  1. To be fair, pretty much anyone has a better health history vs Cralos Rodon.
  2. That is an interesting name. Probably solves the defensive catcher situation. https://www.prospectslive.com/scoutingreports/rafael-marchan
  3. Will be interesting to see if there is really competition here, do they focus more on a win now package, or something to load up the system a bit more.
  4. Back to back playoff appearances rewrite that history, but feel free to grudge on.
  5. He's also a free agent after refusing MiLB assignment
  6. If the name is out there, it probably won't happen. Seems like if it is going to happen, we find out about it when it is done.
  7. I think more than anything it reflects the current make up for the team. We have a lot of cheap high end starters and position players, but not as much in the pen, so that's where they spend today. I do think that changes here soon with a high dollar starter getting added, at least.
  8. Again, we are probably losing 3 of our top late inning guys in Kimbrel, Tepera, and Kopech. That will require some spending to make up for.
  9. I like it. Schilling was a pretty excited arm if he can stay healthy after surgery.
  10. Do you know Jack? He is the Cal Ripken of overreacting. He's out there all day, every day.
  11. I can't wait to see the same people who are upset the Sox never spend big in the free agent market, talk about how the Sox overspend in the free agent market.
  12. I think a more interesting question could be will Tampa be in Tampa for this whole contract.
  13. We need a lot of bullpen arms, more if Kimbrel really is traded.
  14. No one said it was 100%.
  15. It sure doesn't stop people from showing up and lowballing your offer either.
  16. I will give it to you, you can always find the worst in a situation. And when it isn't there, you can invent it.
  17. As someone who negotiated my own `50% raise a couple of years back all I can say is if you don't ask for it, you won't get it. The worst that happens is they say no. Typically it serves as a negotiating point.
  18. In fact this makes him evenore tradeable.
  19. If you understand what a superstars arb and free agent years look like, you understand why this take is comical.
  20. This is a take. These deals save teams a TON of money during these deals. Sure some guys fail, but this contract was not going to hurt the Sox. That is comical.
  21. Eloy will almost certainly get hurt for a stretch. Robert too. Having more good OFs is a really good idea.
  22. I would RATHER spend money in FA and keep our quality depth.
  23. There couldn't be a worse reason to not make a trade. If he is scared, he needs to find a new job.
  24. If we put Max in the front of our rotation, I am fully OK with us dumpster diving for RF and 2B.
