That's a really fair deal for Judge and he's probably going to be hard pressed to top it on the open market imo In other news, Xander's rocking some fun cleats today. https://twitter.com/RedSox/status/1512462222068490249

mcmagic posted:I don't understand choosing to sign Story if they are going to get cheap with Bogaerts who is much better. Eh, I wouldn't say Bogie is much better, and I think the general consensus is that one of the reasons they signed Story is to act as a hedge if Xander does leave.

R.D. Mangles posted:A reminder of those insanely dogshot boston uniforms. Are they still using those? As for Houck he had an absolutely galaxy brained quote in the Globe talking about missing the start quote:“I’m definitely bummed that I won’t be able to make that start,” Houck said. “But the starts that I am able to make, I plan on giving 100 percent for this team, if not more, so. Anything I can do for this team to help them win, I’ll do it.”

will_colorado posted:what dickhead wouldn't allow Orsillo's video tribute to his broadcast partner to be played? According to Chad Finn, Orsillo was asked a week ago and didn't get the message to the team until last night. So my charitable interpretation is that the team had already locked in their schedule for the ceremony and couldn't fit his message in. Regardless, bad look for the club, and letting Orsillo go is still the dumbest thing they've done in the past twenty years, and that includes the Mookie trade.

STAC Goat posted:Cora was suspended for his involvement in the Houston system and the allegation that he brought it to Boston. They just very deliberately didn't really investigate Boston further or reveal anything about who far it did or didn't go. I think they just got a fine for the Apple Watch thing. quote:Major League Baseball has determined that the Red Sox's replay official is primarily to blame for the team's sign-stealing scandal during its 2018 championship season, the league announced Wednesday. The Red Sox will be stripped of their second-round draft pick in 2020, and replay operator J.T. Watkins will be banned through the 2020 playoffs and forbidden to perform replay duties during the 2021 season. Basically what happened is in 2017 when the league said "stop using electronic devices to steal signs" the Sox interpreted that as meaning using electronic devices to relay stolen signs from the replay room. So they stopped using the Apple Watch, but kept deciphering the signs. Which, it sounds like is what the Yankees were also doing.

Oh fair, I meant the techniques being used, not when they were using them sorry.STAC Goat posted:My impression is that it was alleged that Cora brought the Houston system to Boston in 2018 and MLB did an investigation and didn't reveal anything worse than the watch/Yankee thing but they also didn't give the player immunity they did to Houston to get them to confess, so there was question if the investigation was done seriously or not. Uh, no, per the report quote:With respect to Red Sox players, at the outset of the investigation, the Commissioner’s Office and the MLBPA agreed that, in return for their cooperation and honesty during their interviews, current and former Red Sox players would not be subject to discipline based on the results of the investigation, and that the names of the current and former Red Sox players who cooperated with the investigation would be kept confidential and not publicly disclosed.

Critical posted:My pro shop guy was the one who set him up with a bunch of equipment, said he was the nicest dude and got field passes for Fenway from him a few times. Mookie is a dang saint (i say this and some terrible accusation about him will spring up tomorrow) and for that reason alone I will die mad that Boston decided they'd rather have five ineffective years of Chris Sale over 10-12 years of Mookie's remaining prime and decline. It doesn't help that none of the guys they got from the Dodgers look like they'll amount to much more than serviceable at best.

there are a couple of excellent nuggets in this piece on the Brockton RoxPedro Martinez Jr posted:"I really didn't understand how big (my father) was until he got into the Hall of Fame. ... Like, that's Mookie Betts talking to him like he's someone cool, treating him like he's royalty. Why is this guy talking to my weird, dork dad? He spends his time at home taking care of his flowers." Pedro as a weird, dork dad quote:"The thing that I don't like is that if you hit a home run and you watch it, (our parents) get mad," Ramirez says. "If any of us hits a home run and watches it, they're going, 'Hey, what are you doing? Run the bases.' I'm just like, 'I'm trying to do what you guys used to do to the pitchers. I learned this from you. You used to pimp home runs.'"

I'm a little amazed the Red Sox have gone 4-6 over their last ten games, but are still up 2.5 games in the wild card standings. If they can get a split in Tampa, and one win in New York this week I'll be satisfied.

Nodoze posted:They hired Bloom to not spend a ton of money Bloom added something like $50 million in salary just this past offseason. It's just predominantly in short term deals, and Trevor Story. Again, what I suspect it boils down to is that they don't think 10 year deals are an efficient use of resources, so if that's what you want, adios. To be clear, I don't entirely agree with that philosophy, but that's my read on the situation.
