    Fenway for the first time in a long time

    Seconded. There is nothing like walking up that ramp that can evoke the Fenway Wow factor any better.

    Forget Bolf, Let's Talk Frolf: The Disc Golf Thread

    The question of where to draw the lines seems fraught with complexity. Does this mean that all FPO players must submit blood tests to determine testosterone, including all the feminine looking players? What if a male athlete with low testosterone is below the threshold? Can they register as FPO...

    Forget Bolf, Let's Talk Frolf: The Disc Golf Thread

    I posted this in V&N 3 weeks ago. I figured that was the more appropriate forum, as we often try to keep politics to threads in V&N, but it got no traction there. It sounds like she is going to sue the PDGA, and I hope she wins. They went from having no restrictions, to suddenly having one of...

    Forget Bolf, Let's Talk Frolf: The Disc Golf Thread

    I was at a putting league last week and they used something I'd never seen before, and can't seem to locate online anywhere. Basically, it was a hood that you placed over the top of the basket, and depending on which way you oriented the hood, there were a variety of smaller than normal basket...

    The 5 Dumbest Moves in Franchise History

    Almost all the other moves are those of the front office. Little leaving Pedro in has to be the dumbest on field move in Red Sox history.

    Carlos Correa and the Giants agree on a 13-year, $350m deal

    Funny, just 2 years ago it was the Rays and how they can find bargains from the leftovers bin... I'll concede that this may be what teams are doing, but I think we won't know how well this works for several years.

    The New Math (I’ll gladly pay Justin Turner today not Bogaerts in 9 years)

    I think your new math needs some revision. Even with a large chunk coming in the last 2 years from inflation in the wake of Covid, the dollar had 29% inflation over the last 10 years. For you to set the assumption of inflation at 50% over the next 10 years doesn't seem realistic. There are many...

    The New Math (I’ll gladly pay Justin Turner today not Bogaerts in 9 years)

    Absolutely. My point was simply that there were more valuable assets that could have been helpful to the Sox (certainly more than Price helped). I'm not saying they should have signed them.

    The New Math (I’ll gladly pay Justin Turner today not Bogaerts in 9 years)

    We went for it in 2018, and now we have that title forever. But in 2022, we spent $46M for 5.2 innings between Sale (I know he signed after the WS) and Price. The past caught up to the Red Sox. I'm guessing something worse will happen to all these teams looking to pay $25M+ to 40 year old...

    The New Math (I’ll gladly pay Justin Turner today not Bogaerts in 9 years)

    Doesn't it also simply defer the luxury tax implications? Bogaerts and Turner's contracts will still be on the books for luxury tax purposes for these clubs in 2034 (unless they get traded). The Sox in 2022 had $16M worth of David Price going into their tax threshold. $16M in last year's free...

    Poll: Grade the Xander to San Diego Contract

    I think this is exactly right. What could the Sox really have done differently? Boras is a master at maneuvering his clients on to the square where they get the best offers and he extracts maximum dollars. We've already seen a few free agents choose less money for a preferred location, but that...

    Red Sox sign Masataka Yoshida

    In this case, it really is only John Henry's money, so you should ignore it.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Exactly. Boras will do whatever he can extract the most money for his client. Not even a crappy agent would ever say publicly, "we will give x team a chance to match", even if the player had directed them to do this. That would scare away offers, and drive down the price for the client who wants...

    Before replay, Bellhorn would have hit a double and A-Rod would have been safe. Point replay.
