    The Fenway Park Experience

    Interesting that in a new Fenway they didn't consider (or if they did, they rejected) seats on the Monster.

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    Snell: 2 years/$62 million ERod: 4 years/$80 million As incredibly frustrating as this offseason has been for Boston fans, it's also been fascinating watching the market develop and try to understand where it's going to land, especially for starting pitchers. Have to think ERod is feeling...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    The team has spent a ridiculous amount on payroll for what likely will be three consecutive last-place finishes. This is probably what's causing John Henry's head to explode -- they could have spent $100 million less each year and still finished last.

    Offseason rumors

    Also: There are 8.1 billion people on the planet, and only 780 are good enough to play major league baseball.

    Offseason rumors

    Admittedly, I'm a bit of a Sean McAdam fanboy, but I didn't take it that way. I think it's more like, WTF is the FO being so secretive about something so inconsequential? It's relevant and semi-newsy because it fits into a larger pattern of either objectively bad or simply odd PR behavior by the...

    How to Add a Starting Pitcher

    This is the obvious route to take, unless the deal is approaching Xander-like craziness. Yes, Montgomery's 2024 might be "wasted" in the sense that we may not be truly competing for the division, but Montgomery would be helping beyond this year. It's just money, no prospects, and with the...

    Red Sox (WEEI) looking for a new Play by Play/Analyst Announcer

    Yeah, I love Sean, too, but I agree that comment was a little aggressive. “Stain that can never be erased” is pretty much Jackie Robinson and nothing else. The Mookie situation, not mailing Fisk’s contract, letting Fred Lynn go, etc. -- these are all very bad baseball choices, but they‘re not...

    McAdam: “Full Throttle” may mean business as usual

    I’m not totally following you — are you saying McAdam was being click-baity? I didn't read that in his piece. To me, it was more of an op-ed than a news story, and the background source was the only one cited. I trust McAdam that the source’s sentiment represented enough of McAdam’s own and/or...

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    Well, this has been 10 pages of fun.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    Yeah, but it was Tomase.

    Not our Star Blazer: Yamamoto signs with the Dodgers for $325 million, 12 years

    One thing that's interesting to me is how Breslow approaches and frames the discussion with Yamamoto, especially since Breslow has not previously been involved at this level in these types of negotiations. I think there was some reporting that when Breslow was with the Cubs, he had some...
