I’m guessing Cam Booser couldn’t have been substituted for Fajardo in this trade. 🤦🏻‍♂️

No more obvious proof that the Red Sox were probably the other finalist for Murakami’s services. That’s a good sign at least.

Took Ohtani early in his 1st spring training to make an adjustment. Eric Hinske suggested a toe tap instead of the leg kick he had to improve timing , gain more barrrel control, and contact out in front of the plate.

Yeah, where was his early post saying that Murakami was signing with the Sox? Bartolo’s Bunghole is a waste of typed words.

The Sox usually manage to waste three roster spots on replacement level 33 years olds out of 17 million per. This is better, obviously. I get doubting ownership and management but in isolation this is a great use of limited resources.

They were saying the flip to Goff was the touchdown I think. Because yea he came nowhere near crossing the pylon. It was a truly brutal referee explanation to end a game 😂

Bears are in the playoffs...amazing. As far as I'm concerned anything over and above this is gravy. https://chicago.suntimes.com/bears/2025/12/21/bears-make-playoffs-for-first-time-since-2020-as-aaron-rodgers-leads-steelers-to-29-24-win-over-lions

Red Sox to Getz, be like: you could of had a bad b****, noncommittal, I could have helped your roster, just a little

Trading Robert at this point would kill a lot of the good will of signing Murakami.

Yeah, this was a perfect storm in that the red flags were very red and teams wanting to compete couldn't afford the downside risk, meanwhile the downside risk for the Sox is just him being another bum fitting in with the guys. Meanwhile, if he overcomes the swing and miss and sits near the same levels in the states then you got a player who has some value.

Zero clue why they’d act like he had a TD when he was ran back 5 yards but I’ll take the playoffs!!!!

Anyone know why theres a big drone show over the stadium right now

Wow Detroit. Bears are in though!

Insane - playoffs!!! Wohoo

Sid passes Mario as the Penguins all time points leader. Congrats 87!

I guess this move precludes the Red Sox from bugging Chris Getz to trade them Murakami all spring.

Tomlin/Rodgers putting together one of the more unexpected seasons...amazing consistency.

Think Iguchi every time with that 5 but he was #15. Ray Durham lol. Pretty much the opposite of Murakami in every way except strikeouts.

Far too erotic...although much better than Hachi/ko (from A Dog's Tale.) Then there's another H for Hayao Miyazaki, the most famous Japanese animator who recently retired. Studio Ghibli/Totoro/Murakami Bobbleheads lol? SoxTalk Book Club.

Fegan and Longenhagen clocked in back at the end of October: Let’s Scout the Players Coming Over From Asia | FanGraphs Baseball

His stuff is pretty mediocre. He's more in-line with Sugano's ability. Imai is definitely the better talent between the two coming over from the NPB.

More like Sugano. Relies on finesse/odd speed stuff. What next, Senga changed his mind and is coming back to the US?
