    Revised contract predictions for Snell and Montgomery

    I know the 2021 MLB Draft was held during the All Star break since I was in the audience in Denver and watched Mayer fall to the Sox.

    Movies I'd Make

    Not a movie, but I'm still waiting for Michael Schur to have a sports talk radio series in the vein of Fire Joe Morgan. I don't even care who they cast, I'd eagerly await a new episode like I was refreshing FJM every 10 mins 15 years ago. Apparently he had a Field of Dreams series in...

    Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Or, let's make some money for charity)

    I'm down for this - limited to a single no hitter. I'll also double it to $200 if the no hitter includes a pitch clock strikeout against the Sox opponent.

    What does 2023 look like?

    Petriello lists him as one of the top guys to benefit for the shift ban. Not a massive benefit but some potential. Andrew McCutchen (free agent OF) +8 potential hits gained / 49% shift rate This might have been a one-year fluke. From 2019-21, McCutchen actually had a higher BABIP against the...

    Nick Pivetta - Bad, Average, or Pretty, Pretty, Pretty Good?

    Seemed to be good enough for those teams. Pivetta wasn't the problem with the 2022 Sox nor would he be for other contending teams.

    X Leaves the Spot for San Diego: 11 years, $280M

    Why can't it be both? He was a priority going into the offseason. And then when the Turner deal dropped it was probably clear they were out, especially with the Giants/Dodgers/Cubs (and apparently the Padres) still out there. I think it's more likely the positive posturing yesterday was to help...

    X Leaves the Spot for San Diego: 11 years, $280M

    Or they read the market to clearly be way out of line of where they were willing to go for Xander.

    X Leaves the Spot for San Diego: 11 years, $280M

    I think this is spot on. I'd even go a bit further and say Preller's offer was lower when FSG saw it. They basically said they were out and would play the confidence card so Boras could use that to milk every dollar out of SD for Xander. Sure it helps to drive up the market for Correa and...

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    You can't build a rotation at the beginning of a season to anticipate 5-6 SP out at the same time because you can't sign most SPs (at least with FSF11's requirements) without a guaranteed spot in the rotation. In these cases, you have to rely on your AAA/AAAA depth to withstand the injuries. I...

    NESN to offer standalone streaming service for games (IN MARKET)

    I really don't think ~$1 per game is remotely unreasonable, let alone insane. Even without the ticket incentive. YMMV, I guess.

    Red Sox in season discussion

    Signing both Schwarber and Suzuki would increase the payroll by nearly $37 million and take it about $17 million over the luxury tax threshold this year. Next year we have to replace CF, SS, C, and multiple SP and RP. I left DH out because I assume that's where you would slide Schwarber in your...

    Time-killing Challenge: HOF Peak Team v. the Bright Shiners Peak-ish Team

    Slight point of order - Nomar didn't play in 1995, those are the figures from his 1999 season but the WAR is off (6.3 fWAR (his 4th highest season) or 6.6 bWAR (tied for 4th highest season)). 2000 was definitely his best season by WAR regardless of the source (7.6 fWAR, 7.4 bWAR). I think...
