    Red Sox Sign CJ Cron

    This is exactly my concern = "organizational depth" is a benefit, but as they add these guys to the WooSox, and Sea Dogs, it could be blocking someone else. They could be trading some guys soon - note that they've been showcasing Blaze Jordan at first as well. I also have felt, since Winter...

    Savannah Bananas: baseball fun??

    Season ticket holders usually are given a pre-sale (or even a set-aside sale) opportunity for nearly every event - concerts, other sports, and so forth - with VERY FEW exceptions. The only exceptions were the NHL Winter Classic events, and we were IMMEDIATELY and pro-actively informed that it...

    Offseason rumors

    "He also says that "everything (he's) been told is that this isn't the new reality for the Red Sox, that there will come a time when they're ready to spend again."" Isn't that time NOW?

    Savannah Bananas: baseball fun??

    I registered in the initial lottery, and received a lottery verification. There is ALSO going to be a season ticket holder pre-sale, but you had to register in advance a couple weeks back.

    Offseason rumors

    according to Sportrack - the Sox payroll is around 159M. That gives them around $61 million to play with, even after assuming around $10 million in arb-eligible salary increases. If this is accurate --- they can pay Monty without breathing on the salary tax limit...

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

    Do you know how many baseball podcasts are out there from non-credentialed bloggers? Hell, even on commercial radio, there are a lot of stinkpot AM stations running sports-related bird droppings. ("bird droppings" = satellite syndicated radio of a low quality, filler material) ALTHOUGH - The...

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

    Audacy stock March 2021 = $182 a share. Today = 19 cents a share. The entire industry over-estimated its future. When de-regulation began and ownership became relatively unrestricted, investors believed that "Hell, yeah you can't invent more spectrum.... buy it up! buy it up!" Well -...

    Craig Breslow: Red Sox CBO

    Tuesday afternoon Mr. Breslow faces the fans (STH call). Should be good. I had no questions for him.

    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    No, I said it in other forums the day Bloom was fired. But knowing the facts behind Hazen, it was a non-starter.

    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    re : Mike Hazen The D'backs said, all along, that Mike is NOT available, and probably wouldn't release him. He was also offered an extension there. He also has a playoff team. The D'backs fan base isn't calling for his head. AND.... Finally .... He is a widower - with four teenage sons he...

    Tim Wakefield celebration / memorial ...

    I agree but because Orsillo was the broadcast / TV guy when Wake was here, it's important that he's invited.

    Tim Wakefield celebration / memorial ...

    During today's press conference, Sam Kennedy mentioned.that the Sox may have some type of life celebration for Time Wakefield. One person who SHOULD be invited to participate, and included, is Don Orsillo. No, they can't go back and un-do the gaffe that they made on the Jerry Remy tribute but...

    So....who is the new GM/head of baseball ops?

    Hazen might not be available. The DBacks might not want to let him go -- AND - I'm just guessing, Hazen's personal life may keep him in Arizona. He is a widower - his wife passed away, to cancer, in August of last year. He has four teenage sons in school out there. I would doubt he'd yank...
