Does the DFA of Davitt mean anything? Like if they were going to trade Pereira this afternoon, would they still have had to DFA Davitt this soon?

Are people seriously comparing Boston Smith to Fernando Tatis Jr? How??? Because he is someone the Sox traded away? When Mead was tearing it up, if WestEddy posted “Don’t worry, Boston Smith is like Fernando Tatis Jr” these same people would have had a field day.

Get with the program. It’s 2026. Nowadays, the organization has nothing to do with success of players. However, a long time ago, when Getz was in charge of player development, it was 100% the fault of the Farm Director if guys didn’t improve. At least this is what I’m told by the people who also told me the team wouldn’t be able to play at a .500 pace until 2030 at the earliest.

Very cool article

Lol Royce Ring was drafted a quarter of a century ago.

Needed something to replace the Luke Keaschall is better than Miguel Vargas rant.

At a bar watching with sound off. What’s he saying?

My question to the people who follow this stuff…. I keep hearing Emerson isn’t as good of a prospect as Bobby Witt was. But when I go to MLB pipeline and look at each player’s grades, it seems like Emerson is rated higher before the draft. Was Witt undervalued? Is it some type of inflation? Emerson: Hit 65, power 55, run 55, arm 60, field 60, overall 65. Witt: Hit 50, power 55, run 60, arm 60 field 60, overall 60.

I’d rather have someone poke my scrotum with needles dipped in acid.

It’s no laughing matter. It’s sad to see Soxtalk turn into some echo chamber that refuses to talk about real issues facing the team.

Who cares? The real story is still the Athletic survey that said some players heard bad things about the Sox from guys who played here a few years ago.

Saying the last rebuild partly failed due to a lack of depth is not some controversial statement. The 2021 team was in the middle of their window and had a top 10 payroll in MLB. Why is that the year being used to measure the 2026 team? They should have had more depth. Besides, this "methodology" doesn't make any sense to me. What does counting players with negative WAR on each team tell you? Tanner Murray had -0.1 in 33 plate appearances and is no longer on the team. If he had 1 more hit and another stolen base or something, he could have had been in the positive. lol, ok.

Schriffen had been even more cringe this series.

Remember when Soxtalk was convinced Getz should have been fired for targeting Vargas instead of Luke Keaschall?

This team is fun

Anyone know the rain situation?

A decent segment of Soxtalk is still complaining about stuff Eddie Einhorn did during the first Reagan administration.

Antonacci is sometimes too grindy

Not hyperbole- Last week the general consensus on this message board was that the rebuild had gone backwards (even though the rebuild includes the worst team in the history of MLB), the lineup was the worst the Sox ever had (even though they had the worst team ever 2 years ago), and that they would be lucky to win 60 games.

Its April 23. Jose Soriano and Aaron Ashby are on pace to be the first starting pitchers to go undefeated in a full season since Buck O'Brien went 20-0 in 1912. If they have one good week, their "on pace" record looks completely different. You guys think they will win only 63 games? I'll take that bet.

Like for the team to continue to be bad? No. Who wants that?

lol I love all these kids favorite players are guys not on the team

That made me lol
