Unpopular Take(s): I don't want the #RedSox to sign *any* of the big-name free agent shortstops. Leave Xander at short and Arroyo at second. Re-sign Iglesias for bench depth at both SS and 2B. Pitching is our Achilles' heel, not SS. Direct the bulk of our resources there.

I might not run a huge media company that has been putting out an increasing amount of content featuring adults playing Blitzball in a warehouse during the middle of the day when the rest of us are working real jobs, but I think the Red Sox City Connect jerseys are pretty great.

I'm not the first person to mention this, but if Kutter Crawford was on another team, Red Sox fans would be drooling over him. But he's on our team, and we barely talk about him.

I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more upbeat about the 2023 Red Sox than I was the 2021 or 2022 Red Sox. Just being honest.

I feel like the Red Sox are going to make a fairly large transaction. Don't know who/what. Can't say exactly when, but I feel like it's going to be sooner than later. I dunno. Just a hunch. Signed, The Guy Who Knew Aaron Hicks Would Be DFA'd Right Before He Was DFA'd

If Trevor Story had signed with a team that needed a shortstop in 2022, that team (and its fans) would not have complained about Trevor Story playing shortstop for that team in 2022.
