    It is somewhat "amazing," as you said.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    I had to laugh....Pedey didn't think Sox management did not know the current free agent list? Thanks Mr. Obvious

    He probably knew they were looking at Lorenzen and Lauer, and wanted to remind them, better players were still out there.

    LOL!

    It's hard for me to believe additional $25M to sign Montgomery is going to sink the Sox. Our payroll is less than $100M for 2025. Ugh

    Maybe the Sale's extension was the final straw.....NO LONG TERM DEALS for pitchers over 30?

    I think they have decided they want to make more money. Maybe they are waiting for the big 3 prospects to arrive, and then will make up for skimping, but I have my doubts.

    We are definitely shopping for clothes at Wal-Mart. Perhaps Pedey should speak to Mrs. Henry about that. She'd understand.

    The Fenway Group or whatever is called I don't believe have hundreds of shareholders. I get it that the bottom line is all-important number for say Apple, but for Henry's company?

    I agree. Why are we setting lower budget in 2023?

    But Sam made it sound like he was making suggestions. As if the FO hadn’t thought of any (all) of them already…

    Maybe they just want to put on an entertaining show for Netflix.

    I'm sure Pedey knew they knew. I think he was saying "Hello! Is anyone in there? It's not too late!"

    Jessica Alba turns 43 years old in April. I think she's more of a business lady than an actor now.
