Agree somewhat... Since it seems obvious he was going to go to LA no matter what feels like you would have had to make him an obscene offer that LAD would not want to match.. Regarding the offer leaking, feels like many would not buy whatever number leaked, especially those who's thoughts about the current ownership group are vocal. leaked to the Globe: Henry using his mouthpiece so I would trust it etc I think it's safe to assume the money was under $300M without a leak. That assuming they matched a much a safer PR move than saying Red Sox offered $3xx if they aren't active in FA signings. The leak that did come out pretty quickly after missing on YY was they likely wouldn't spend big money plus Cotillo's recent article about the front offices cap of $225M makes it seem likely there will not be any bigger FA signing after Giolito. The hopefully bigger moves will come through the trade market. I am not buying that Article from Cotillo.. that source is an agent full stop... there is no chance that that came from someone in the front office

Also, if they're not spending, then why were they in on Yamamoto? As someone wise here said, I'll believe it (no spending) when Alex Speier writes about it. I think it’s pretty telling that the Mets and Yankees offers leaked but the Red Sox did not. Wouldn’t be surprised if they were “in it” until the price got to the 300s. With this ownership group you can almost guarantee that if they had a comparable offer we would’ve heard about it. Agree somewhat...

And I highly doubt Craig would have taken this job of if these “financial shackles” were true. IMO the sox would have promoted internally if that was the case.

Its an agent full stop. This isnt the first time Chis and masslive wrote an article this week that essentially said the sox are cheap.

Still will be surprised if the payroll isn’t in the $230-$240m range, but not the type of report you love to see. What if the report is from the mouth of an agent trying to add pressure? 1000000%

We are not a small market team! that is nothing more than sports talk BS. We certainly aren't operating like a big market team. This is literally the 2nd salary dump trade we have made this offseason. This isnt a salary dump. And the Verdugo one was not a salary dump either. Come on man!

Lol. Sale cant stay healthy I mean you aren't wrong. But at least we aren't pretend this trade makes us better now (or at least most of us aren't). I guess I just haven't come to terms with the fact that we are a small market team and will continue acting like a small market team for the foreseeable future. We are not a small market team! that is nothing more than sports talk BS.

It makes tons of sense if the Red Sox don't necessarily think they'll be better than the other four teams in the division in 2024. It's present value traded for future value, which it seems is what both teams involved wanted. Oh yeah, actually you are a right. Now that we are a small market team who doesn't compete to win. This trade does make sense when you look at it with that lens. Lol. Sale cant stay healthy

Jon Heyman is now pushing the Red Sox as being heavily interested in Montgomery lol In other words nobody knows anything. Someone send up the bat signal when moves actually happen lol

Yup... starting to get a little nervous about how this off-season is going to play out. And thats my queue to log off of social media for the day. Red sox twitter is already a cesspool and dumpster fire on steroids. This is just going to light a match for that group. Despite literally no pitching having gone off the board since the dodgers last signings

Chris also raised a good point in a followup tweet.
So unless he you give Boras a Blank check for one of his clients….. we may be here for a while.

but saying the same thing voer and over and over and over and over again is pointless as well Haven't you just been calling anyone who is negative about the Sox a WEEI caller over and over and over? And for that matter, isn't copying and pasting the exact same message on multiple messages boards the exact same thing? Asking for a friend. No

Probably something related to baseball I'll gladly read it when it's posted then. But expecting people to just carry on any type of analysis, just for the sake of analysis, when there is literally nothing new to analyze is a bit silly. but saying the same thing voer and over and over and over and over again is pointless as well

We may want to tank. But no coach is going to tell his team to purposely tank. As it no only affects the team but the players who may be FA (ie a player will lose money).
This team isnt horrible (top down) like CAR.
