    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    What should they do in that scenario, I don't know, a contract that big is a tough pill to swallow, especially for a pitcher. I think this ownership group wouldn't sign him at that point, although the pressure would be intense. If I were the owner and it was my money I'd like to pay him now.

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    One last thing and for the record I do not have it in me to ever hate/even get really mad at this ownership group, they won me 4 World Series (4!!) and kept Fenway Park. They fucked up royally with Mookie and that goes in the ledger too but whaddya going to do sometimes fuckups happen. I will...

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    They need to sign him before he roars out of the gate (which I think he will) and demonstrates he's in line for a $350 million bonanza if he can just hold his water. I also think human nature would make him more receptive now, while he's still gotta have fear of injury in his mind and there's...

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    BTW they better extend Crochett before Opening Day! That Pedro extension was announced basically right after the trade if memory serves.

    Red Sox sign Patrick Sandoval

    Exactly right. We didn't win until we got serious about closing the talent gap with the Yankees and were willing to sign "bad" contracts like Johnny Damon. Right now we're walking through Tiffany's with our wives to look at the wares, intending to come home with nothing while we laugh at "what...

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

    This was a deal they had to make and they made it. He's a prime age power throwing lefthanded starter. Those are simply not available. Sign him to an extension now, before he starts kicking ass this year.

    KAT to Knicks for Randle, DiVincenzo, 1st

    As bad as KAT was against Dallas he was great against Denver. He was the key defender wearing down Jokic. Also made some huge shots in that series. He is a premier talent, given up for Donte Devincenzo and a 2nd Rounder. They won't give Randle big money. KAT has his problems and does dumb...

    What do you want Pats to do with #3?

    If Maye drops to them run to the podium and turn the card in.

    What does 2023 look like?

    The 2023 Sox are a balding dad getting divorced after 20 years of marriage. "It's gonna be the Summer of Gene!" "This apartment complex could be great....These places aren't so bad." "....and I'm closer to the kids (Need to get Chantal to text me back)." / Incredibly loud car drives by at 90...

    How interested are you in the Red Sox at this point?

    "And Now, a very special episode of Mama's Family..." "Ooooooooo!"

    Brad Stevens: President of Basketball Ops

    Great post. Billups is it for me. He inspires instant respect as a person who also had a great basketball career, from flop to star to champion.

    Payton Pritchard drafted #26 overall

    If you can consistently beat your man off the dribble and get in the lane in the NBA you are by definition athletic. Then when he gets there he is ready for the pass or finish, playing very fast but in control. I knew he was for real when he finished through Sabonis for the and1. In the spirit...

    Carry on my Hayward Son: Gordon to Charlotte for 4 years, $120M

    As a long-time LA watcher (I used to smoke a j and go get $10 upper deck seats at UT), he is a wonderfully skilled player who never seems to come through in the clutch. The ultimate leaves-you-wanting-more guy.

    NBA Free Agency Game Thread

    Don't forget Norm Powell, the random guy who plays like Andrew Toney whenever I see him! Yes, I realize in real life he's a Trick or Treat player.

    Tristan Thompson to Boston: 2 years, $19M, player option to re-up with Khloé Kardashian

    I'll never forget the security video of four strippers climbing over him like a jungle gym while he just sort of sat there and chilled.

    Carry on my Hayward Son: Gordon to Charlotte for 4 years, $120M

    It really is amazing how much the Celtics are hated by fans all over the league. I mean I get it on some level, but I think they're the most hated team. People make fun of Lakers bandwagoners People hated the Warriors but not anymore I guess many people will be schadenfruede-watching the Nets...

    Gordon Hayward 2020: I'm standing here in pieces and you're having delusions of grandeur!

    Hayward may be better than Myles Turner, but am I the only person who would be very happy with that trade? Adding an athletic big who can shoot and is still developing and is owed I believe 3 for $54 is a huge win for us in my book. And we add what seems like a legitimate shooter in Nesmith who...
