Pretty close to unprecedented for the Red Sox and other big market teams. The only thing resembling an exception for the Sox was the David Wells...

Many things are possible.

Ask any financial advisor, if they'd raher have $300M over 10 years or $365M spread out until 2044, they'd all say take the upfront money and invest...

It would be an odd move, but not an unprecedented one. But if you do move what is essentially your best player in a playoff hunt, you better win...

We may end up trading Bogey, even if we do turn things around. (Yes, I just said that.) I'm not saying we do, but it's possible.

See, if I was an ignorant Yankee fan only coming out of my hole to troll on a Red Sox board because my team had one great month, I could do the math...

1. Are we sure losing Betts at $365M/12 was a total loss? 2. Why not mention the players we let walk that ended up being good ideas? (not all...

Unless things turn arund soon, Bogaerts won't be here in August. St. Louis (26th in SS fWAR) looks like the most prime suitor, since DeJong did...

It's time to DFA Brasier and call Seabold up. (I guess wait a couple days, until Seabold is in sync for a start.)

$110M is deferred, which translates to a lot of lost money, as it does not gain any interest for over 12 years. All-in-all, it's pretty close. You...

It might not have been at the insult level of lester/xbo offers, but $65M is a big chunk of change.

Not really. Reportedly, we offered $300M/10. He took $365/12 ($110M deferred). He basically got 2 more years at about the same $/yr.

Nope. They offered 10 years and $300 mill. He got 12 years and $365 mill with a lot of deferred money. The difference between those two looks...

What can we do, right now? Make Houck the FT Closer. DFA Brasier & add Casas to the 40 man roster. Promote Duran to MLB Start Cordero & Duran...

Well, compared to what he got they did.....

They didn't really lowball Betts.

Given their history of lowballing homegrown players and then trading them away (lester, betts) while paying big money to outsiders, it wouldn't be...

To me, that would be a crushing loss. Losing Betts, then Bogey & Devers would be a major shake-up, and unless we win, right away, I'm not sure...

If he does, it'll be one year later.

I think the real question is will his good buddy devers be following him out of town....

I think it is all but a certainty, and he won't re-sign here.

I think he goes to Free Agency

Bogey now says he's open to in- season negotiations: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/05/xander-bogaerts-open-to-in-season-extension-talks.html...

Well, suck enough to be able to trade away FAs- to- be without getting roasted by fans. That applied to 2021, too, but we all had a surprise.

Brasier and Barnes on a two-man rocket to the sun?

It looks to me that what Jacks is saying is that Bloom planned for us to suck this year, as part of his long-term strategy...

It's still early, and hitting is down across the board. I think these guys will all rebound. How far is yet to be determined.

27 points at halftime might be a record for a game seven…

Houck’s track record as a starter isn’t so great I want him in the rotation. He really does belong in the bullpen. Now why they use him to...
