Undefeated season loading....

So where will they be shown?
Not sure why you're happy about that.
It just means less access to baseball.

To be honest - it doesn't take that good of an arm to get a kiwifruit airborne.

Do you realize how much blatantly incorrect/wrong results that LLMs provide? There are some places they excel and some places they do not.

Red Sox
Three years 120 million total.
You heard it here first.

The problem is usually lack of engagement - just a barrage of factless propaganda.

He no longer makes hard contact.
He is a liability at the plate.
He costs a ton.

Batting average?
Really?

He’s way past his prime and his bat is over the hill.
Makes way too much money too.

Doesn't matter where they were last year - they didn't throw a pitch for the Red Sox. I think we might have been a wildcard if Giolito didn't get injured in Spring training.
But on the issue of health. If Story, Casas, Grissom are all healthy next year, the lineup changes dramatically too.

Sorry - but you're wrong. Look at the pitching overhaul:
Out: Pivetta, Martin, Jansen
In: Crochet, Buehller, Giolito, Hendriks, Whitlock, Chapman
more depth - higher upper end
Definitely a contender this year.

Oh define work.
Is the goal to fix your problem?
Or get you so frustrated you throw your phone against the wall breaking it so you don't bother their customer "service" department again.

I'd heard some noise about White being close to ready - but best not to rush him back.

And Partey in the back four again

Might be something like Abreu+(not a lot) for Seiya Suzuki.
My guess is it will be someone we haven't considered "available' as of yet.

Think it’s coming via trade

I think one gets done. I'm thinking 5 years 100 million dollars with some 25M options years.

Wait til the Sox trade with the Cubs for Seiya...

I guess that's fair. Most mocks I see have two qbs going 1/2 (there's always late helium there). If that's the board, I'm probably trading down if I'm the Patriots, but in a mock you don't necessarily have that option

Confused that we didn't go either Hunter or OT in the first round

Casas plus better be for Kirby or Gilbert
Your entire staff benefits a lot from home cooking
comment in response to

We’ll throw in Abreu. No way do you get Anthony for one year of Tucker…

Casas goes in a deal for an elite pitcher

Oh I'm sorry - you're showing up on my Red Sox feed - I made an unwarranted assumption.
I don't hate the birds - better you than the Yanks or the Rays - I like your collection of young talent
I live in the DC area so I see them a lot.

Crochet is 25
Burnes soon turns 30, Fried is 31
If Crochet stays healthy (the big caveat) I love this deal for the Sox.
Maybe the best Sox starter since Pedro

Projected 2025 fWAR:
Crochet 4.9
Burnes 3.9
Snell 3.6
Fried 3.3
comment in response to

A Crochet will do!
comment in response to

Plus - it's not like you just got nothing for Crochet - Teel and bMont (far away from the majors) have major leaguer written all over them.
comment in response to
post
Cupboard's not quite barren. Teel and BMont (plus Wikelman and Meidroth) feels like a lot, but if Crochet meets his upside then it will likely be worth it
comment in response to
post
Teel, B Montgomery, Meidroth and Wicklman, Gonzalez
Pretty hefty price - WSox made out well.

I've been an Arsenal fan since the 80's. They've always had a huge presence in the States. A lot of the time it feels like NBC Sports ignores the US Arsenal presence because it predates their coverage

This was not the Sox news we were looking for....

Exactly
It's called market-rate.
