Listen, I'd rather win with assholes than have to watch good citizens have Kyle Barraclough experiences out there. It's hard to look past the fact that this guy choke slammed his wife against a wall then pulled out a gun and indiscriminately shot up his garage to scare her.
Agree but you are in the minority- a good guy a good person but today that and $3.52 will get you a medium ice coffee at Dunks

I'm still taking time away from this forum but I had to come on here and say absolutely f***ing NOT to this Chapman signing.


If that's the case, go sign Bauer immediately.


Ridiculous signing. Chapman is a disgusting human and it's embarrassing he's on the Red Sox.
If this was last year probably don’t touch him but nice guys finish last

What if all of this is just an elaborate psychology experiment? Pretend to want to sign expensive players, sign unlikeable players, and generally care and spend as little as possible to see how far you can go before it significantly impacts profitability.
Kinda like the Duncan Principle

If the Sox don’t get Soto and we are sitting there with an overpaid washed Chapman this is basically real life Clark Griswald getting jelly roll of month club membership

If the Sox lose out on Soto after a massive overpay for Chapman I’m going to Nepal and not bringing my iPhone,

I’m out

I’ve had it with this team and bringing in a golden snitch or whatever the F they are discussing at mlb offices
I understand Nepal is very nice. You can become a martial arts monk.

Feinsand is saying he hasnt spoken to a single owner or executive that has Red Sox getting Soto. Says its just between the 2 New York teams. Honestly, just go with Teoscar and sign Burnes and Fried. Never wanted that Yankee scumbag anyway (😭).

No Casas, No Casas, No Casas.

I would rather trade Mayer. You have a KNOWN commodity with Casas. Unbelievably dumb if they trade him. AT LEAST breslow has come out and said as much.
I actually like Mayer the least of any of the top RedSox top prospects , and would have no problem if they traded him for a top starter or even for a big bat like Rooker. Mayer seems to have injury issues each year. While I think he will be a solid big leaguer, I think he is more above average than star quality (not anything wrong with that). I think his value won't be higher, and if the Sox signed someone like Adames it could block Mayer. I also like the upside of Kristian Campbell more. All my opinion only.

I don't think the entire off-season hinges on signing Juan Soto.
Actually I figured they were only in it because he was interested in them

He’s basically a LF and they got Duran

CF & RF in a very good spot (Rafaela, Abreu, Anthony)

personally my plan

1. Go after Soto if he said I’ll sign with you all things equal

But

2. I would have not figured we had even a punchers chance and gone after

Willy Adames

Bieber

One of Burnes or Fried and if no luck: Sean Manaea

That we are in the Soto stuff is kind of crazy but hey it’s interesting
