    Which AL East team(s) would you trade places with right now?

    I'd been preparing this post before Bloom's firing, but it obviously strikes a different note now. This hypothetical came up in conversation with an anti-Bloomer friend and I've been thinking a lot about it. Could make an interesting exercise. Which AL East franchise(s)' next five seasons...

    Who plays right field for the Sox in 2023?

    Since so many of our discussions about next year's team veer into relitigations of the Mookie and Renfroe trades and their respective fallouts, or into Judge's upcoming free agency, it seems like a good time to dedicate a thread to this question alone. Who plays right field next year? The...

    Sox Contract Extension Poll

    Five significant Sox veterans contracts’ expire next year, and another franchise superstar hits free agency in 2024. But the team has money. Assuming Bogaerts opts out, they’ll be an estimated $145 million under the first CBT tax threshold ($233M) in 2023, and roughly $166 million under it...

    2019-20 Offseason Discussion

    With Chaim Bloom’s expected hire, this should be an exciting, if possibly painful, offseason. In contrast to the news and notes thread, I’m hoping this can be a place to discuss strategy and potential paths in roster construction to get back in contention, including and beyond questions about...

    2019 Trade Deadline

    There are exactly eight weeks until this year’s trade deadline, which as you recall carries more significance after rule changes prohibiting August waiver trades. The Sox are currently 7.5 games behind the AL East-leading Yankees with a full 14 games against them yet to play. They’re tied for...

    Sox sign Adam Lind

    Confirmed minor league deal, per Drellich. https://twitter.com/evandrellich/status/1001598537501696000 Apologies if this better belongs in the minors forum, seems like a significant player.

    Yanks to sign Neil Walker

    Seeing this on Twitter, pending physical. No contract details yet. Annoyed. He's a good player and it's probably cheap.

    What is Swihart worth?

    Shall this man be traded? And for whomst? Multiple reports this morning that the Sox are “flooded with calls” on Blake Swihart. It’s discussable beyond the limits of the Blake Can Rake thread since it collides with potential trade needs (probably an arm), but isn’t appropriate for the...

    Sox Sending 10 Tons of Relief Supplies to Puerto Rico

    Per Pete Abe (in a Facebook post): Apparently Cora had it negotiated into his contract. Smart, classy move.

    The Sox and the First Base Market

    Since these names keep cropping up in the risk/reward threads, it may be interesting to look closer at the first base market. Many first basemen broke out last year (Bellinger, Olson, Hoskins, Gallo, Bird, Bour, Smoak, Bell, Mancini, Jose Martinez, Thames and uhh, Zimmerman), and it flooded the...

    Who is Our Competition for JDM?

    Finally, there’s clarity. We’re not getting Stanton, and we’re not getting Ohtani. Say what you will about Theo and Cherington, but their moves were hard to predict. DDski operates with less nuance, blunter tools. I think it’s virtually certain the Sox are in on J.D. Martinez (and that we might...

    Do we need another starter?

    The FO is in a precarious spot regarding the 2018 rotation. A rotation of Sale/Price/Pom/Porcello/EdRod is excellent, but with Price’s two DL stints for scary arm injuries and EdRod’s recurring knee problems (and surgery), it would seem we’d need a legit major league starter as a #6 to enter the...

    Which 2018-19 FA will the Sox target?

    You probably already know that the 2018-19 free agent class is going to be historic. There's no doubt some teams already began lining up their payrolls to prepare for it, and you could argue that the Price and Hanley signings and the Kimbrel trade each reflected that. It's still two years away...
