Red Sox/MLB 2023 Off-Season - Red Sox-Yankees trade

[Fenway]

Yup, f*** these scumbags. They pulled a stunt far worse than what everyone is (rightfully) crapping on Fisher and the A's for.

Literally pulled mob tactics on a widow to get the team then ran around holding cities hostage until one paid up and now they sell with their pockets full of taxpayer money.

I was lucky to work with Pawtucket management for years. Ben Mondor, Mike Tamburro, and Lou Schwechheimer ran an operation that was truly fan-first. I have yet to meet anyone who did not enjoy McCoy Stadium.

Ben's succession plans were straightforward - His wife Madeleine would get his stock and Mike and Lou would get the team if anything happened to her.

But FSG wanted control.

Tamburro agreed to stay on and Schwechheimer bought a AAA team in New Orleans and planned to move them to Wichita

Lou Schwechheimer died from complications from COVID on July 29, 2020

There was a time when I went to McCoy probably 20-25 times/year. I’ve been to Polar Park once, two seasons ago.

This is crazy... The Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes is heating up. MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reports in an article for the New York Post that the two-way superstar has already received multiple bids "well north of $500 million," and some are wondering if the bidding could reach $600 million by the time things are said and done.

He would have got 700 easy if he didn't get hurt.

And he'd be worth every penny, imo

Why are the Padres insisting on tagging Grisham onto a Soto deal? Are they morons?

No, well probably not. They just want to trade and cut payroll. Edit, I misread that, but cutting payroll still applies. The Sox did it with Betts and Price. Look how well that turned out.

If I had to guess, I'd say the Mariners are in the process of dumping salary in order to add Blake Snell.

The HOF people better portray him smoking a dart on his plaque

Breslow and Cora already cowering and covering for their upcoming off-season moves and the meetings just began. Was just on MLB Network talking about how they have the talent on their current roster that just need to be better next year. In a year of a Cy Young award winner and Yamamoto, we're really gonna walk away with Seth Lugo.
