    Yes. MCL alone don't need surgery.

    It’s Okay To Worry About Triston Casas: An Attempt at the Reverse Jinx

    You can see the L knee buckle outward on the step before his right foot hits the bag. So, it was a noncontact injury, which isn't a good sign. Let's hope it is MCL and not ACL.

    Jarren Duran details prior suicide attempt in upcoming Netflix series, 'The Clubhouse'

    I think it would go a long way to improve civil discourse in general, if we all go easier on all human beings who make (non-fatal) mistakes. Social media just makes it too easy to toss out severe judgements without the required introspection to understand that we are all in "glass houses." Be...

    Red Sox sign C Yasmani Grandal to a minor league contract

    That's great news, the RS can use them as the perfect platoon. Grandal will frame and catch, shuffle the ball to Wong who even with a broken finger, can throw. I think catcher is all set now, except we need to find one who has no catching skills but can hit --- I think Yoshida would be perfect...

    Jarren Duran details prior suicide attempt in upcoming Netflix series, 'The Clubhouse'

    I have the privilege of being a high school football head coach. One thing that is striking to me and also weighs on me is that about 25% of the players have a significant mental health issue as tagged by the nurse's office (so likely the rate is much higher than 25%), and suicide attempts occur...

    Red Sox sign Garrett Crochet to a 6 year/$170 million extension

    Contract: 6/170 Financially, the contract can be simplified to be viewed at in 2 ways: If Crochet pitches well, 1. Assume ~1 million in Cy Young voting escalators for years 2-5 2. Opt-out after year 5 So 6/170 becomes 6/174 then with the opt-out: 5/147 Figuring 2026 arb was ~10 MM Contract...

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

    I assume the 3 years start next year. So 3/88 MM to buy out 2 UFA years. The most an ARB 3 pitcher received last year (arbitration avoided) was Kyle Tucker, who received 16.5 M. His 2024 contract was 12.0 M. Soto received an increase in his Arb 3 year of 8 M or ~30%. Crochet is receiving 3.8 M...

    Hmm. Suggestions welcome. 1978: Red Sox v Yankees playoff game. RS were down by 1 game entering the last day of the season. The Yankees were losing. I called the RS ticket office to ask if any tickets available for the potential playoff game. They answered yes and they confirmed that they would...

    Alex Bregman to Red Sox: 3 years, $120 million(opt outs after each season)

    And I think part of this calculus is the way deferred money is now calculated. It makes much more sense financially to pay deferred money instead of handing out an excessively long contract, which you know will be underwater with 5 years remaining on the contract. The long cobtracts' AAV is...

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

    With the other mandatory expenses added in before the total payroll calculations, the Red Sox are a few hundred thousand over the 241MM threshold.

    Alex Bregman to Red Sox: 3 years, $120 million(opt outs after each season)

    And it can't be coincidence that with the projected Bregman AAV, the RS are exactly at the tax threshold. If they are competing mid-season as we hope, then spend and blow through it. If the season disappoints, shed a few hundred thousand to get under. Extend Crochet at some fair number/years...

    Alex Bregman to Red Sox: 3 years, $120 million(opt outs after each season)

    As previously stated, Olney reports the deferred salary is significant and states the present day value at 90 MM for 3 years. Of course, this is a very significant detail with respect to evaluating the signing, and luxury tax hit. 3 years for 90 present value is far better/shorter than most...
