    Red Sox acquire right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from TB for cash considerations

    yep. I'd pay good money for a navy bue baseball cap with that on it.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Yep, Joy has been fleeting. I don’t need to rehash it but with the exception of the unexpected ALCS run in 2021, it’s been a lean 5 years since the beginning of 2019.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Thanks for posting this. I don't pray anymore for ... reasons... but it has been a really long time since my second religion - baseball - has brought me joy. Unfortunately it has coincided with Alex Cora and Red Sox management not performing their core role whcih is to create the groundwork for...

    Fangraphs Positional Power Rankings by Team (Red Sox Ranks and Overall Discussion)

    @LogansDad this is a great summary of the rankings. I totalled your third column of data (FWAR by position 15th ranked team?) and it came out to 24.6 - so as it stands now without the SP projection, the Red Sox in 2024 are predicted by Fangraphs (assuming this is all additive) to better by 0.4...

    FanGraphs Positional Power Rankings by Team - The Pen

    At this point only 3B (4th), DH (6th), and 1B and LF (8th) grade as higher than 15th. I don't know what I was expecting for 2024, but this is... not it.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    Based on almost nothing new except that there seems to be a bit of optimism and youth coming out of spring training, I have bumped my predicted win total back up to 77. If they sign Montgomery I will put it up to 81, but I seriously doubt they will. @Rovin Romine I have edited my original post...

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    With four days to go until Opening Day 2024, nearly 50% of us are predicting <78 wins. @Rovin Romine in the years you’ve run the contest, surely that’s the worst ever?

    Do You Want John Henry To Sell The Red Sox?

    I don’t want him to sell the team. I just want him to do a better job of caring about it. If that seems flippant, consider that when Henry & Co first bought the Red Sox, they invested in its success, and they seemed to actually take pride in both the developments they were doing to Fenway Park...

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    I remember a quote from him, miked up in that Super Bowl, where he was telling Brady that he was too quick. And of course I can’t find it but I did find this. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/boston/news/nfl-films-patriots-rams-micd-up-aaron-donalds-super-bowl-trash-talk-tom-brady/

    Non-Patriots Free Agency News 2024

    Edge for sure just on durability. 15.5 games / year. Edit: he missed 9 games in 10 years (6 in 2022 to high ankle sprain and then surgery). That must’ve been the writing on the wall for him.

    A Reunion: Brissett back in New England. 1 year, $8 million

    Agreed. Good news starting to flow. Been a bit lean since the coaching hires. Edit: and good to see the majority of the effort on the offense.

    Who starts Week 1 at QB for the Patriots?

    I wouldn’t mind this at all, but I voted Brissett just in the likely event that the Rookie isn’t quite ready yet.

    Let's Predict the 2024 Red Sox Season

    See edits above. New predicted record 73-89. And I am guessing they will not sign Montgomery, as his price will have now soared - at least to the Red Sox.

    Lucas Giolito has an elbow issue.

    Me too. Down to 73 wins now.
