    Roki Sasaki to be posted this winter

    Thanks for being so condescending. Yes I know how this works and that his signing is capped by international signing bonus rules in the CBA. That doesn't change the fact that the Dodgers are a model organization while other owners are not reinvesting money in their development process to make...

    Roki Sasaki to be posted this winter

    Correct. The problem is the Billionaire owners who pocket revenue sharing money instead of investing in Baseball players, scouts and development. Really sad that the Red Sox didn't even get within sniffing distance of Sasaki.

    This is an evergreen post. When they just keep jacking 3s with a large lead it kills me.

    The 2025 Boston Red Sox and The Concept of a Six Man Rotation

    I do like the idea but I only think it works if the added starter slots in above Houck. Burnes is obviously that, and perhaps one of the Seattle starters if a trade materializes. Flaherty arguably is that as well. Buehler maybe is? To take up a roster spot when there are three candidates in the...

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    So much for Dombrowski always gets his guy. As this goes on, I feel much better about having moved Teel. It's tough to pin your hopes on a catching prospect of whom the question being asked is not "Will he hit?" rather than "Will he be able to catch?". Variteks become James McCann but the...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    I agree but I think what Nvalvo was saying in response to my post is that Abreu has a ton of surplus value and Castillo does not. That gap should be closed by Seattle for a deal with those two as the framework. Yoshida would be an interesting way to do so as Seattle needs bats and they would get...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    I'm now clearly seeing the major flaw in my thinking. Both you and Nvalvo have pointed this out. Trading surplus value in someone like Abreu for Castillo who doesn't have any is a non-starter. Abreu and Yoshida for Castillo? That seems more like it. EDIT: To add those who called out my post and...

    That it would cost less to get him because of those warts. Extreme back of napkin: Last year he had 1.8 WAR and two seasons ago had 3.4 WAR. 2.6 WAR is not that far off from $22M on the open market. Only a 3 year commitment as well. Trading Abreu who has not hit lefties ever for a pitcher who...

    Derosa on MLB Network just called this tweet out as ridiculous. He said "If you want Casas let's talk Bryce Miller, George Kirby." I think he's right. If it's Castillo it's about acquiring the salary. I really like Hank Scorpio's idea of including Yoshida but that would likely mean including...

    Abreu for Castillo actually seems like a fair deal considering the salary involved. ($68 M Guaranteed for 3 years for Castillo)

    It was actually a tweet from a Seattle writer which included Ryan Divish (another Seattle reporter). They did not come up with it on their own.

    Max Fried signs with MFY

    The years are almost irrelevant at this point. The additional years are to lower the hit to the AAV for CBT purposes. Breslow and Co. better get out of their comfort zone and be realistic about what it is going to take to win the bidding war for a pitcher. Focus on what they are going to get...

    Mets sign Juan Soto for 15 year, 765M (no deferrals, opt-out after 5 which can be voided by Mets for +40M)

    Absolutely true. I heard one of the talking heads say that with this contract Stearns has already exceeded the monetary value of all of the contracts he had given out as Brewers GM.* *I'm paraphrasing and also unverified. It's not. It's much better IMO. All things being equal I think the Red...

    Mets sign Juan Soto for 15 year, 765M (no deferrals, opt-out after 5 which can be voided by Mets for +40M)

    Looking at Soto in the context of a Mets lineup is staggering. The lineup is just frankly not that good. If they do end up re-signing Alonso then it looks a lot different but: Lindor SS Soto RF Vientos 1B Nimmo LF Marte DH McNeil 2B Siri CF Alvarez C Baty 3B From a pure...

    September: Red Sox discussion and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    That will work. I think it was very clear to people on this board, the front office, and most casual observers of MLB that the Red Sox did not have enough pitching to compete in 2024. This team did not have enough innings in it period. This is true of many clubs but the fact that Bello, Houck...
