    Red Sox acquire SS/3B Adalberto Mondesi for Josh Taylor

    I don’t hate the trade but I actually liked Taylor a lot and he managed an impressive 2.83 FIP last season. But clearly middle infield is a much bigger priority right now so I’m pretty happy we were able to get someone at minimal cost. I imagine we’re going to see another trade before spring...

    Do you think that Chaim Bloom came to Boston with a bad rap?

    Boston’s weather isn’t that bad for 80-90% of the baseball season and half the time they’re on the road. And I’m pretty sure players polled about Fenway said they actually really enjoy playing there The Red Sox pull in the 3rd most revenue for a reason, it’s an attractive market and a big...

    What does 2023 look like?

    Ya I’d go with Soto without a doubt… although it’s hard to turn down Ohtani but I think Soto will hold up better. Who knows but Ohtani has to be putting on some serious miles on his body by pitching and hitting. Soto is younger which makes it a no brainer though. If you’re going to give out...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Man if we package Sale with Devers in a trade I’m probably going to have to take a break from the Sox. I don’t want him traded either way but god forbid worst comes to worse and they trade him, I don’t want us to get back less talent because we forced our trade partner to take on Sale’s...

    Red Sox sign Justin Turner

    Amen to that, in no world should Kike be batting 2nd. I really like him as a player but his best attribute isn’t his hitting and it makes much more sense to have him in the bottom third.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Amen to that. That’s why I think it would be insane to trade Devers and not extend him. He’s the kind of guy that you build a championship roster around (elite production from a premium position, likely hasn’t peaked yet and will benefit significantly from the shift being banned). We really need...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    If they actually trade Devers, and Turner is their opening day starter at 3rd next year I’m not sure I’m going to be able to follow them like I usually do.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I really hope they aren’t dumb enough to actually adopt that as a strategy as they’ve already given Red Sox fans 4 championships and at this point it’s championship or bust for most Red Sox fans. I guarantee you if they don’t either win a WS or at least make it there within the next 5 years...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    If the rotation is that good next year they’re pretty much guaranteed to be a playoff team but I don’t share your optimism. Relying on Sale and Paxton to not only stay healthy but also perform at a high level is tough. I’d honestly be thrilled if both were able to pitch 20 games and put up an...

    How long will Chaim last?

    I call BS on them not having the resources to play in the FA talent market. They pull in the third most revenue in baseball (right behind the Yankees and Dodgers) and teams with far less revenue like the Padres are outbidding us. It’s pretty obvious they don’t want to get locked into long term...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Very happy about this if it actually gets done. I’d much rather have him at DH next year than JD. Dude will probably rake at Fenway too.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I really hope we don’t bring back JD, I’d much rather get Turner instead. Have a feeling he’d be the perfect Fenway hitter.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Fair point, Arenado has been good for the Cardinals as well (although not nearly as good as he was for the Rockies). Story’s road splits are also heavily influenced by playing in the division with the most pitcher friendly ballparks so that also is a major factor there. I just don’t think it’s...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    The fact Swanson got paid more than the Red Sox even offered to Xander is a joke honestly. Makes it pretty obvious that either they didn’t actually want him or they have a very poor ability to gauge the market, not sure which one would be worse.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    He won’t be playing half his games at Coors Field lol he’s not going to be a top 8 SS. Hope he proves me wrong though!

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Unless his contract is ridiculous I’m going to be pretty pissed. Chaim better make a trade for a legit SS because Story at SS would be a huge mistake. He was amazing at 2nd this year and messing with a good thing is dumb. Less mad about not getting Swanson (easily the worst out of the big 4 in...

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    Thinking about it more, there's a bigger chance that he's just a lazy moron. Soon to be the 28th amendment.

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    Cafardo also suggested today that the Red Sox should sign Swisher, Napoli, or Hamilton if we don't make a trade for Joe Mauer. At this point I think he's just fucking with us.

    Protecting the Shields -- The Nick Cafardo Thread

    I actually think he made a fair point there. I like Ellsbury but I would trade him in a heartbeat for the right deal. Many "pink hatters" would be irate if Ellsbury were to be traded, even if we got a haul of prospects in return. Cafardo is a lazy moron, but I can't really knock him for that...
