    Baseball Hall of Fame-Classic Era Nominations

    Posnanski wrote a fantastic article about some of the bullshit Allen had to deal with in Philadelphia. Calling it a "tough place" is an understatement. The poor guy had to wear a batting helmet when fielding because fans were throwing batteries at him for Christ sake. And he still managed to put...

    2025 HoF Ballot

    If he had won the Cy Young Award in 2005, he'd be in the Hall of Fame. Three awards ties him with Koufax, Seaver, Palmer, Pedro, Kershaw, Scherzer, and Verlander. The fact that he would have done it in consecutive years only strengthens his case. He also had a shot in '08 (led the league with a...

    Your catchall JOHN HENRY AND THE SOX ARE SOOOO CHEAP!!! thread

    Thanks, Mo. I agree - every single thread getting overtaken by the same few posters insisting that Boston is cheap is getting really tired. I have my gripes with the team, don't get me wrong, but we were #6 in team payroll as recently as 2022, #1 just 5 years ago, and basically top 3 for the...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    I don't pretend to have an in-depth understanding of how major league contract negotiations work, but does anyone really think that Boras and/or the Sox would even bother setting up this meeting if there wasn't a shared understanding of what Soto is seeking and what the Sox are willing to offer...

    Maybe they're trading Mayer?

    Hooking Crochet? Rumors of Red Sox "right in the thick of" trying to trade for him

    Is anyone else a little concerned about how he'll profile at Fenway? From what I can see, he's pretty firmly a flyball pitcher, and 9% of hits he's allowed are barrels (league average is 7%). Now, granted, he does miss a hell of a lot of bats, but when he doesn't it seems to be pretty loud...

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    I think we're really underselling Soto here. The guy is an absolute generational talent. I mean christ, he just turned 26 last week. Through his age-25 season, he's already: 2nd all-time in BB% (only Ted Williams is better). 3rd all-time in WPA (only Trout and Pujols are better). 6th all-time...

    Trading Casas seems like such an unforced error.

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    29 other teams had the same assessment of Snell and Montgomery, and it turned out to be correct as neither of them were very good this year. Our best prospects are also on the cusp of promotion, which wasn't the case a year or two ago.

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    I wouldn't be too upset about trading Mayer - I think he's the most expendable one from the ATM group - but I just think we could do better than Castillo.

    The Conductor: who should Breslow haul to Boston this winter?

    I'd argue that Houck already is that guy, in that he was a top-30 pitcher in baseball in most statistical categories this past season.

    NLDS Padres vs. Dodgers

    The Padres only lost consecutive games 3 times after the All Star Break. Then this happens.
