    Offseason rumors

    I had posted about the Red Sox signing Michael Lorenzen earlier in this thread and was met with only pushback, so after a some research I’m going to make the case once again. When looking at Stuff+ the league average was a 97, Lorenzen was at a 101. When looking at first pitch strike the...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Because he threw over 150 innings last season as a starter (where he also made the All-Star game as a starter and threw a perfect game). He would be an improvement over what we currently have and has a high chase rate and high spin rate who doesn’t walk many. The Red Sox need 3 new starters as...

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Why has there been no talk about Michael Lorenzen? Cora said this week on a podcast that the Red Sox could be in the market for 3 starters, Lorenzen would be a solid number 5 starter or another long guy from the bullpen who could spot start when injuries pop up. He doesn’t walk many guys and...

    Offseason rumors

    I’m wondering if the Mariners miss out on Bellinger and whoever else they are targeting to improve their lineup if they would accept a trade centered around Casas for Gilbert. I like the idea of following that up by signing Chapman but I’ll add trading for Drury to that, that would turn their...

    Offseason rumors

    Sign me up for 4 years of Stroman over 8 years of Monty. They would absolutely need to improve their infield defense if they do sign him though. Signing both Stroman and Imanaga might not be a big splash but is a major improvement over last season and should put them in the playoffs as a Wild...

    What does Red Sox catching look like in 2024?

    Originally I was reading that there was mutual interest between Sanchez and the Padres in reuniting but it seems stagnant. Additionally, Snell has credited Sanchez with makinghim more aggressive and getting out of jams better this past season. Sanchez doesn’t get on base much or hit for...

    Tyler O’Neill traded to Red Sox

    2 time gold glover who is in a contract year, I’m very optimistic on this trade.

    What does the Red Sox middle infield look like in 2024?

    I saw on X that Morosi reported the Twins are listening to multiple offers for Jorge Polanco. He has position versatility at short, second, and third while switch hitting. What are the thoughts on Polanco and the cost?

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    i agree, maybe it was the low standards I had but Meg-O actually fits with them. It’s a much better show than I had anticipated and so far I’ve enjoyed it.

    How do you feel now about this team, as opposed to earlier in the off-season?

    I made my first legal bet for the Red Sox to win the World Series and I look forward to cashing in that +8000 bet in late October or early November.

    So long, Framingham Lou (and other WEEI discussions)

    Meg-O started to grow on me, and then this week they put Fitzy in with her and it’s train wreck followed by a plane crash. I’ll give it a try when Jones starts but I can’t imagine it being successful.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Paxton and hopefully a healthy Sale should be in the “SP in section.” Overall it looks like a significantly better bullpen and more starting pitching depth while also improving the outfield. Huge step down in the infield.

    RIP Toucher and Rich Show ... It was fun while it lasted

    What am I missing with this guy? I’m usually a podcast guy but listened again today and shut it off when he called as I was confused and not entertained. I’m not sure if this show is for me, although at times I’m highly entertained.

    Ursa Major

    He can also play left if Yoshi DH’s against a lefty it could get us another righty in the lineup.

    Eck is done in the NESN booth after the season

    very sad story, it’s a shame that Eck name is being brought into this. He adopted her knowing she had mental health issues and tried for years to get her help. When she became 18 she left his care and chose a life of homelessness and crime. This story about the baby breaks my heart.
