    Roki Sasaki to sign with Dodgers

    Big fucking surprise. I hope he sucks.

    Red Sox agree to terms with Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Kutter Crawford for 2025 (and Jarren Duran with a 2026 club option --1/17 update)

    Updated the thread for Duran, also

    Red Sox agree to terms with Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Kutter Crawford for 2025 (and Jarren Duran with a 2026 club option --1/17 update)

    Yeah, we already have him for his age 28, 29, 30, and 31 seasons - and then he's a free agent. He's a guy you evaluate in 2028-2029, and then maybe extend him three more years if he fits with where the team is at the time. Or maybe you trade him after his age 30 season.

    Red Sox agree to terms with Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Kutter Crawford for 2025 (and Jarren Duran with a 2026 club option --1/17 update)

    I like this for the Red Sox - but I'm confused as to why Duran would agree to it. Worst case was, he loses arbitration, and gets $3.5m. Then maybe he has another strong season in 2025, and gets upwards of $12-20M in 2026. Or he's terrible/injured/cooked and gets non-tendered. Now the worst...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    Well, according to MLB, April has been cancelled. At least for the Red Sox. https://www.mlb.com/redsox/schedule/2025/fullseason?msockid=01cf87f3d5996392308f9498d43362da @The Gray Eagle chose terror, and terror won. Edit, because it seems to work now... the schedule was showing a few games in...

    Much like Newman, the Sox are not “Ready to deliver”– The 2025 Offseason News (& rumors?) Thread

    Red Sox finally made a big splash and signed a certain starting pitcher with the initials “RS”. Absolutely shocked he’s not a Dodger.

    Roki Sasaki to be posted this winter

    People already know, but I'll post it again anyway. View: https://www.twitter.com/tylermilliken_/status/1878889278874497385

    Is this a playoff team?

    If all of these projections come true, I think the Red Sox are closer to 100 wins, and I might take the over.

    Is this a playoff team?

    With the current offense, I think a lot of things need to go right - and those things aren't exactly near certainties. -Two of Campbell/Anthony/Grissom need to be ready to be impact players at the MLB level. - Story healthy and his bat not a total black hole. - Casas healthy and looking more...

    Sox to pursue early extensions with the big 3

    I'd guess the Wander Franco contract (*ducks*) is the baseline for these guys? He got $182M over 11 years, with an option for good behavior.

    Red Sox hook Crochet for Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez

    Offering Crochet 5/$90 right now reminds me a little bit of the 4/$70 offer to Lester. Considering the state of the market right now, it's probably a much worse offer. Granted, Lester was much more proven at that point in his career, but it's also 11 years later, and Crochet is younger with more...

    Red Sox agree to terms with Garrett Crochet, Tanner Houck, and Kutter Crawford for 2025 (and Jarren Duran with a 2026 club option --1/17 update)

    They couldn't close a $500,000 gap? For a player who just had a MVP-type season? I get that we're probably not extending him, and are keeping him for another two years and then dealing him, or losing him as a free agent - but it's not like Duran wanted $6M and the Sox were offering $3M.

    Alex Bregman and Adding a Bat

    Breslow: “We would like to be aggressive in our pursuit of Alex Bregman. Of course, you are aware, the board of directors is currently under indictment.”

    Alex Bregman and Adding a Bat

    Even with the roster as-is, there's room for both Campbell and Anthony to make the opening day roster. C: Wong/backup 1B: Casas 2B: Grissom or Campbell - or Hamilton if Grissom/Campbell need time in AAA following spring training. SS: Story 3B: Devers LF: Anthony or Campbell - likely only...

    Red Sox sign Walker Buehler

    If the Red Sox indicate they want to bring Buehler back for $25M in 2026, and he declines his part of the mutual option, would the Red Sox still owe him the $3M buyout?

    Alex Bregman and Adding a Bat

    I think Rafaela seemed a lot better than he was at the plate because he had a ton of big RBI hits early in the season. I think he was near the top of the league in RBI for a while. I remember seeing him batting around .200 or whatever and thinking it seemed like his batting average should have...

    Alex Bregman and Adding a Bat

    You say “while their stock is high”, and I say “having good players”. If we’re going to start moving players off the team every time their value increases, then the Boston Red Sox deserve to be abandoned by the fans. We’re not the A’s or Marlins and shouldn’t be acting like them.

    Alex Bregman and Adding a Bat

    I voted yes, and would like him at 3B. - Devers is one of, if not the worst, defensive 3B in baseball. I don’t care if we lower his WAR by moving him to DH. His defense has a net negative value and hurts the team. WAR be damned, his bat doesn’t become less good because he’s a DH. - Bregman is...
