.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Do we really need to re-litigate Bauer in this thread?

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    $40 Million for a guy who may never pitch again effectively in the Major Leagues. It will be his second TJS. This is the worst case scenario for the Red Sox for this contract.

    FSG to make major investment in...professional golf?

    Very interesting list of names in this group. Steve Cohen (Mets) Wyc Grousbeck (Celtics) Arthur Blank (Falcons) FSG's Henry, Werner, Mike Gordon, Sam Kennedy and CEO of Globe Media Linda Henry Mark Attanasio (Brewers) A good reason why this doesn't infuriate a lot of people is that there are...

    Offseason rumors

    I agree with you which is why I wrote that last line. I don't believe the FO is thinking that way however. I'd love to be wrong.

    Offseason rumors

    I see what you did there. I think it's likely the Jansen trade speculation and rumor is related to to the remaining starting pitching on the market. If there is an upgrade to SP at a price they like (ie Montgomery 4/110) then Jansen goes. This would also be foolish in my opinion because if...

    What is the Minimum Level of Success You will be Satisfied with from the 2024 Red Sox?

    I voted option 3 but develop the kids is the clearest path to this team being better in the near term. If two out of three of Whitlock, Houck and Crawford can be reliable mid-rotation starters this team will make hay in 2025. Let's find out if they are because if they aren't it's time to put...

    Offseason rumors

    Next year's free agent class is very robust, especially in the pitching department. I'm as disappointed in this offseason as the rest of us, but spending unwisely can prevent the team from improving meaningfully by paying big money to mediocre performers. If they start locking up some of these...

    Chris Sale (plus $17mil) traded to Atlanta for Vaughn Grissom

    I think the characterization of Grissom not being blocked is incorrect. With Albies at 2B they wanted him to compete for SS and Arcia beat him out. Arcia is a vet who is a better fit for the position defensively and offensively is league average. He also is a D first SS NOW which is valuable to...
