exactly. Industry source could be Bloom Or someone from NYY for all we know. If it were Dan Shaughnessy or Tomase I'd agree with you. McAdam is great though and I'm sure he doesn't write this lightly. The problem again is the term “industry source” in his reporting is vague beyond belief. that source could be In other words its not anyone Connected to the sox. reporters have used “team source” before. Or even an agent for a source.

Guys, that McAdam article is nonsense. Like literally - it's full of internal contradictions, which I pointed out above. I recommend you wait to get mad about the team failing to sign any decent starters until after they've actually failed to sign any decent starters. exactly. Industry source could be Bloom Or someone from NYY for all we know.

I have bitten my tongue to this point but thumbs down on Paxton. The last thing this team needs is a multi time reclamation project. Guess full throttle meant with the soccer league Henry is trying to put together.

Can someone post highlights from the athletic piece please Nothing new honestly. Sox have yet to make big moves but thats the case for pretty much every team except for the dodgers. Now that Yoshinobu Yamamoto has signed the log jam is removed. So if the sox really will go full throttle we will know soon

The only way the fans won’t boo the bejesus out of them at winter weekend is if they start spending some money quick on like 3 guys , of course we’re probably overvaluing how much Henry and company care about the fan base right now , it’s sad , wish Theo would rescue us LOL... Yamamoto was never going to come here, and that sort of should have been obvious to us the moment Ohtani deferred a bulk of his contract...

I mean there isn't even a point to play the games next year. The Dodgers are just ridiculous. But man it must be nice to be a Dodger fan with owners who would literally do anything to win. I mean we said that about the mets and Padres.

Pete Abe compared Yamamoto to Jose Contreras today in the Globe. A part of me thinks he received John Henry’s approval and that he set the expectation that he’s gonna get snatched by the Evil Empire just like Contreras and to let us down easy ahead of YY’s final decision. Another part of me thinks he’s just looking for clicks. Its almost 100% the latter. Dude is primed to be dans replacement when ever he retires

I am positive that Cora gave you many chances ... You do not get benched after being late to the Ball park only once..... that happens after someone who habitually is late or breaks rules

Are you a Sox fan? I mean, this cheap ownership and "unstable upper management" has managed to win 4 WS championships this century, more than any other team (maybe tied with the SF Giants). Yes, they've been frustrating lately, but that happens. You're making wild accusations. If you're going to continue to post here, make factual statements supported by some evidence and stop being so melodramatic. This isn't Boston sports radio. Facts: Trading Betts. Not signing Eovoldi, E Rodriguez, Bogaerts. I know he got a crazy contract, but maybe he shouldn't of ever hit free agency. Third CBO in 5 years. A lot of people wouldn't even take a meeting for CBO of the Sox. That is sad. Kennedy runs team. CBO is just a figure head to take the fall. I thought Bloom was taking the team in a direction I liked. Make a strong farm team and compete for years. The 4 WS Championships were 3 and 4 CBO's ago. Quit living in the past. Lol.

Getting players that good teams don't want is the new market inefficiency Wow tough crowd. Getting a guy who was the 2nd best pitcher in the playoffs and who most experts consider a top 5 pitching free agent, is not a player good teams don't want. 1. The Mets aren't a good team 2. The Dodgers can't afford everyone, even they have to pick their spending at this point Thats the “sports talk radio” for you.

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 You would be perfect for the weei call in hour.

So 3 franchise players are available this off-season, and we basically aren't involved in acquiring any of them? Cool... You mean Soto and Ohtani? Ohtani was literally going to the dodgers a year ago. Soto is not something we “need” now and it was up to SD where he got traded to.

And thats fine with me. Reporters will actually need to do their job, and not go the easy way and hope for a Leaky Fo... That also could explain why the Boston press is so pissy because it makes their job harder
