    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    I don't know what's worse for the sport: If there is serious smoke behind Ohtani actually being involved (and to me, there seems to be) and the MLB does nothing, as they did with the Astros, or if he actually did something and he faces real repercussions. Gambling is a fucking blight and...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Yes. I appreciate what he did with the team in the 2000s. I think something is fundamentally wrong with how they operate though. Or maybe it's the Boston ecopshere. I don't think it's normal to have an affluent and devoted fan base who is guaranteed to pay high prices and nearly sell out every...

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    this was really one of the all time bad signings even if he somehow put up a 4.5 era. Team can't get out of its own way.

    What if you could change one thing - Red Sox edition

    I thought about posting that too. I hated that Trey Ball pick so much when they made it. Same thing as the Casey Kelly pick from a few years before it.

    What If you could change One (little?) thing.

    so many. But healthy KG leads to at least one more title, if not a few.

    What if you could change one thing - Red Sox edition

    Aside from being bitter about ownerships refusal to extend young talent over the last decade Do what they can to just keep Tito. Chicken and Beer wasn't his fault. Don't run him out of town. Same with Tito, though he's probably leaving at some point either way. Same with Orsillo. For player...

    Dugger? I don't even know her!

    I'm indifferent. I hated him as a draft pick. He's played reasonably well here. But he won't be worth the next contract. But, they have money to spend and need players. I'd be fine with a 4 year deal at like 15m a year or something. But he probably doesn't take it. I don't think he's good...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    I'm open minded but the only real thing I don't want is Alt. If they're determined to use a high pick on an OT in an OT heavy draft, trade down to do so. If we know today that Alt can be Joe Thomas, I'm still not sure I'd take him at 3. This assumes the scouts are okay with the quarterbacks...

    A-Rod's Legacy

    My theory on Arod is that despite his talent, he was a major leaguer at 17 or 18 or whatever, and never had a chance to really grow up, so he did a bunch of stupid shit because he never had anyone tell him he's an idiot. The PEDS are the easy target, but Sox fans will never forget the Bronson...

    HOF Class of 2024

    It doesn't really matter if he's better. He's a 0 all pro guy who is 53rd on prefs HoF tracker. He's basically the Rod or Jimmy Smith or AJ Green, but of now. All of those guys were fine players but not Hall of Famers.

    HOF Class of 2024

    I really don't think Evans is a hall of famer at all. He was never a top 5 WR in the league. He's basically Frank Gore. Look at his career comparables -- these guys aren't Hall of Famers:

    2023 Offseason MLB News/Rumors Thread

    First thought is that's a fuckload of money for a guy that doesn't seem to project aging especially gracefully. Second thought is that wow, even the Royals, arguably the most impoverished franchise in the league, can extend guys past their arb years. Seemingly every team can. Except the Red Sox.
