    WILL the Sox add another player and if so, who?

    I have to assume you are correct, in combination with the organization just can’t have valued Teel as highly as we all did. At a glance it seems so obvious that catcher is a position where we could significantly upgrade the roster. All of the major internal and external upgrade options all seem...

    Red Sox sign Walker Buehler

    I just love this signing. We needed Crochet and I hope he will be our horse. But Beuhler is our big game pitcher. If we are to win the World Series this year I suspect it will be because at a pivotal moment the ball was in Walker Beuhler’s hand. He was the guy that trotted out to the bullpen 2...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    Two thoughts. is anybody else somewhat surprised that it almost seems as though the Red Sox hadn’t really thought about moving Devers off 3rd base until the media pressed them a couple of weeks ago? “We haven’t talked to Raffy about moving.” Why the hell not? Shouldn’t that conversation have...

    Hooking Crochet? 12/8 update: Rumors of Red Sox "just on the periphery," "not aggressors at all" at this point.

    Of course they are going to ask for Anthony. When they traded Cease to the Padres they probably asked for Ethan Salas first but they ended up trading him for Drew Thorpe (MLB #85) plus others.

    Duran homophobic slur fallout thread; suspended 2 games

    As a gay Sox fan and longtime reader of the SOSH board reading through the posts on this thread makes me feel extraordinarily supported. I’ve always known that the quality of the baseball discourse on this board is far superior to average sports message boards. I should like to say how proud I...

    Yes. Like That. Again

    but thankfully Cora found a way to keep Smith and Valdez infield defensive prowess in the lineup ;-)

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    For me Rafaela is a very fun and exciting player to watch. He impacts games. He will make some errors, he will make some exceptional plays. I will be disappointed any game he is not in the lineup. He is also our team leader in RBI. However he’s done it he has driven in more runs than any other...

    Beat the Giants today Maye 2

    first 3 games: 5 innings pitched 1 hit, 0 walks 6 strikeouts probably earned a 4th outing no?

    4.5 - Angels in the Outfield

    Obviously praying it’s not but if it is then this is a year for the kids. You call up Mayer because he’s that good. I don’t want to move Rafaela from CF

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Tweet from Jeff Israel: “Welcome back to SportsCenter Presented by ESPN Bet, for more on the Ohtani situation we go to our FanDuel MLB Insider Jeff Passan at our DraftKings Studio in Los Angeles brought to you by Caesar’s Sportsbook. Jeff, how could something like this happen?”

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Agreed. That’s the part that just doesn’t smell right. Given that the payment was made to an illegal bookie it may well be that Ohtani is going to be in potentially bigger trouble with the feds than with MLB. At least that’s what Yasiel Puig told me….

    Glass Half Full nuggets for 2024 Sox

    It is ALL exciting. I love baseball and I love the Red Sox. Have I joined in on the “front office should have signed a couple more players?” Of course I have. But now it’s spring training and everything seems possible again. I am imagining every young player breaking through…(Casas as an MVP...

    Sox trade John Schreiber to KC for minor league right-hander David Sandlin

    From MLBTraderumors: “ ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel recently ranked Sandlin as the fifth-best prospect in the Royals’ farm system, while The Athletic’s Keith Law ranked the righty seventh.“ I liked Schreiber but this seems like a big win to me. Especially given the lack of pitching prospects in the...

    Offseason rumors

    I have come to the conclusion that the only SP worth “backing the truck up” for is Corbin Burnes. He’s the pitcher who I would like to be our ace for the next 6-8 years. I know he said he would want to test free agency UNLESS AN EXTENSION BLEW HIM AWAY. So, I am curious: - what player package...

    Offseason rumors

    I don’t see a whole bunch of empathy / understanding for players going thru personal off the field stuff. Yoshida had off field and on field adjustments to make. Giolitto had a divorce and two team changes to cope with. I remember the year that I got divorced and it had a huge effect on my...
