They’re playing the waiting game. AC recently said this offseason reminds him of when the Sox signed JD. They know he doesn’t want to go to Detroit or Toronto.

So they'll get a player for a lower price at the expense of his enthusiasm and locker room morale. Unbelievable. This team will dump over $65 million to purchase the negotiation rights for some eastern european midfielder to join Liverpool, but can't be arsed to meet Alex Bregman's demands. It's an absolute joke.

We've now reached the point of the off-season where we're criticizing the front office for not overpaying free agents to avoid hurting their feelings.

Also, I will never understand why some fans are under the impression that one of the most recognizable, popular, and commercially successful soccer clubs in the world needs to be subsidized by Red Sox profits.

He is a ten time gold glove winner as well.
Huge upgrade vs Raffy.
The Sox have yet to address our fielding problems from last year.
1B and 3B need to be upgraded defensively.
Having a healthy Trevor Story will help at SS.
If we start the season with Raffy at 3B ( career .944 fielding pct), yikes.
Bregman is the perfect fit for us if we cannot get Arenado and off load Yoshi in the deal, move Raffy to DH and perhaps part time 1B and fill in for Bregman on his rest days.
Pickup a better defensive 1B than Casas for the bench, a RH hitter so we can sub him in for the later innings, just like the Sox did when we got Mientkiewicz in 2004.


Toronto is way too high on your list.
They will be lucky to get to .500 next year.
Baltimore needs to be moved up on the list.
Yanks are still the team to beat.
I was doing starting pitching

Overall

Yankees
Baltimore
Boston
Toronto
Tampa

Tampa wild card because they got great arms and top farm especially middle infielders who can move around

Red Sox sign Bregman should be 90 win season

Baltimore could be fun if Holiday explodes into Henderson level ~ O’Neil a good replacement for Santander but made of glass

Yankees got to much pitching

My over under TODAY

Yankees 94
Baltimore 91
Red Sox 84
Toronto 77
Tampa 76

Absolutely disgusting


They didn’t sign the 31 YO to an 8 year deal tho :(


Please don't do this. It's disingenuous and condescending to those of us who have explained in great detail why they a) didn't support this deal both before and after it happened and b) why we're unhappy with their off-season.

You might disagree, but you're better than this shit.

I don’t think I am! I like getting the occasional online needling in there!

Feel free to return the favor when Crochet’s arm inevitably detonates in May

Diego has regressed with the bat / his strikeout ratio is also terrible.
He would be worth taking a gamble, but no way I place him on the 40 man roster.
Don’t really care about his bat, do care about his glove though. If he’s an above average or better defensive catcher that’s all that matters to me. Seems like mixed reviews on that end, projections don’t seem to like his D but scouting reports do
