    Thank you David Price

    It's really telling about David Price that his "Thank you" thread hasn't made it to a second page yet.

    Kevin Pillar to Sox for 1 year, 4.25 million

    If we end up as sellers and Pillar has turned back the clock enough that we trade him, we have an expensive (for this last year only) AAAA+ outfielder stuck in AAA in Rusney Castillo. With no offense to Rusney, I hope we get stuck with winning.

    Alex Verdugo - on-field discussion thread

    I'd bet he was off the table because Friedman had his eyes on Betts, not for any other reason. Also called Sam Travis. Also called Mike Greenwell. Also called Kevin Pillar. Maybe Rusney Castillo if the season has obviously gone south until 2021.

    Kevin Pillar to Sox for 1 year, 4.25 million

    Painfully true. While he's off the roster, he has no number. If he stays off the roster, he never needs a number.

    Kevin Pillar to Sox for 1 year, 4.25 million

    Does this put the nails in the coffin of a possible Brockstar reunion, or was that already a foregone conclusion?

    Alex Verdugo, new Red Sox star!

    Agreed, hence why I specified "primary player return" in the post. I think the "$" is the true face of every franchise, unfortunately.

    Alex Verdugo, new Red Sox star!

    I'm leaning towards being in a bad place, making bad decisions, with alcohol involved. That he hasn't been openly apologetic and outward in what he's learned from the incident says "scumbag" to me. It also says "shut up to avoid incriminating yourself further". Hopefully, I'm wrong. His...

    Thank you David Price

    Waxing bad poetic: Thank you, David Price. I loved hating you as a Ray, as a Tiger and a Jay. When you joined the club, I said some terse choice words small children shouldn't say. Then 2018 came around and all those feelings went (mostly) away. Now you're off to bluer pastures with your...

    Thank you Mookie Betts

    Eck's "It's time to party!" rings through the ears of my mind when I think of this play. On one hand, I feel like I just sent my kid off to college, and to a school I don't even like. I am definitely on the bandwagon of Pedro --> Mookie --> everyone else (no offense, Big Papi!). Mookie was...

    Who was the most disliked Red Sox player acquisition ever? AT THE TIME OF ACQUISITION

    Mostly in order: Pretty much every former Yankee who ever joined the Sox. Carl Crawford and Pablo Sandoval - I had a strong feeling we overpaid for both these guys. Marc Sullivan - should never have donned a major league uniform irrespective of his relationship to management. Nick Esasky and...

    Tickets go on sale Friday: How excited are you about the 2020 Red Sox?

    I always look forward to baseball. I voted a bit more than 2019 because I think literally anything could happen this year. So many unknowns. Going into last year, I felt like there was no way the 2018 magic was going to stick around. I was optimistic about everything but our pitching at the...

    Alex Cora fired

    AC has the 5th best winning percentage (0.593 regular season) in RS managerial history behind Jake Stahl, Joe McCarthy, Steve O'Neill, and Bill Carrigan. If he never returns to managing in the future, we'll always have 2018, but there's definitely a "what if" sentiment lingering with his...

    Roenis Elias traded to SEA (for PTBNL OR $)

    I've been chewing on the idea of why DD traded Elias when he did, and I'm coming up empty. WEEI shared this: http://www.weei.com/blogs/rob-bradford/reason-why-red-sox-traded-roenis-elias I don't see how this answers questions. Really, it only adds more questions... Why is vacating a spot on...

    Mookie Betts appreciation thread

    I dub his style of play... Mookie Ball. It celebrates his play and eradicates past demons at the same time. Truly, if he didn't know he could go oppo as well as he did last night, this could be a very special year!

    Hey, @Reverend. Thank you for sharing the link. Somehow I'd never read this article before today, and am glad to have corrected that error today.

    I messed up the Game Thread-starting protocol for 4/7. 100% my bad, but now I know. If we lose, I'll take the blame on the chin. Go Sox!!

    The Starting Rotation's Start

    Time will tell. To take the late, great Dennis Green out of context, but to put the Rays/Marlins offenses in context - they are who we thought they were, but, with the exception of the 8th on OD, we didn't let them off the hook.

    4/5/18 MiLB Gameday: What is old is New Again

    As someone relatively new to this board but not to looking toward the future of this team, I will definitely be appreciating the intel, speculation, wonderment, and wistful prognostication that will come from these threads and posts.
