I am not overly worried about Moncada but I do think when you have guys like Acuna with the Braves and Juan Soto with the Nats come up and look like all-star caliber players almost immediately, people will tend to over react and think the Sox guys are just busts with no hope at all....cause I mean, we haven't had many position players come up and set the world on fire for awhile. And if they did, they flamed out right away like Beckham. Watching a rebuild from afar for another team, everything looks easier. When it's your squad going through it, seems like everything is going wrong, guys aren't developing, there is no hope, etc. I am willing to give Moncada, Lopez and Giolito another full year before I make any assumptions on these guys.

Pretty sure Herrera is their starting center fielder. I don't see why they would trade him if they signed Harper. Cutch would go to left, Herrera in CF and Harper to right. Pushes Hoskins to first base, where he belongs. If anything, they would just part ways with Aaron Altherr who is a year older then Herrera and isn't very good.

We can’t fall on the spectrum of fear. It’s all about the love.

Dude, I rarely post but you are so negative about everything. Do you ever say anything positive? Do you even have a positive thought? Everything is doom and gloom with you. Have a happy thought once in awhile. It’s okay. 26 year old super stars in their prime are always a good idea. So what if the last 2-3 years might be an overpay. The bulk of the deal will be worth it if they get one

What if @raBBit is palehose1? Maybe that’s his way of leaking his info without anything associated to him

I know people don’t like Dave’s whole schitck or whatever, but I really don’t see him claiming anything other than the 7 year 175 million thing being wrong. Other than that, he seems to just be optimistic based off any intel he got and reading the tea leaves. This offseason has been exhausting for everyone. I get our beloved Sox have sucked for like a decade, but lately seems like some people are just looking for reasons to be pissed or b****.

I think he is referring to Peter Alonso who is one of their top prospects.

That was Jim Everett right?

230 pages. Too many of us are refreshing and commenting on this thread and this saga seems to just keeps on going and going and going and going.....

Not sure if this was posted already but my thoughts exactly

Hopefully he sees Yonder during the holidays and he convinces Manny to sign with the Sox.

I’m basically refreshing to see if someone posts a juicy twitter rumor from someone reputable. Other than that, this whole thread seems off the rails.

Long time lurker, setup an account a long time ago and just never posted anything.
