    Payton Pritchard says PRabbit, PRabbit on the First of Every Month

    Figure a team with multiple future firsts would gladly trade a lesser 1st for PP. Someone like the Spurs who have a big ball handler in Castle who would allow PP to guard the PGs and be a secondary initiator of the offense. He’d be tremendous playing off Wemby, I think. But, like you said...

    Sox sign Aroldis Chapman

    He’s not black but Daniel Murphy took a lot of criticism for saying he “disagreed with the lifestyle” of a gay teammate. Happened about a decade ago.

    Sox sign Aroldis Chapman

    That’s the most surprising thing to me. From a PR standpoint, it’s a huge own goal. Is the upside of a 3.50 ERA or whatever RP worth this? The Chiefs and Dolphins took on Tyreek because he is an elite player. Chapman is a RP on the tail end of his career. Like, why do this?

    Sox sign Aroldis Chapman

    Ownership needs to address it. If they don’t or side step questions, that is bad. I know they’re probably hoping for a “hey, look at this Juan Soto signing” distraction but they need to own this. My guess is they largely won’t.

    Sox sign Aroldis Chapman

    You will not celebrate his accomplishments? Great. Hopefully Sox ownership takes notice of this resounding message you’ll be sending.

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    I think we’re all aware. This is a question of risk tolerance and risk/reward, really. If Soto helps the Sox to a title, he could have 0.0 WAR on the back end and I wouldn’t care.

    Sox sign Aroldis Chapman

    End of the day, the Red Sox are a business. Chapman is objectively a bad human being. Nobody here disputes this fact. The Red Sox made a business decision to hire someone with a bad domestic violence history. They will own that decision. It’s unfortunate that Sox fans now have to face a...

    Are the Pats the worst team in the NFL?

    Since Day 1, he has given the impression that he is wholly unqualified for the position he is now in. Most people in this situation succeed when they demonstrate the humility and accountability needed to figure out what they don’t know or need to improve on. Mayo’s general defensiveness and...

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    I think we’re all probably using different discount rates for defense. It’s clearly important but some of the issues can be partially mitigated by a move back to LF and having strong OF defense at CF/RF. Obviously, not easy to snap your fingers and find that but I like the near-term options...

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    Why would he need to be a DH soon? Manny, a reasonable Soto comp, played OF into his late 30s. Stick him in LF to mitigate whatever concerns are there with his defense. Given his hitting profile, I don’t really have any concerns with his bat for a while and I’d gladly pay a premium to lock in...

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    Yeah, I’m near 100% certain that’s exactly what Boras’ Burnes strategy is based on. The losers will pivot to the best SP and there will be added pressure to deliver something sellable quickly.

    MLB (Manfred) pondering the idea of a Golden At-Bat

    This sounds serious. Better sign Soto, Henry.

    2024 MLB Offseason News

    He has and I think 2022 was a bit of an outlier but he has a good eye at the plate and the power is real. There will likely be consistent swing and miss issues at the MLB level just like in Japan. He’s probably more of a .240 or .250 hitter in MLB but with 40+ HR potential, someone will pay up...

    2024 MLB Offseason News

    Giddy up. Turns 25 in February so should be seeing some big money this time next year. Feels like a potential Yankees move to me although depends on how they address 1B this year.

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    Your friend is 100% convinced that Cohen won’t be outbid for Soto or Cohen himself is convinced that he won’t be outbid?

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    The lack of news leads me to believe we’ve now reached the serious part of the process. I don’t for one second believe it’s a 2 team race between the Mets and Sox but wouldn’t be surprised if Soto himself has started to eliminate teams such as the Jays.

    12/1 - @ CLE - Unbelievable to Watch

    No Jaylen or White tonight. Will be tough. Need 45 from PP.

    How Much is too Much for Soto?

    I think Witt had a chance before he signed his 11/288 deal last ST, which is looking like an absolute steal for the Royals.
