    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I would say that my issue isn't operating as if economics don't matter. They certainly due and actions do have consequences, like losses in draft picks etc. when you get too crazy. I don't think anyone is advocating for or wants the penalties the Mets faced. But we also have to understand and...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I said you want an owner to be all-in a Mark Cuban-type. Mark is very engaged with his fans and team. From what I know of him, he is also not an embarrassment to his fans or team. So I don't think he was a bad example to bring forth as my idealistic owner. Clearly you don't like the...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I don't think it is unreasonable as a fan to want the teams owner to be all-in when you speaking about your favorite team. I personally am very happy with what John Henry has done for the team during his tenure. However, it certainly does appear that he has lost some of the go for it nature he...

    The Hitting - Coaches and Players

    I love this thread idea RR. Thanks for starting it. My thoughts are the coaches cannot turn a terrible hitter into a prime Manny Ramirez. No amount of coaching will increase the amount of god given talent a player has. But they sure can help with situational hitting I would think. There...

    Offseason rumors

    And maybe he isn't healthy. We certainly don't know, but it does really seem like a missed opportunity to have a competent back up for 1B/3B. I mean Casas will need days off as will Devers... We don't have a lot of options to fill in on those days.

    Offseason rumors

    Now that is a deal we could have signed. I am not the biggest Urshela fan, but he fit the needs of our team and clearly wasn't expensive. To me this means that the Front Office must be confident in what they have even if what they have includes Dalbec...

    Red Sox to be 1st MLB featured on Netflix series

    I can only see this as a positive. Bringing more eyes to the team and hopefully more attention to the teams short comings, which will make the front office hopefully want to improve. Could be wrong. But having a positive outlook today.

    How much would you pay to “own” the Red Sox?

    As a stock holder you do vote for the board of directors and you can attend shareholders meetings. However that's where it ends. You have basically no control.

    How much would you pay to “own” the Red Sox?

    As a packer shareholder, you can sign me up for that model... if the ask is low enough, I'd pay yearly... but honestly, it's never gonna happen.

    We really need a rumor.....

    Offseason rumors

    I think that the front office was being genuine when they stated that we don't line up with any of the free agents... but if the free agent's ask comes down... that certainly could change how we line up... I mean it doesn't mean we should be putting a Montgomery name plate on a locker, but damn...

    Offseason rumors

    While I agree that this is mainly Heyman carrying water for Boras... I can definitely see a scenario where the Red Sox would be interested... just have to have the price (mainly in years) drop enough IMO
