Really nice they were able to get Mondesi for a fringe player on the 40 man roster

That's a shame! I really liked his swing.

Does anyone have an explanation why redsoxpayroll has us at 221 and Fangraphs payroll has us at 215?

If this was a 'win-now' kinda year, I think I would prefer Alfaro over Wong for 2nd catcher. But for this year, Wong deserves a long leash IMO.

Unreported signing official: Albert Chalas, outfielder.
Argeny Sanchez official too.

Cespedes has officially been signed, per the Red Sox transactions. And his name is apparently spelled Yoeilin.

Weird that Jesse Sanchez removed the Red Sox from signing Tony Ruiz - I still expect them to sign him, but interesting to note. Maybe he isn't signing today. ADD: Ben Badler actually did the same on his big board...maybe something's up. But ggeiss24 'reported' differently yesterday...

Also, I assume his hitting timetable is ahead of his throwing one. What are the odds he makes an early return as a DH/PH?

I don't think this point has been made on this board, but in the long run the surgery might be a blessing. If it improves the likelihood that he can actually play short stop going forward, the value of his contract increases enormously. Bite the bullet now, and hope it vastly improves your chances in 2024 and beyond.

Bloom might just be taking a conservative approach. If he says, "We're hoping he's back in 4 months" and it ends up being a totally normal 6 months, people will freak out. Much better to start it as, "We'll see" and then turn it into, "He'll be back by the end of June" once he's actually well into the recovery phase. Classic underpromise, overdeliver tactic

Sox re-signed Sterling Sharp to a MiLB deal!

Am I right in assuming the deal doesn't raise Devers 2023 AAV? Fangraphs thinks I'm wrong and it's 30M for 2023 as well. That kind of hamstrings our flexibilty, with only 9M room until the threshold. www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/payroll/red-sox

Red Sox Payroll says we're now 16.7 under. I guess now the question is if they just sign Andrus/Segura, or if they can fit in a backup CF somehow too, possibly by going with a cheaper MI via trade. www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/payroll/red-soxIf I'm reading this correctly we have about 21M room until the luxury tax, depending on outcomes of arbitration cases.
