In all honesty - way smarter than what they did the past 2-3 years where they rised off-season expectations only to sign all the relievers. Yeah hoping for an out of the blue signing like we did with Yaz a few years ago but doubt that will happen
November 11, 20223 yr Bowden wakes up tomorrow, hungover and moans "I'm never drinking with Larussa again"

November 11, 20223 yr How much crack is required to even think that idea. Of course JR probably created that rumor. It was like when he was serious about signing Roger Clemens when he was a Red Sox. Somehow if they got Judge he would go on the IL.

After the Sox signed Albert Belle to the largest deal in history, Clemens' agents, the Hendricks brothers, reached out to Sox G.M. Ron Schueler to let him know Clemens would be interested in playing for the club. Schueler wasn't interested making the comment, "Clemens is over the hill" and he signed with Toronto. Instead the Sox signed Jamie Navarro to a four year deal.

I don't boo White Sox players, no matter how awful they are, but I booed Navarro. A total bum. He once complained after a game about run support. He gave up 9 runs. Schueler did get redemption though. He traded him for Eldred and Valentin. I can't believe the Brewers fell for it.

That's what I remember. Great trade. Jaime needed a third pitch, among other things. Fastball, slider and nothing else of any use. Correct me if I'm wrong.
November 11, 20223 yr Sure, Jim, that’s exactly in the Sox’ offseason plan. First, cancel the annual fan fest. Second, make the most spectacular free agent signing in the team’s history, and then have no forum on which to show him off and take a bow. Reinsdorf showed up at the Soxfest after the Belle signing. Do the math, Jim.

When comparing annual HR leaders vs the 2nd place guy, Judge put up a historic variance. I did the math from 1970-2022, Judge's season represents the biggest variance in that window from HR leader to 2nd place guy, at a whopping 34.78% increase from the 2nd place batter. Only other instance with a 30% or greater variance was 1989. Judge is great, but something is fishy about his past season. Since Alcantara had more complete games than most other entire teams I guess that means he was ONLY using humidor balls. Judge’s accomplishment should not be diminished by your cynicism.

Bonds was the best player illegal drugs could produce. Smash brothers were sticking needles in each other's asses. The Astros were banging garbage cans and adjusting the AC system. How do you trust anyone isn't getting the benefit of cheating?
