    SotoVerse Free Agency/trade targets.

    They are family. Always tough.

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto

    As a person who holds many meetings each week, a meeting can go long because of the presenter or because an engaged audience asks lots of questions and delves into topics that add length to the meeting. Based on reporting, it appears Soto was engaged and had genuine questions. That makes a 3...

    Juan Soto in Boston-Yay or Nay?

    I understand he's not coming for a while but having Soto on the pay roll at such a high figure and Devers at his salary may remove us from the bidding. Which i definitely do not want.

    Is Plate Discipline Teachable or Changeable?

    But a man that hits 31 home runs and only has 61 RBIs isn't exactly driving in people when he has the opportunity. I think the entire team is frustrating to watch with a man on third and less than two outs, but TON is certainly one of the problems in this area. Edit: I stand corrected by Red Hawks

    Juan Soto in Boston-Yay or Nay?

    So first off I voted no... Mainly because he doesn't address our biggest issue of pitching. And because I irrationally hope that we will sign Roki Sasaki (i know, I know) and don't want to curb our ability to do that. While I think he is the type of player you happily give a lot of money to...

    Devers to get MRI on shoulder, season likely over

    I am not saying that we could have certainly avoided Devers injury by DHing him certain games. What I am saying, and I know you realize it too but want to take shots a the new guy, is that if we manage his playing time by giving him more days off and DHing him more we will most likely keep him...

    Devers to get MRI on shoulder, season likely over

    Maybe? If he was DHing that game in Colorado he nevers dives for that ball and doesn't hurt his shoulder. I'm not saying that all injuries can be avoided, but they could certainly manage his playing time to try and keep him healthier and more productive. More days off, more days at DH. If we...

    Devers to get MRI on shoulder, season likely over

    But it would sure be nice to see him make it through the entire season and be at full capacity in September. I'm all for managing his playing time so that he can play more games at his peak instead of what we have been watching from him lately....

    TO, QO or no?

    I totally agree that trying to sign him long term with our current stable of outfielders and those hopefully soon forcing the issue from AAA. But it's a no brainer to give him a QO. We either get a pick or insurance against someone getting injured or struggling. Plus while he can strike out...

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    You can sign me up on the O'Neil train... he's a legit power bat and can actually play in the outfield.

    And don't forget everyone gets penalized for playing left field at Fenway.

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    I am just not sure the potential upgrade of Vladi over Casas is going to be that extreme (aside from which side of the plate they hit from) or worth the $20M- $25M extra over the cost of Casas. Plus he is the first Red Sox player my 2 yr old son recognized, liked and gets excited by... I can't...

    When Is It Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    Man sometimes I'm surprised by the responses on this board..... beginning of the year people are lined up to extend Casas for up to $100M depending on the terms... one fluke injury later we are trading him for Vlad or maybe a starting pitcher... the kid is young. He wasn't able to settle in...

    Bobby Dalbec DFA

    Fun story, I got to see Dom Smith play for the Reds against the A's before labor day weekend. My 2 1/2 year old son was like daddy he's a red sox... I said he was, but not any more... He said do we still like him? I said yes son we do....

    A Dream of 2025, What is Going Right and Looks like the Sox can Build On

    As Fishy outlined the pen is not as lacking once several of those guys are healthy, but could always use a good arm... starting pitching however is where 2025 will be won or lost in IMO

    Tracking the Main WC Contenders - Final 30 Games

    I will continue to watch because baseball is my favorite sport and college football is only on on Saturdays.... but the team is done. The walk parade last night was just a symbol of the season. We have the opportunity, but fail to execute. I am more and more confident for 2025, if we can add...

    David Hamilton to 10 day IL with a left index finger fracture: Sogard recalled

    Hey it's the first bunt our team has successfully laid down in a while... perhaps they should all use their fingers when it's important.
