Red Sox/MLB 2025 Off-Season Hot Stove II - Alex Bregman in agreement with the Boston Red Sox

[RoccoF14]

yup

Watching MLB Network and they have Yankees SP

Gerrit Cole R
Max Fried L
Carlos Rodon L
Luis Gil R
Clarke Schmidt R
Marcus Stroman R
Carlos Carrasco R

Yowza - top 5 looks ass-kicking if healthy

Stroman wants out - says he’s not going to pen

Devin Williams is also a massive upgrade over Clay Holmes as their closer. I think they might have fleeced Milwaukee in that deal.

I still think Boston needs to address their bullpen. I didn't like that Chapman signing at all, for a variety of reasons already pointed out.

No doubt the Yanks have some nice starters.
If Buehler can regain his form, I think we can hang with them.
Yanks lost Soto, that bat has not been replaced.
Goldschmidt at 1b is a question mark
Bellinger was a nice pickup

Whitlock is important…..Hendricks would be an amazing story. If he could have one highly successful Magic season he could be a legend here

I'm pulling for Hendricks and I'm hoping for a full comeback. He's been through a lot and I wish him nothing but the best. He was a huge favorite with White Sox fans back in 2021-22 and he'll be a big hit in Fenway as well if he can get back to old form. I think its a longshot, but I'm rooting for him.

He did give up a lot of HRs though, when he was a closer in Chicago playing in a pitchers ballpark. That might be a problem in Fenway.

Whitlock can be a closer, if he stays healthy.
Slaten is damn good as well.
I am pulling for Hendricks as well, would be a great story if he can save 30 games for us.
Guerrero will surprise us this season, he has a great arm.

Sarge,

Generally respect your takes but Chapman went far beyond anything that Payton or Puckett ever did. None are/were perfect gentlemen but what Chapman has admitted to in the past is entirely disgraceful.

Not going to argue at all, as they have all done very bad things --- like about 98% of fans, I'm still going to follow the team and hope for success.

Always something

They're better this season with Bregman.

How much better and whether his $30+ million could have been used more efficiently is up for debate, IMO.

What a weird rant to post the day after they signed one of the premier free agents on the market and went over the CBT threshold.

You want to give them a star for signing one guy after years of trash incompetence in the front office , if this team was serious they would’ve signed Soto.
