    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    $24 mil added to annual payroll to maybe flip at the deadline feels very Pittsburgh Piratey.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    What kind of successful rebuild includes spending a boatload of money on a 29 yr old who’s never played in MLB and 2 old (35, 36) relievers??? These seem like moves a team already in the mix would make to bolster the pen and take a flyer on Yoshida. Not sure how any of the 3 help us long term...

    Red Sox in season discussion

    I get your point, but respectfully, it isn’t relevant. He’s wondering when his club is going to replace top level talent (ie difference makers) with same level players. They obviously have voids all over the diamond that could use upgrading. And players “say” these kind of things all the time...

    Its late. I read it as an opt-out after 2 years, not after each of the first two years. ‍Face meet palm.

    If people believe Mayer is the long term answer, then this type of contract would have been perfect. 2 years of Correa roles into your top prospect. If he’s still not ready and Correa is crushing, seal another deal or shop elsewhere. It would have been great to get a stud player on a...

    Red Sox sign Rich Hill to a one year deal

    I’m talking long term…not this off-season. The market isn’t lowering. $30 mil/year is the new $20mil. At some point they are going to need to open the checkbook. Maybe they don’t value any of this year’s crop to make a splash, but at some point they shouldn’t be afraid to spend like the top 4-5...

    Red Sox sign Rich Hill to a one year deal

    Wacha, Paxton and now Hill, so for some reason it seems Chaim is stuck in the 2015-2017 era. Really hoping he’s got some sort of fountain of youth hidden in the green monster, because these seem like some desperate lottery ticket signings. The Sox are being uber frugal, and it’s not like the...

    Fat guy here. Can confirm. I love Raffy. He’s terrific. But he started out with that baby fat body when he was called up, and he’s still got the chunk. It’s not a bad thing. It does however put him in the category of player that you don’t want to hand out 8-10 year contracts to. He’s been great...

    Alex Verdugo, new Red Sox star!

    I know I post here less often less often than the planet gets the treat of a super blood wolf moon, but I’m posting now because this is flat out, unequivocally, 100% wrong. No matter how right you want it to be, it’s wrong. We don’t even need to get Matlock on the case. It’d be a 6 minute...
