    Heinz Ketchup is returning to Fenway

    Real Ketchup is the best news of the offseason I'm shocked that this gem hasn't made it to the thread. I cackled when I saw it. Raise it!

    Offseason rumors

    How to fix the offseason this week: Trade Duran to the Padres for Snelling, Lesko or Thorpe Sign Duvall for 1 year at like 8 mil Trade Jansen to Dodgers for pitching depth and cash Sign Montgomery for 5/140 with an opt out after 3 years This solves your roster problems now and gives you the...

    Yea, now I'm sad. Thanks a lot, Yaz! haha

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    Completely fair, however the difference between Verdugo and Gilbert's arbitration cost will be around 4.3 mil according to Matt Swartz. I don't know where they will find another high contact gold glove caliber right fielder at that price.

    What does Red Sox starting pitching look like in 2024?

    I think the Mariners' recent moves could be setting up a very good match for the Sox to make a deal for one of their starters. They just traded Kelenic/Suarez and will let Teoscar walk because they want to be more contact focused on their offense. It also doesn't sound like they have a lot of...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I've been dreaming of Edward Cabrera since these rumors started up. I have no problem sending Rafaella and Matthew Lugo for Cabrera and Miguel Rojas. I would also throw in Dalbec or Duran. It would make sense for them to give Dalbec a look. I would be fascinated to see how far off that deal...

    What does 2023 look like?

    It would be close. Mayer may need a chunk of the 2025 season after Adames becomes a FA but you figure that out when it happens. The 3 players coming back will just about equal how much Xander cost this past year. Your Outfield situation is set for 2023, your SS is set for 2 more years and you...

    What does 2023 look like?

    I would hope it wouldn't take Yorke to get the deal done, but I know how valuable Adames is. I did like that Suter was from Harvard. Reminded me a bit of Craig Breslow and even a guy who could come back to coach in the future. If the deal only takes Houck, Duran, Seabold or Winckowski then...

    What does 2023 look like?

    I'm very much preparing myself for Xander to go to Philly in the next couple of weeks and the FO to continue to say how they tried their hardest to retain Xander blah blah blah. I've been trying to explore what a SS replacement could look like in trade if Bloom doesn't go get one of the...

    Red Sox sign James Paxton (old thread)

    According to Spotrac, Sale has a player opt out after the 2022 season.

    Red Sox sign James Paxton (old thread)

    This doesn't preclude another starting pitcher acquisition. I think it's obvious that this isn't the E-Rod replacement. This is Eovaldi/Sale insurance for 2023-2024 with a "mid season acquisition" boost to the staff that they don't need to worry about acquiring for 2022. Best case scenario-...

    The 2022 Rotation

    Loved reading through this thread. I've been thinking about the rotation all morning and the current FA class. With next year's FA class looking significantly weaker and knowing that Eovaldi will be gone after 2022 and don't forget Sale's opt out, I think paying up now for a clear #2-#3 starter...

    Who should start for this team in 2021?

    Eddie Rosario placed on waivers. Anyone interested in him? He'll be 10-12 mil in his last year of arb. I feel like Cora would be a good influence on him and he's a very consistent bat. I've been reading that Benny probably can't be more than a below average to average CF at this stage but if he...

    Let's get crazy (risky acquisitions and offseason plans)

    I'm convinced that Theo wants to move Schwarber. With Happ's ability to play outfield or anywhere for that matter and Schwarber's ability to well...not do that. An AL team would love his bat as a DH. Imagine Bradley playing next to Heyward in an outfield. You know Theo dreams about it.

    Let's get crazy (risky acquisitions and offseason plans)

    I saw a report or two from secondary/tertiary news sources about the Theo brain trust being very interested in Andrew Benintendi. It makes all the sense in the world seeing that they wanted him 9th in the 2015 draft but had to "settle on" Happ instead. Benintendi is my favorite player currently...

    Who's on Third? I don't know

    When I said he was brought up once, I was referencing the post on page 3. I agree he is a huge injury risk but if Pedroia's injury worsens, Marrero's only offense in the next 2-3 weeks are the two home runs he hit last night and Lowrie is still healthy then I'd check in on what Beane would want...

    Who's on Third? I don't know

    I'm really surprised that the guy I want has only been mentioned once on this thread. Jed Lowrie could be a great fit. He knows Boston well, is on his last year of his contract being owed about 5.5 mil if he was traded today including his 1 mil buyout next year. Beane would be happy to sell...

    The off-season

    I feel like you could get him for 1 year at 10 mil. I don't think you need to stretch to 2 years in order to get the 38 year old DH. I think he gets 12 mil max. Napoli is a guy who probably gets 2 years and a couple mil more than Holliday. More like 2 years 24-26 mil

    The off-season

    Yea this is a head scratcher for me. I always thought the range of a 1 year deal for him would be 16-18 mil and for him to get the bottom of that is strange. Maybe he preferred to play for Houston that he left a little money on the table. Now the Red Sox have to bid against Yankees, Blue Jays...

    Farrell's new bench coach is...

    I mentioned how Alex Cora would be a great pick for bench coach a few days ago in the thread about Varitek's contract being extended. I've been wanting him in our dugout for a few years and if we're to hire a bench coach then why not hire outside to get an additional piece of coaching talent for...
