    Idk why but I am picturing Pedro Martinez in a hoody trying to convince the Astros his name is Seth.

    Tbh this is a really solid add in my opinion. Sox have oodles of SP depth, but truly not a ton of relievers in the upper minors. Has had 2 really solid ML seasons the past 4 years, and would have 4 more years of control if he actually did well this year.

    Oh I love baseball. And the Red Sox. I’ll always root for the team on the field.

    I just believe that true fans—TRUE FANS—have an obligation to call out ownership when they’re not fully committed to winning. Especially when that team has the 3rd largest revenue stream in MLB, but ranks only 23rd in percentage of revenue spent on payroll.

    You and some of the other fanboys here are from the Pollyanna, “clap louder!”, “Gee whiz, that billionaire owner is a swell guy!” school. 

    To me, you’re the one who doesn’t like baseball. Or winning baseball, I guess.

    Is this in fact a free agent signing????? Is the shutout OVAH?

    Nah, it's only a minor league free agent, and we've signed a couple of those already.

    Man people love to complain. Basically karma farming at this point with how negative this sub is sometimes.

    Only team without a major-league FA signing and the only one we might sign is Bregman.

    Yeah, the Yankees blew us out of the fucking water with that... Paul Blackburn signing.

    But by trade we made the two biggest acquisitions of the off season. The free agent vs trade distinction is stupid

    Pfff, genuinely kick biscuits, King Fan, every offseason they talk about being aggressive on the market and then there’s this. Gray trade is good, Contreras trade might be fine, but the FO’s refusal to spend on top FAs continues to infuriate. Do you think you’re somehow a more virtuous or “better” fan because you don’t question the team’s decisions?

    It’s just a minor league FA signing my guy
