There are two ways for this ship to turn around: 1) JR dies 2) JR is publicly shamed into changing by having former players continue to speak out. I would rather not have to rely on death as a beacon of hope, just as far as my personal morality is concerned.

You forgot develop better.

It would maybe keep him from trying to be over-involved, which would be a good thing.

I like Getz's moves from an off-the-field personnel standpoint. The player acquisitions and on-field personnel decisions are, on the whole, bad. As long as JR is the owner, I'm starting to think that the only move that a GM could make that would show he's competent is to resign. Any hire made by JR is likely, by definition, unqualified - if a JR-hired GM really understands what's going on, they'd realize they need to resign.

Can JR use Tampa as a bargaining chip again?

I thought the idea was to be located in a convenient place.

Again, how can we expect the media face of the franchise to know this stuff?

Is it unreasonable for fans to expect that the literal media face of the franchise to understand how media can take quotes out of context?

Clearly, Schriff knows more than Yu Darvish:

What a difference a couple of years can make

Crazy.

What would a "Soxtalk cult hero" Mount Rushmore look like, besides Cody Asche?

Is this what a new banner smells like?

How does winning a world series ring not count as the last laugh...?

Kopech "maybe?" World series ring not enough? I'm confused

Actually, I found flaw in your logic here. You're pointing to a decision the Sox made as positive evidence for your argument.

One of the lone bright spots.

Did they keep whoever was running their social media accounts at the end of last year?

55 save opportunities. Likely by far the fewest in MLB.

That's gotta be worth like $25 today, no?

I have to double check the forum rules, but I'm pretty sure this automatically makes you 2nd in line to Chief Admin of the board.

Yeah, but it'll play on the Sox.

I was going to make a joke about "spring training wins don't count," but even with those wins, 81 still seems unrealistic.

I'm guessing 47 wins.

yeah, I think this team's capable of hitting 10+ home runs.
