You sure about that? I’m not.

Who are you most excited to watch this year?
Yep, overpay Giddey and the Bulls still can’t afford to keep them all. Not sure if Tray realizes this.

It’s not a good return if the top prospects don’t pan out. Knowing which prospects to give up is also the key to being a good GM.

Sox Claim P Mike Vasil
The Miguel Cabrera trade was still a fleecing. Getz wakes up in a cold sweat wishing he could make a trade like this. Then he struggles to fall back asleep all depressed thinking about his Cease and Santos trades. December 4, 2007: Miguel Cabrera traded by the Florida Marlins with Dontrelle Willis to the Detroit Tigers for Dallas Trahern (minors), Burke Badenhop, Frankie De La Cruz, Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller, and Mike Rabelo.

Scott Merkin is too busy writing puff pieces to update the roster pages. 🤣 PS — I realize Merkin doesn’t update the site.

Sox Spring Training notes
Definitely. Younger and while they’ll both hit .220, Moniak can at least run into one every now and then.

Sox Spring Training notes
Would’ve been nice. Will be interesting to see what he eventually signs for. Ultimately, I think he will probably be out of the Sox range of around $5 million. Texas gave him $13 million for last season and he had a good year. I know he’s old as dirt but he keeps putting up good seasons so I doubt he takes that much of a pay cut.

How do you rank Chris Getz' GM tenure so far?
You need to start sending your letters to Ishbia instead.
-
Who are you most excited to watch this year?
They are. I’m still not buying though. And this hot streak is just going to ensure they will get another mediocre draft pick spot. NBA Hell continues…

How many other GMs throughout baseball history intentionally tanked like Getz and the Sox did? How many of those GMs set the record Getz did last year?

Who are you most excited to watch this year?
Exactly. And who were the Nuggets missing that was probably the difference in the game? Oh yeah…

Off-Season Pass the Time Catch-All
I’m sure the Mets would love to but I doubt there is any hope of that. The Mets would have to pay a ton of Marte’s remaining money. Another poster mentioned this very early on — that Canario probably wouldn’t remain with the Mets simply because Marte is owed $19.5 million for this year. Yikes… If the Mets DFA Canario soon, I hope Getz is all over him. Other posters have noted Canario’s swing and miss issues, and they are correct, as he has 15 strikeouts in 43 plate appearances this Spring. But he has also drawn 7 walks and shown his power with 3 bombs, including a grand slam. I still think he’s worth a shot. He’s only a year older than Meidroth and could be a part of the next good young Sox team, even if he is just a platoon OF/DH at best.

Dan Bernstein FIRED!
Apparently, the guy who got into it with Bernstein just donated $10,000 to Camp One Step, for which Bernstein served on the board of directors and was removed last week for his tweet about going after this guy’s children.

2025 Old Sock Drawer
Brutal. Bad enough we had to watch them on the Sox last year, but Oldy Moldy is now another year older? 38 now? Wow, poor Padres fans…

Off-Season Pass the Time Catch-All
Link: ”Alexander Canario had two homers, including a grand slam, in the Mets’ 10-2 rout of the Marlins on Sunday. He also singled. When we checked in on Canario a week ago, he was just 3-for-25 with a .621 OPS this spring. Now he’s 11-for-35 with a 1.058 OPS. He still doesn’t make sense for the Mets roster, but it seems far more likely now that he’ll be claimed by some team (Colorado?) if he goes on waivers.”

Dan Bernstein FIRED!
Talking politics has been a non-stop theme over the years with Bernstein, so you must have missed a lot of it. He is extreme anti-Catholic and anti-Conservative. He takes shots at the current POTUS all the time. I remember in 2016 right after the election, Bernstein said he tucked in his son into bed for the night and cried as he was worried about the future of Jewish people. He was always a sensationalist tool and used his platform to spout his biased beliefs. Good riddance.
-
Dan Bernstein FIRED!
I don’t think that was the main reason but it was definitely a side advantage of Bernstein saying something stupid and causing his own firing. The dude literally threatened a guy and his kids and didn’t even attempt to delete the tweets — probably because he was smart enough to know that they were screenshotted for evidence the second he made the tweets.

Not in a million years. Just like how both Kenny and Hahn are completely out of baseball. The Jerry stink is all over them.- Sox Spring Training notes
Gotta have something to look forward to if you are a season ticket holder.- 3/24 Sox vs. Athletics 2:05PM CT - final spring training game
No one is excited to see a AAAA player starting for the Sox, but that’s most of their lineup.- 3/24 Sox vs. Athletics 2:05PM CT - final spring training game
The search engine shows March 6th which was after Colson Montgomery was held out with back spasms on February 27th. Also, Meidroth didn’t hit all ST and is more of a 2B than SS. There really was no other logical option with that knowledge. https://www.soxtalk.com/forums/search/?&q=Amaya&author=ptatc&search_and_or=or - Sox Claim P Mike Vasil
