    Bob Uecker dead at 90

    CBS Sunday Morning did a nice piece on him last year. It shows that Uke still had it and was still loving life at 90.

    Bob Uecker dead at 90

    Bob Uecker is dead. Uke still sounded great at 90. He had a great life, but he'll be missed.

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

    Yeah, there’s no way Crochet would take that.

    The Rookies

    Rafaela is far from the worst player ever, but striking out 10 times for every walk is very concerning.

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    Nazzan Zanetello's stock has plunged after an awful 2024, but he doesn't turn 20 until May. It would be nice if the Sox find a way to tap into the tools they saw when they gave him a well-over-slot $3 million bonus.

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

    The problem is the four righties are all big question marks. Wong's overall number look good, but he was tremendous for the first three months, then really fell off. Rafaela needs to learn at least a LITTLE plate discipline, Story, obviously, has been plagued by injuries with the Sox, but his...

    The Kutter Crawford thread

    Foulke's knees went first. I think he hurt his elbow partially from pitching on two bad knees. He give his all to make 2004 happen.

    Red Sox sign Walker Buehler

    Amen to that. Last year, Crawford was supposed to be the sixth starter, after Houck, Bello, Giolito, Pivetta, and Whitlock. Not only was Crawford in the rotation at the start of the year, but Bernardino (opener), Criswell, Winckowski and Anderson all were needed to start in April.

    Red Sox sign Walker Buehler

    With the Sandoval deal, it's like they signed Buehler's replacement before they signed Buehler.

    Red Sox sign Austin Adams (MiLB deal)

    That's a lot of celebration for getting away with a very hittable slider to get a strikeout.

    Are Bailey and Breslow Pitcher-Whisperers?

    That and figuring out a way to cut down Crawford homers allowed.

    Rickey Henderson has died

    Definitely. Rickey is 19th all time in BWAR. At the time of Mays's death, the only living players ahead of him on the list were Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Alex Rodriguez, all of who come with asterisks.

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    Yeah, we heard Paxton could come back the last couple of months in 2022, and Hendriks could return around the trade deadline in 2024. Neither threw a pitch for the Sox in those seasons. Betting on the most optimistic timetable for a pitcher after surgery almost always leads to disappointment.

    ProJo's Jim Donaldson has passed at age 73

    I found out about this place from Art Martone on the ProJo Sox blog.

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

    I have to think Breslow got an indication from ownership that they would be good with an extension. I doubt he would put Teel and Montgomery in the same trade for a guy who would be in Boston for just two years.

    Ghosts of Rosters Past

    To me the answer is undoubtedly Pedro.

    Yankees acquire Devin Williams for Nestor Cortes and Caleb Durbin

    Nice move by the Yankees. Weaver in the eighth and Williams in the ninth is a hell of a bullpen.

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

    Trading Abreu and still keeping him would be a genius move. (I can say that because I’ve never made a mistake in a posting here.)

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

    They used up most of their trade pieces in this deal.

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

    Thanks. The SoxProspects guys don’t think he’s getting picked.
