    What does 2023 look like?

    Ohtani gives us 2 players for the price of 1! we are still ok if either his hittIng or pitching falls off. I doubt it will be both.

    Devers : No talks after season begins (Speier report)

    I wasn’t suggesting that they have the same physics but rather a fear that as he ages he will not be as fit. This is not based on any scientific study but a gut feeling by looking at him.

    Devers : No talks after season begins (Speier report)

    Some people think that the future of the franchise hinges on signing Raffy no matter what the cost. Obviously he’s a great offensive player,but he reminds me a lot of the Panda and I fear that is where he will end up 5 years down the road. To me the question is how much do we want to pay for...

    Let’s sign a starting pitcher!

    I am all for signing Eovaldi for 2-3 years at $12,0000 per year. Whens he’s good he’s very good. Especially against the Yankees.

    One of two choices: Blow it up or build it back up?

    Agreed. I want to watch games that are, meaningful. Even though we finished last in mid July there was a good chance we could be at least a playoff team. I want a team that I will be excited to watch all season. After all management is telling us they want to be competitive every single year...

    Should the Red Sox sign Dansby Swanson?

    He was never my 1st choice and he’s probably going to cost more than we could have signed Xander for 3 months ago, but I think he’s the real deal and would bea major first step in making us relevant. We are where we are and have to deal with what is and not what could have been. sign him!

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    My lack of faith stems from the fact that they have constantly made statements that they were in the process of finalizing major acquisitions , would add 7-9 new players and intended to be contenders in 2023. So far there is no evidence that this is happening. they did acquire a potential right...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    what would be fun is discussing the free agent and trade possibilities that will get us there. Its not fun to rehash what could or should have happened last week or last year. Thank positive until there is no reason to.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Maybe we should wait until the season starts and the smoke settles before determining that Bloom has decimated the team. I hope he is just as aware of where we stand today and has a plan to make us a contender. I don’t think the plan is for us to be a joke.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    So far it appears that management has outright lied to us or else has no concept as to what the market is. I hope it’s the latter and will reevaluate their position. Unfortunately what’s done is done and now the RedSox have to spend a lot more than they estimated to make the team competitive...

    Poll: Grade the Xander to San Diego Contract

    No question but that the price of poker is up. Way up. If you want to play you have to pay. For the most part teams that are constantly in the hunt have at least4 or 5 players earning anywhere from $20-30 million per year. You can argue all you want that these long term contracts are “wasting...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I would like to believe that Bloom was serious when he said we will be be competitive every year, and Kennedy spoke with knowledge when he said lots will be happening very soon. What the fans want is a team that will be fun to root for and capable at a minimum of making the playoffs. While I...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I have no idea what other moves they will make.What I Said was that I would be very disappointed if they didn’t make some major moves. I don’t have a time table as to if or when that could happen.

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Maybe I was not articulate enough. My point was that last year the team that finished last had both Bogarts and Devers and while losing either or both would make us worse ,keeping them is where we were. I don’t how you got the impression that I in anyway suggested that resigning them was the...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I don’t know about anyone else but I will be greatly disappointed if the team does not make some big time moves to be a contender in ‘23. signing up Bogart and Devers is a start but that is just status quo! we need hitting and pitching to contend and if they are serious they need to forget...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I for one would like to give Bloom the benefit of the doubt and not jump to conclusions until we see where we end up assuming ownership has truly given him the green light to fix this team. As I have said before I believe that we have to go the extra mile to sign Xander for several reasons...
