I’ll reiterate exactly what I’ve said for weeks. By all accounts, Chaim Bloom did exactly what was asked of him by FSG. He rebuilt the farm, did their dirty work and kept the team from being abjectly terrible. For them to do him like this is a deep disgrace.

Dave O’Brien not doing Red Sox fans any service by saying Triston Casas is “hitting .178 and needs to get it going.” He’s hitting .256/.365/.488/.854 in May and is hitting the absolute shit out of the ball consistently. Would be nice if fans heard that context.

Anonymous quotes in ESPN on Yoshida deal in Dec.: "Overpay for me ... too rich imo" "I have no idea." "We thought he was worth less than half [that]." "I have no words." I wonder if they still don't have any words.

Cardi B scouting report: Lefty with 70 command and good arm-side ride on her four-seamer. Pitches with fire and an intimidating presence. Often makes money moves.

I know a lot of fans vehemently disagree, and he hasn’t been perfect, but this feels like Alex Cora’s best year as Red Sox manager since 2018. More often than not he’s pushed the right buttons. I’ve been critical of him to be sure, but he’s been a value-add overall.

The Dodgers and Rays have used 36 pitchers this year. The Braves and Rangers have used 29. Barraclough will be the 32nd for the Red Sox this year when he gets into a game. I don’t get why this is a big deal.

I’m gonna focus on SP here. Red Sox could have 4/5th of their rotation very cheap. But there’s no ace in the system coming right now. The timing is perfect to throw huge $ at a starter. Yamamoto is the guy. He’s going to be 25, no draft compensation plus BFF w/Masa. Gotta do it.

You can either complain about the lack of potential starting pitching prospects in the Red Sox system or you can complain about trading from MLB reliever depth to address that lack of starter prospects. You can’t do both. I’m really sick of this app.

I feel like this is the most unpopular opinion on Red Sox Twitter right now but Jesus Luzardo does not feel like the right pitcher to give up your most prized prospects. Health issues in the past and had a 91 ERA+ before 2023. Would also rather someone with more years of control

Ask yourselves seriously: would you rather be the Red Sox, at 40-39 in an obvious bridge year when you're trying to get to the next great team, or one of these teams who went for it all this season and have about the same or worse record?

The Mets, Padres and Phillies are first, third and fourth in MLB team payroll and have a combined winning percentage of .483, a record of 112-120. Worth noting the Phillies have a winning record, but barely. Only a matter of time before owners use this as an excuse to not spend.

The price is going to be very high. There will be stiff competition. We know the Red Sox have scouted him extensively and that Masataka Yoshida knows him well. It would register as a massive disappointment if the Red Sox weren’t all in on Yamamoto this winter.

HUGE MOMENT FOR YA BOY: With the arrival of 1959 Topps #58 Eddie Miksis, I've completed my first vintage baseball set build! It happened pretty quickly but I had so much fun these last few months doing this. A total dream as a longtime fan of vintage baseball cards + history.

The Red Sox, I believe, are doing David Hamilton a massive disservice by running him out at shortstop in big league games. He just can’t handle the position. Stop trying to force it.

Can someone point me to a column or a quote that actually indicates members of the Red Sox clubhouse are upset about the trade deadline, or is this just another media narrative made up from whole cloth? I saw one quote from Kenley that struck me as more motivated than upset.

The Red Sox are well-positioned to do the same thing the Rangers have done. They’ve stocked the farm system and young players will contribute. Go out and identify the players to take you to the next level, and get them. Ownership needs to step up with the money.

Red Sox lost today because Brayan Bello pitched poorly for the first time in a long time. Offense scored 5 runs and took advantage of some A’s mistakes. Bullpen was nails and kept them in it. There’s not some grand statement here about the team or the season. Go get ‘em Friday.

David Hamilton's throwing arm from SS has been a big question all year. In a couple games, his max arm strength from SS has been 87.8 mph. Compare to other Red Sox this year: Chang: 80.5 Reyes: 82.5 Arroyo: 83.9 Hernandez has averaged 85.1 from SS, max of 93.7 likely from CF.

Annual reminder: People shouldn’t take the lack of public chatter around the Red Sox to mean they aren’t doing anything. Bloom runs a very tight ship and a very small inner circle is involved in decision-making. Likely won’t find out about stuff until right before it happens.

Feels like there are two groups of Red Sox fans right now: Those who want the team to win every game so they can get in the playoffs, where anything can happen. Or… Those who thought the team would suck and want them to fail so they can be right about it.

I can’t believe people spent money and drove all the way out to Springfield to boo the owner and not let the chief baseball officer even get his words out. Many #RedSox fans are whiny, entitled snowflake assclowns. I’m sick of it. Go root for the Reds or Pirates.
