    If the Padres were willing to include one of their top end prospects and some money or a lower tier prospect and a ton of money and we send back say a David Hamilton, I think that would make sense and I’d do it. Like if they were willing to include Ethan Salas, one of the top catching prospects...

    Sam Kennedy - The Personification of a Meme Coin

    Was a new thread really necessary for this when it’s been talked about incessantly in other threads?

    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 agree on this, especially when it’s a guys first and maybe only chance to make real money. The only time you really see loyalty come into play is when a guy comes back on a short-term deal coming off a long contract from the team, like Kershaw or Adam Wainwright years ago. Other than that, not...

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

    It’s not like you have to go to the game. If you are going to be that miserable don’t go. ESPN doesn’t care because nobody else cares other than you. People who want to go will go, people who don’t won’t go. You’re going to get cold games in April in Boston, just part of the deal. There will be...

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

    I went to the Chiefs Dolphins playoff game last season and the windchill was -30, and it was sold out. I think people will be able to handle a game in April.

    International Signings - 2025

    Great info, thanks. So basically seems like they’ve committed most of their money already, which is fine. Probably looking at acquiring a Blake Sabol type guy then with the remaining trade-able money, not sure who that is on the Dodgers or Padres. Either way, glad they’re making moves to improve...

    International Signings - 2025

    Not very familiar with the international bonus pool money, is there a way to know how much the Red Sox have left/how much they would be able to trade? Not sure what guys would be available from LA/SD, but would at least be worth looking into. Dodgers have some really nice young arms like Bobby...

    This lineup makes a lot of sense to me. I think the way the #2 spot in the lineup is viewed today is a lot different than it used to be. I feel like the best hitter a lot of times bats second now because it allows them to get more at bats throughout the season. Not every team does it, but I’d...

    Right, except I’d probably move Grissom to the 7 spot just because I’m not sure you want a guy who may not hit right away in the 2 hole.

    Yes sorry, Yoshida is DH in this scenario.

    I’d be curious to hear some of your guys projected 26 man major league roster for when the year starts. Main questions I guess would be do either Anthony or Campbell start the year in the majors, and what does the bullpen look like. Here’s what I think it would look like without any more...

    2024-2025 MiLB Offseason

    I for the life of me cannot ever remember Cesar Puello playing a game for the Red Sox . What a waste of the 2-4 hitters surrounded by that lineup and pitching staff.

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    It wasn’t so much that there were prospects that needed to be traded, but Bloom seemed unwilling to really make any trades to seriously improve the major league roster. Maybe moving guys like Bleis, Yorke or Mata when there value was high could’ve resulted in getting a really good player back...

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    Montgomery was actually a Breslow pick to be fair, which brings up another point in which Breslow was more willing deal his own picks rather than guys from the past regime. I get that the value probably lined up better, but it was interesting, considering that was his first pick as GM and he...

    2024 Prospect Rankings Thread

    I wish Chaim wouldn’t have gotten so attached to his prospects that it prevented the major league roster from making any serious moves, because my god can that guy spot talent.

    Is this a playoff team?

    Fine, throw away the comment regarding the AL Central records. Even though the AL East is a much much better division and no team even close to the level of the White Sox. But sure use their record against the Central last year and double that. That wasn’t really supposed to be my point. My...

    Is this a playoff team?

    That’s a smaller sample size, so you’d have to double the amount of games against the AL Central and take away half of the games against the AL East. You’ve got to assume their record against the AL Central would be better than their record against the AL East after 50 games. Like I said though...

    Is this a playoff team?

    So because they have worse competition that means that the talent level of those teams are better than the Red Sox who face much stiffer completion? If you take out the games against the White Sox the Royals and Tigers would’ve barely been above .500 last year. To say they aren’t even close to...

    Is this a playoff team?

    Had the Red Sox played in the AL Central they would’ve had a better record than both those teams, so I don’t think it’s fair to say they are not even close.

    Is this a playoff team?

    You’re right, we probably shouldn’t even watch this season, just seems like a waste of time at this point. Why would I ever support a baseball team I’ve followed for 20 years and witnessed 4 World Series? As soon as they start having a few losing seasons I should relentlessly bitch and moan on a...
