    How long will Chaim last?

    Completely agree, but we've seen time and again that this ownership group hires a particular Head of Baseball Ops for a particular reason (i.e. Dombrowski to bring in high-priced talent and get them back to contention, Bloom to cut costs) but then acts in a reactionary fashion to scapegoat...

    Sox acquire Eric Hosmer

    Does someone have a list of all the guys that are under contract or will need to be placed on the 40-man come November/December? I guess the impending free agents are also question marks obviously vis-a-vis whether they are signed. Related question - if someone gets a QO, but they haven't...

    Celtics trade Josh Richardson, Romeo Langford and a 1st round pick to Spurs for Derrick White

    He hasn't played yet... Richardson has also only played a very small handful of minutes in a few games. Seems clear a) that Pop really wants to figure out what he has in Vassell, Johnson, etc., and b) that they probably don't mind losing down the stretch this year...

    RIP MikeF

    Thanks, SS. I had landed there this morning, but there are no posts older than 2014 within the 10 pages of results that come up, and it doesn't look like any spring training reports are on there. Mike may have stopped doing it before then. Regardless, I remember the reports fondly, and am so...

    RIP MikeF

    Very sorry to hear of his loss - I too greatly admired MikeF's spring training posts and looked forward to reading them every day for many a February and March. Part of what truly made this board and community an incredible gem. I just tried to take a quick search to see if I could discover...

    Celtics hire Ime Udoka as HC

    For all the reasons others have said, it's a grand slam home run. Can't wait to see Udoka put his stamp on the team.

    2019 Rockets: China Hates Us

    Don't disagree that the NBA's response has been very disappointing, but I think the Sterling affair was a pretty big test and Silver handled it brilliantly. This is a tough situation because you can be sure that the majority of owners at large are fearing huge economic consequences and putting...

    2019 Pats: Roster Projection 2.0

    I think the Patriots August rosters over the last decade have often had at least 2 or 3 guys who were cut but then went on to become regular contributors elsewhere. Larsen is a good example. Darius Butler was cut in 2010 and later became a pretty nice player for the Colts (with a stop with the...

    How many regular season games will the Celtics win in 2019-2020?

    Yes. For what it's worth, I think the Celtics are gonna win between 48 and 58 games. I'll say 56-26, with a trip to the Eastern Conference Finals. I think they're gonna be good, and there's a good chance they make a move at the deadline for a big. But in the interim (and going forward for...

    Olynyk is under contract for at least one more year in Miami, with a player option at $12M or so for 2020-21. He signed a four-year, 50M deal in 2017.
