So why weren't we interested in Rodriguez or Lugo if we're also not interested in Montgomery or Snell? You literally just named the two pitchers they were reportedly interested in (on top of Montgomery who they have been mentioned as interested in several times). You're right, they were super interested but we just can't outspend the big spenders like Arizona and Kansas City. How stupid of me!

I've had the same thoughts at 2:00am when I haven't picked up anyone at the bar yet.

I will probably get smashed for this, but dodgers have no need for Julio Urias anymore. Offer him a contract that automatically voids if he does stupid things again Totally agree with you. You should get smashed for that

Getting players that good teams don't want is the new market inefficiency

But I mean, it's OK. We'll get the guy who led the league in walks to come here and keep us from finishing last again.
"Full Throttle" - lol

So 3 franchise players are available this off-season, and we basically aren't involved in acquiring any of them? Cool... "Aren't involved" on Yamamoto? That's obviously false.
And who's the third - Soto?
If I show up at a girl's house, but she won't answer the door for me I wasn't "obviously" involved with her, was I? And yes, Soto is the third.

Yeah, I don't know... The nike logo is facing the correct way, so the plane would be as well.

Surprised to see this many good secondary options coming off the board prior to the big boys. Things might get really bad around here soon.

I'm usually part of the "Don't Panic" crowd - but I've certainly got my pitchfork by my side a lot earlier this year than most. IMO the Sox need to make a splash this off-season. Not just because they lack talent, but they also lack people on the roster that people WANT to see play**. YY does that and is a great fit on the roster, but Ohtani and Soto do that even though they aren't. Now that Soto is unavailable, (and again, I'm not panicking yet) assuming we don't get Ohtani either, we're basically putting all our eggs in the YY basket, along with a handful of other teams that have put their money where their mouth is a lot more recently than we have. And if that doesn't work out then we're basically saying we have to trade away the most interesting players in our organization in order to have a chance at not finishing last? Yeah, that's something to panic about.
**Yes, I realize the counter to this is when they signed Pablo - but ya know what? I'd rather sit through having to see Pablo play alongside some other fun players than the crap I've had to sit through the last couple years.

I actually think Joe does a good job calling loud outs, and I don't consider it a negative over those types of calls at all. I mean, I hold my breath when Judge hits one to the warning track when I watch it on TV, and I get basically that same excitement when I listen to him on the radio.

Verdugo will do better, but I mean he was incredibly average for us and that wasn't going to change. I like the trade, and would MUCH rather live in a world where we're not scared to trade with the Yankees. If this is the best deal - take it.

Peter Gammons foreshadowing an Ohtani signing (alongside a Breslow return to the organization) through the form of half illegible 4 am tweets would end up as an absolutely towering journalistic achievement Big, if true

Whether it was Chang or Cora, whoever decided to bunt there needs to be off the team before tomorrow. WTF?

Houck needs to be booed out of the park next time he appears in Fenway. Loss is entirely on him.

It's like Verdugo asks himself, "what's the stupidest f'ing thing I can possibly to do today" and then just goes out and does it.

I got into tabletop baseball a few years ago and have loved it! Never gave APBA a shot since it was so costly, but ended up spending about the same trying Payoff Pitch, Inside Pitch, and the one I settled on: Fall Classic Baseball. I also did a 98 Home Run Chase sim with NPNG+ (which I believe is similar to APBA) and really enjoyed it as well.
