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

    He is worth more to some teams than others due to the cost control, which you seem to refuse to read or acknowledge while being busy trying to refute every post anyone throws out there right now. Last year while the Sox were trying to stay under the cap and were up against it (and there's an...

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

    There's only a handful of top flight catchers out there and none are easily available. If it takes an Arenado salary dump and more to get one in a three team deal, I'd sign up for that. The Red Sox have money to burn and I don't think they're attracted to many of the FA targets, so taking on...

    Red Sox trade Mickey Gasper to Twins for Jovani Moran

    Another pitcher that already was walking a ton of guys, and now comes off of TJ where control is the last aspect of their games expected to return. I like most of what Bres has done, but really starting to think he thinks lack of strike zone control is the new market inefficiency, and I'm not...

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    Two concerns with this signing. 1) if 2025 is competitive and we get to the trade deadline and want to make a move but not want to cross the tax line, and this deal blocks a move because of that... that would be brutal. 2) this guy had control issues already, and the last thing to come back...

    Rickey Henderson has died

    Once again, the Red Sox get beat to a top notch player this year. Cheap ownership. Rickey was one of my favorites, and I'm confident that Rickey believes he was all of our favorites. Good on him, what a pleasure to watch.

    Sons of Rube Goldberg: MLS 2024-25 Offseason Thread

    Yes, competition is a thing and maybe the competition wasn't as stiff in last year's time slot, but I think this is the real effect of putting the whole league behind the apple TV paywall. No one watched all year - so why tune in for the title game? Hell, this game featured better markets and...

    Boston’s taxing pursuit of Juan Soto is over. (Mets)

    Yeah this is the team I'm on. Two top of the rotation arms, consolidate the IF depth a bit in a trade and a top of the order RH bat. Let's go.

    8/21 - Last non-Eastern time zone game

    Over .500 on a road trip against the O's and the red hot stros... even with a gut punch or two in there (and how big does that final game in balt look now??) youve gotta take that every time. enjoy the day off. Easier slate over the next two weeks, time to play some .600+ baseball!

    Big 3 are promoted to AAA

    Story is a righty so not sure he gets too actively dangled, esp with Mayer potentially delayed.

    8/19-@Astros-Houck Tuah

    Jansen, Pivetta, O'Neil... Thats a decent prospect haul right there. I would have outbid the O's for Efflin if TB would have it. Not sure they would. Yeah obviously youve got to get the deal done, but the point really was "do it or dont do it" and what we got was oatmeal, just slop that was...

    8/19-@Astros-Houck Tuah

    I said this before the deadline and got stoned. 1000%. A legit starter could have already been worth 2-3 wins. But I think the need to add a RHB, two SPs, at least 2 bullpen arms was too much... This team wasn't actually a legit contender yet and likely should have sold. But once they...

    You think this team is better than I do. I hope you're right, but I guess we will find out.

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    What did we get from all of those guys we acquired for this year? A combined 1-2 WAR for the rest of the season? If we weren't going to add wins and become serious about contending, we should have sold in this market. Letting the value of pivetta walk at the end of a non contending year is...

    2024 Trade Deadline Roundup (non-Red Sox moves)

    kinda screams that none of the super high end pitchers are going to be moved. If they were, the O's would have been first in line I think. Not unexpected though...

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    I think this is less likely this year since the fans arent the only constituency that Breslow has been selling this to. Back to back years the guys in the locker room have publicly acknowledged their holes and asked for help and last year it was very clear they were frustrated. You're...

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    Agreed, no problem at all with a pivot - that is not what Chaim did so I'm not sure you post tracks, but at this point I'd almost prefer a pivot...

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    Strong disagree here. If I know the guy before me was fired and that one specific flaw was mentioned repeatedly as to why he was fired, I would in fact prioritize not having that flaw. That is not foolish. That doesn't mean make ridiculous or poor deals, but in this case it means picking a...

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    I'd be bummed coming out of today for sure, I'll tell you that. And given the state of the pitching staff, my expectations would be very low. So you're correct. I would not be excited. EDIT: Redoctober said it more eloquently than I did. Same idea. There is a potentially significant...

    Red Sox trade deadline rumors

    Not surprising to read that - Year One GM says he's going to buy and I wouldn't call what the Sox have done yet "buying" as a backup C, minor league starter and two DFA's (understanding that Pax was a bit more than your normal DFA) sounds much more like a Chaim Bloom "dipping my toe in the water...
