silly autocorrect. But that’s pretty funny.So you're saying this could all come down to Soto's affinity for counter-culture?

This was my exact point.In Boston, athletes are the most famous and recognizable people in the city. In NYC, Juan Soto is unlikely to be the most famous person in his building let alone block.
If anyone really wants to be left alone, NYC is the place to do it. Whether you're the guy peeing in the subway station or some movie star it is truly a place where no one notices let alone cares. There's just so much more happening in NYC at any given moment it dilutes the attention that any one thing or person receives at a given moment.
Even NY sports fans and media aren't anywhere near as intense as a place like Philly.
WOW! That's a name I haven't heard in quite alongggg time. Saw Tony Williams lifetime there. Maybe 20 people.Too bad Slugs isn't still around. That would be a natural.
Lee Morgan's final resting place. A quintessential dive.WOW! That's a name I haven't heard in quite alongggg time. Saw Tony Williams lifetime there. Maybe 20 people.
I was of a similar mind - more because I hate megadeals at low priority defensive positions, but the fact that they are real players makes it more difficult to remember that.I'm probably in the minority here regarding this, but I'd prefer that the Red Sox do not sign him.
They won 81 games last year with a starting staff that went 44-51, offense IMO is not the problem with this team, starting pitching/bullpen is, I'd prefer they sign/acquire two front line starters and some bullpen help over signing Soto.
Let theYankees or theMets break the bank for him.
Well, he got exactly what he wanted to get from you
If he posts something like that often news drops shortly after. Sale trade is a good example.Well, he got exactly what he wanted to get from you

Thank you. This side issue is so irrelevant.NYC tax is completely optional - just don’t live in NYC and the tax doesn’t apply. Top state rate (which in NY doesn’t occur until 25M+) is only ~1% higher than MA. Once you take into account duty days out of state and the like, this is just completely noise. For example, a FL resident playing for the Yankees will certainly be better off than a MA resident playing for the Sox.
Soto isn’t making any part of his decision on tax rates between NY and MA. He just isn’t.
Me too. Been too much bad news the last few years that I’ll believe it when the presser is announced.I guess I'm just too jaded. I'll believe it when I see it
Within the comments, the dude that broke the Montgomery firing 24 hours early has this too.Me too. Been too much bad news the last few years that I’ll believe it when the presser is announced.
But it’s still worth bringing to the board.
I think most of us actually agree that the offense is not "a problem", necessarily, but it also has holes and question marks. Juan Soto is, in my opinion, the ultimate #2 hitter in the game. His combination of OBP and SLG make him absolutely perfect for batting behind a guy like Duran and in front of Devers, even with all three of them being left handed.I'm probably in the minority here regarding this, but I'd prefer that the Red Sox do not sign him.

Before I get annihilated for this, this guy broke Montgomery being fired by the bruins before anyone else and also had Porzingis coming back the other night early too. This partnered with the Carrabis tweet and the flames are stoking
@RandomGuyLOL, god I hate social media so much. Even if this turns out to be true.

The starting staff going 44-51 isn't an indication that the starters are necessarily the problem.I'm probably in the minority here regarding this, but I'd prefer that the Red Sox do not sign him.

Juan Soto: "So you guys all sat down and had a chat with Schilling back in 2003? How did that work out?"An open invitation to Juan Soto to visit SoSH and converse with those of us back in 2003 who joined Curt Schilling in a private chat.
I suspect that were they to sign Soto, that would give them trade flexibility to acquire a pitcher and maybe sign a second-tier starterI'm probably in the minority here regarding this, but I'd prefer that the Red Sox do not sign him.

2024, Red Sox sign Juan Soto. 2041, the Red Sox AAA affiliate is moved back to Rhode Island.Juan Soto: "So you guys all sat down and had a chat with Schilling back in 2003? How did that work out?"
SoSH: "Great at first. But he's a pariah now. We all hate him."
Plane tracking time (ala ohtani?)Do we know where Breslow is having turkey today?
He’ll have to get in line.If this is really happening Tom Ricardo's brain is going to explode
In fairness: it is true that Schilling will never have to buy himself a beer in Boston again.Juan Soto: "So you guys all sat down and had a chat with Schilling back in 2003? How did that work out?"
