    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    Also, I'll be honest, given what FA deals for CFs are, he doesn't have to do that much for it to not hurt the team. For 10M in CF you're probably getting a great glove with a deeply inconsistent bat, or a decent bat who is passable in CF. I know we'd have CR for six years at x+arbitration...

    Red Sox, Ceddanne Rafaela agree to contract extension

    I think the argument is reasonable, though I do think terms are everything. My mind goes to a few different comps, and to me they often lost their highest value edge in their late-20s or early-30s - the JBJ, Javy Baez types. If they get a deal that locks in those tail end years at not a huge...

    Feats of Mookie - 2024 Angst & Awe

    Do we need another topic, not even in the Red Sox forum, where people re-litigate the Mookie Betts trade? I'm just gonna block it for my own sanity but hasn't this been beaten to death?

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    Probably right. It might depend on the terms of the contract, I could see some owners scoffing at a max for instance but I still think most would hope Lebron still has some juice left and, if not, take the attendance/merch gains anyway. Regardless, I think Bronny is the most valuable 12th man...

    Bronny declares for NBA draft

    As insane as it is, a single year of production from Lebron is going to be worth more than probably - what - 80% of the players drafted? This is going to be a fascinating storyline and I think he goes way, way higher than he should just for that reason. There's plenty of mid-franchises or those...

    Shohei Ohtani’s attorneys accuse interpreter of ‘massive theft’ tied to alleged gambling

    Here's the thing though, it's insanely easy to make this good. If you as the team think something is important enough to go retrieve for the player and would have notable market value (which the Ohtani ball absolutely would, I think Heritage might be pumping it up - but the Angels Auction site...

    3/30 - The Road Trip: Game 3

    March/April: Red Sox discussion, observations and trend tracking...AKA It's not all about the Benjamins

    The Rafaela Triple was such a fun clip. One of my favorite things about baseball is when everyone on the field knows what's going to happen, except the one guy running the bases who feels very differently and turns it into something else. All three clips really from the MILB/AAAA thread: three...

    That is the type of card you overpay for if you'll do it, when you know another one isn't coming along. Congrats! So what's left, Red Lava, Gold Prizm, and what's the third head of the monster?

    Thoughts/Impressions on “The Dynasty” Apple TV Series

    Because you know what casual viewers of Bravo-style reality shows, gossip fans, and conspiracy theorists hate: powerful people getting into sex scandals involving major discrepancies of influence. Glad they didn't include that. I dunno, like I get the idea that this was meant as a general...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    I guess the issue with this is the chicken and the egg right - if the Pats are truly the "poster child for a shitty situation" - is a year led by Jacoby Brissett followed by ???? going to make that any better for whoever the incoming QB is? I am presuming the argument would be to pursue...

    Yet another Pats draft poll--Your preference, 5 weeks out

    Nothing of the last few weeks has really changed my position. Top-10ish QBs very rarely ever hit free agency and if they do there's usually a huge price tag and massive caveats. Trading for one will likely cost you a draft or two of top picks or even more if it's one without huge warts. If they...

    As we see the young guys in the Sox system do well I'll be interested to see who the Sox have in Bowman. It seems Allan Castro and Johanfran Garcia are both signing. Teel is the biggest name for Boston who is due and if he does will be an exciting chase. After that I assume Yoellin Cespedes is...

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    There is also one other little thing here though...which Dylan Cease is San Diego getting?

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    I guess my thing is, we have had a few rough years in Boston. There was a half decade of AJ Preller playing the farm system build / prospect game for an absolutely terrible Padres team in the late 2010s, a legit wholesale build. We can look at Tatis for instance, great trade for them on all...

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    You still didn't mention the two top 10 org prospects they gave up with Thorpe or Grisham to start with. And the only reason they had Soto to deal was everyone else. When the thread is discussing Preller it needs to be considered. Especially when folks here are praising Preller heavily when he's...

    Dylan Cease traded to Padres

    I mean, you have to consider the other parts of these deals too right? This wasn't purely 1 year of Soto for 2 years of Cease and King, there were other players of value moving. Like, what's the real trade here when considering the extended Sotoverse? Padres Gave Up: Robert Hassell (1st round...

    In this case, I don't think so. Topps Chrome Update Sapphire was a one auto per box product and I don't think I've seen any box that didn't have it, and this is at the end of TCUS' life cycle as what was an online exclusive product. However, when they did this with a Heritage Retail box? That I...
