Red Sox/MLB 2024 Playoffs: Sox finish .500 - MLB legend Pete Rose has died at the age of 83

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

For what it's worth, the Red Sox currently have a projected 2025 payroll of roughly $176 million. This number does not include new deals for any of their free agents (O'Neill, Jansen, Martin, etc.), but does include projected arbitration awards for Duran, Houck, and Crawford.

That puts them about $65 million under the first CBT threshold.

Which is despicable for one of the highest grossing teams with one of the highest ticket prices.

I have no dog in the fight this season, but I think the 3-game series should be replaced with 5-game series.

Baltimore and Houston may still have lost but 2 wins just seems a little too light, IMO.

I'd love the Sox to move Masa for bullpen help and sign Bregman to play third, moving Devers to full time DH.

Duran
Bregman
Devers
Casas

Is a legit top 4.

Bregman mashes at Fenway --- .375 with an ops over 1.20

Yay for John Henry

Four teams already have to sit for a week, so I don't think they want to add 3 more days to that. I don't disagree that 2 wins seems too light, and that's why we'll probably see 8 teams make the playoffs in the near future.
