    Can the Sox even lose the division? Don't they need to be in contention before they can blow it?

    The worst we can do is to stay the same: last place.

    LeMahieu to start season on IL.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Last place is likely again but we could do worse by having a lower winning percentage.

    The Yankees acquired Joe Berti from Miami to fill in for him.

    Must be nice when injuries trigger the front office to react on occasion. Per BTV, the Yankees underpaid for him…

    The guy they traded for:

    John Cruz is the only player that Fangraphs has tracked (at least since 2006) to have been younger than 18 and have a .900+ OPS in over 200 plate appearances at the complex

    Obviously he's super young and a lot can happen, but his FCL performance was literally unheard of

    John Cruz, who is everyone's favorite breakout prospect, is heading to Miami.
    18 year old with projection, hit 10 HR in 48 CPX games last year.
    Made good in-zone contact(83%) and had a 101 90th percentile EV which is solid for his age.


    John Cruz is already a Top 200 prospect for me and realistically could be Top 50 overall by the end of 2024.

    Oh, we can do MUCH worse than that!

    Well March 28 is finally here. Is everyone excited? For me I’ll be watching March Madness tonight, and then the Celtics, and Bruins will be in the PS for who knows how long, so the Red Sox will be on the back burner for awhile, so hopefully when they come to the front they will be somewhat relevant. Good luck to those who will be keeping a close eye on things.

    So this is your last post on the Red Sox for a while then. OK, catch you after the Celts and Bruins are done.
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    There are mute buttons and radios and things like that.

    The radios used to sync up, but they don’t do that anymore.

    I know I am going into this season with excitement about a lot of our players- most are young and promising, and some have already shown glimpses of high level skills.

    I'm not expecting much more than 80-84 wins, and losing sucks, but I'm looking forward to seeing how our future starts to take shape.

    I'll be watching the minors, more this year, and I hope some prospects take big steps forward.

    Let the game begin!

    I'll put the game on, but likely won't finish it. I have no interest in March Madness.
