    Red Sox acquire right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from TB for cash considerations

    Has there been confirmation this is a minor league deal with the ability to option?

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    You believe that trading Chris Sale and saving 8mm AAV followed by signing Giolito to 19mm AAV qualifies as a large chunk of money? Let's just agree to disagree there.

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    "Other than starting pitching" might be the single craziest qualifier I've read on this board. This team is one injury away from the Cooper Criswell experience. We are one injury away and one underperformer away from Chase Anderson. So yea, other than starting pitching...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Bingo. No one wants to believe it. There is no evidence, zero, that the Red Sox were serious in free agency. They were completely unserious.

    Revised contract predictions for Snell and Montgomery

    Because there are two outcomes…. 1) the team is actually good and makes the playoffs and like… isn’t that the point? Or 2) you sell pieces at the deadline and acquire more player capital for what was just money. There hasn’t been one single justification for the lack of spending in the 4...

    Revised contract predictions for Snell and Montgomery

    1 year 25mm with a second year that vest with 10 starts. It might be the most reasonable contract a good starting pitcher has signed the last several seasons. Can we finally fire up the off season in review thread and torch this free agency? Good players signing short short term deals and...

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

    "Under no investigation" might be the most insane and damning thing I've read. I have no idea how this played out. And it doesn't seem like anyone in the public does either. There simply must be an investigation. How could there not be?

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    Signing good to great (Snell) players on what seem like very reasonable contracts? View: https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1769902041193681027?s=46

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    I’ve thought about this overnight but the thought Snell signed for a 2 year deal with a team other than the Boston Red Sox completely sucks. He signed for 25mm more than Lucas Giolito. When we go back and look at these guys went for… there was a very real path to adding real talent on short...

    Remaining Free Agent Speculation and Signings (Trades, too)

    The Giants always made the most sense. Boy, this is as a pretty nice year to add talent via FA at some pretty unbelievable reasonable deals. Frustrating the Red Sox have more or less not been involved.

    2024 Rotation and Bullpen (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Hard to see anything other than this in my mind. And you know, it’s compelling because if one of Houck or Whitlock proves they can start, coupled with the Giolito UCL brace, you are all of a sudden going into 2025 with Bello, Kutter, Giolito and Houck/Whitlock. That’s not a bad spot if things...

    The Newest Vaughn

    Yea, we’ve said this a lot, but because Vaughn came from outside of the system people are really underestimating the ceiling. It’s very very high. He’s much closer to Casas than Valdez when it comes to potential. I do think it would be very valuable to see Valdez for a few week. If his...

    View: https://twitter.com/redsoxstats/status/1768640132356186133?s=46 I think this is the most concise description of my thoughts in the last 6 months. It’s perfect.

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    Backwards looking like this is rarely indicative on good or bad decision making., What they paid for Soto is irrelevant to the moves they made involving him since.

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    Yea. And really... Parlaying 1 year of Juan Soto into 2 years of Dylan Cease (who is being underrated due to his ERA last year that was artificially inflated) and 2 years of Michael King is pretty awesome stuff.
