    Betts/Price to LA for Verdugo/Jeter Downs/TBA

    So we're paying 1/2 of David price's contract? 3/32 = 3/16 for the Dodgers. Eovaldi is sitting at 3/17 - I don't know why but this math feels bad to me

    MLB/MLBPA discussing '19/'20 rule changes: Universal DH/no sept callups/3 batter rule

    If they are trying to speed up the pace of play, doesn't forcing the National League use a DH kind of counter this? Meaning, rather than an automatic out with a pitcher, they'll increase the likelyhood someone gets on base and extend the inning(s)?

    Could we be in for a Record Season?

    "With their 66th win, the Red Sox set the record for the most victories prior to the All-Star break, and they maintained a 3 1/2-game lead over the Yankees -- who defeated the Indians on Thursday -- in the American League East."...

    Could we be in for a Record Season?

    I should also add, our own club record for 1912, was 105 wins with a .691 winning %. In 162 games we'd need 112 wins to break. The last time we broke 100 wins was 1946 at 104

    Could we be in for a Record Season?

    The Red Sox are off to their best start ever and we all wondering how long this will continue. We are also still in the first month so anything could happen. BUT, does anyone have any bold predictions for the club or players this year? Any records in reach? We have numerous players...

    BOS bullpen 2018

    Joe Kelly needs to find happiness in the long relief or spot starter role, mopping up messes. He's physically capable (but who isn't at the major league level) to be decent or great, but he's an unpredictable head case. He's trying too hard to prove himself constantly. He's got 6 major league...

    Pitching Depth

    The starting rotation has me worried. Here are baseball-reference 2018 predictions: Here are our likely 200 IP guys: 1) Sale - 3.36 ERA, 190 IP, 230 K - I feel this is conservative on the ERA and IP side 2) Price - 3.77 ERA, 117 IP, 115 K - Obviously this takes into calculation injury plagued...

    I like big bats and I cannot lie: Acquiring a hitter

    I'm being realistic here; with $ and trades. The thread is about a big bat, not high OBP -- .521 slugging last year isn't terrible. Also, Logan Morrison can't play 3B because he's left-handed. Do you have any concern about Devers errors and range at 3B next year? What if he also fails to thrive...

    I like big bats and I cannot lie: Acquiring a hitter

    Corner Infield ie. 3B or 1B. Meaning: Devers, Hanley, Moustakas at the corners / DH

    I like big bats and I cannot lie: Acquiring a hitter

    How about Moustakas? Depth to corner infield, 38 HR in 2017. If we sign another outfielder then we need to move JBJ, Benintendi or Betts. I can't see one of them coming off the bench Also, I don't think he'll be as pricey as JD, Hosmer or Stanton, while still providing a nice upside

    Playoffs Round 1, all possibilities

    Today the magic number is 1. We've locked a playoff spot, and obviously there is an advantage avoiding the wildcard. We won't be facing the Yankees first round due to the Twins record. However, with the following match-ups, which do you favor? With the health of the club, would you throw away...

    Red Sox acquire Drew Pomeranz for Anderson Espinoza

    The Red Sox strategy right now should be to develop hitters and trade for pitchers. How many pitchers have they successfully developed? IMO Espinoza under the Red Sox org may not have panned out anyway. I like that they've kept Moncada, Benentendi, Devers. Let's win now.
