    Tanner Houck 2024

    Houck in the 1st round and Cutter in the 16th from Dombrowski. Also Bello was signed that summer. So the top three pitchers currently all brought in during his regime yet they needed to bring in Bloom to “rebuild” the farm.

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    I think you are even being too kind. Norby, Beavers, Povich all also look ready to call up over there, which were guys taken 2nd to 4th. Bloom got cute and took players like Yorke and Romero early because of their slot value, and while its looks as if Anthony(despite struggling now) looks like a...

    2024 Lineup (What we actually have - no trade speculation.)

    Today’s starting lineup had a payroll of just over nine million, the minimum would have equated to around 7.5. McQuire and Rafaela were the only ones over a mill(1.5). I understand the injuries but still that’s crazy for a Red Sox team.

    The TrevorEnding Story: needs shoulder surgery, out for the year (4/9 update)

    Well he had bad inflammation going in, a big reason why there was talk about moving him to second. He was a risky signing to begin with, in a deep SS class. They however waited till the last second when he was the only one left.

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    Not sure how you took my comment as complaining about free memorabilia when I was just pointing out that the team has relied more on promotional events to sell tickets as to previous years. However when a team isn’t spending relative to their revenue I’ll admit pushing commemorative “bricks”...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    They’ve gone over eleven times in the last twenty years, but NY was really the only team to blow by it every year. We never criticized though because they always spent in terms of where their revenue fell. They were always for the most part in the past twenty years always a top five payroll...

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    This is a little off topic but I checked out the ticket office because I couldn’t believe hearing there was monster seats still available for the opening series and I noticed there was promotion for almost every single game of the season. Giving away replica jerseys, bobbleheads, whatever you...

    Offseason rumors

    Actually they gave up their 5th, 8th, and Could be wrong but I believe not just Anthony but they paid over slot for Cutter Coffey(correct name?) in the second round. I’m not sure if Bloom took one single pitcher in the top two rounds his whole time here. Not sure how he thought he could rebuild...

    Offseason rumors

    https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39726085/padres-finalizing-trade-white-sox-rhp-dylan-cease-sources-say Looks like a deal is all but done. Im guessing either Lesko or Snelling will be in the deal, Boston doesn’t have the equivalent. Additionally I really wanted Jones in the draft. Bloom...

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    Wouldn’t still be somewhat about money, as in what a team could pay out of their international signing pool? L.A. will be incurring some penalties I believe and will prob have less money going in, maybe not enough to make that much of a difference though.

    If the RS sign Montgomery are you satisfied with the off-season?

    Coming in I was hopeful they’d either sign Yamamoto or trade for a top end young starter. Seems like the lack of arms in the farm system hampered their trade market. Honestly all things considering I don’t believe Breslow did that bad of a job. He brought in a couple top twenty pitching...

    Offseason rumors

    How much money? All these reports are vague and seem to be twisting words from the original sources. Are we supposed to assume the total guaranteed amount was greater or just the annual value. Unless we know the exact dollar amount it seems difficult to assume YY preferred destination over...

    Offseason rumors

    Oh absolutely. He’s already done more to build the farm’s pitching depth then Bloom did in four seasons brining in two top twenty prospects. I just hope he doesn’t share Bloom’s draft strategies also and uses early draft capital on pitching. With each day I’m more convinced he’s handcuffed with...

    Let's Lay Off That Throttle

    Well Jensen has come out and said he was told the team that they would be in contention this year. You’d have to wonder with, Dever’s recent comments, if similar was hinted to when he signed his extension. I wouldn’t really blame them for speaking out if this were the case. We’ve heard Kennedy...

    Offseason rumors

    Was going to say they have some interesting pitching prospects. I doubt they give up Snelling or Lesko but yeah, ending up with the Yanks two best potching prospects from just recent would be fun.
