Is Alex Verdugo immature?
Yes
Was it insanely dumb to call out Alex Cora?
Yes
Do I hate him as much as I hated David Price and Dustin Pedroia?
Absolutely not.
Will I miss those clutch moments?
Yes
Would I have traded him anyway?
Yes
Any member of Boston media still suggesting the Sox got “nothing” for Betts is outing themselves as a total hack.
Dugie leads the AL in doubles and is playing gold glove defense. Wong is Top-3 in MLB in runners caught stealing and has proven to be an above-average slugger.

For all those suggesting we stop watching games or going to Fenway…
You’re telling me you don’t want to watch this kid hit??
35 bombs this year AT LEAST.
If the Sox don’t make some type of move for a respectable, defensive-minded shortstop in the coming days, that will qualify as gross negligence and a clear willingness to throw this season away.
David Hamilton is not the guy. Pablo Reyes has never and will never be the guy.…

4. COMMENT a bold prediction for a player this year 🤔
Adrián Beltré on the Sox was the best.
.325 AVG
.919 OPS
49 DOUBLES!!
28 HR
Resurrected his career in a huge way with us on a 1-year prove it deal. Really wish we woulda kept him around longer…
I think I underestimated how likable this Sox team was gonna be. And to think there are some “fans” out there that will basically root against them all year because they have an issue with John Henry.
I am confident Jordan Montgomery will (eventually) end up signing with the Red Sox. Feels like his potential suitors are dwindling and he and his agent are likely playing a waiting game. The match just makes too much sense and I believe Boston will fork up the money.
I see zero reason why a scuffling Jarren Duran can’t be given a day off to allow Yoshida to get at-bats. Abreu can play CF.
We’ve gone from “Yoshida will DH most of the time” to “he is never seeing LF ever again”.
This whole situation is pissing me off a bit.
98.5 clowning on the Sox for not exploring a trade for “a guy like Tim Anderson on the White Sox”.
Pretty sure anyone hired at the Sports Hub is required to undergo a procedure to remove every last one of their brain cells before officially signing their contract.
Steamer is currently projecting the following stats for Masa Yoshida in 2024:
.291 AVG
.821 OPS
17 HR
73 RBI
71 R
120 wRC+
Would you be happy with these kinds of numbers from him in his second MLB season? I’d argue this is underselling his potential just a tad.
There are real people out there who will be commenting on how this is a “AAA lineup of no namers” for the Sox. 🙂
Yes.
It quite literally is a AAA lineup.
Exactly how this goes at the start of Every. Single. Year. 🥴
I know there are already so many takes out there on this, but I’ve gotta vent a bit. MLB should be absolutely ashamed of themselves over the quality of these Nike/Fanatics uniforms.
They clearly think fans are stupid by attempting to frame this as a move towards a “lighter and…
It’s quite simple really.
Lucas Giolito has proven he’s capable of being a No. 2/3 arm in a rotation.
Lucas Giolito is now on the Red Sox.
I am a Red Sox fan.
I am going to be optimistic about his ability to regain his form and help our team.
😄
Coming around to just bringing JT back at this point. This lineup competes.
Jarren Duran
Rafael Devers
Justin Turner
Triston Casas
Trevor Story
Masataka Yoshida
Tyler O’Neil
Vaughn Grissom
Connor Wong
I’m fine with this route ONLY IF it is paired with an impact SP acquisition.
It’s actually absurd that we’re about a week away from Opening Day and both Snell and Montgomery remain unsigned. Have to imagine both are growing very frustrated with Boras after being promised the moon. No way either will be ready for the start of the season. What a joke.
Teoscar Hernández would have finished 1st or 2nd on the Sox in HRs each of the last four years…
Don’t underrate what he could do for our lineup. Just an overall better and more consistent version of Adam Duvall.

4. COMMENT your favorite thing about our boy Rafi 😄
I have plenty of faith in Ceddanne Rafaela long-term, but boy oh boy he is an absolute nightmare to watch at the plate right now.
Long swing + Zero discipline = 🤮
Jonathon Papelbon joined Foul Territory to talk about the comments made by Rafael Devers & Dustin Pedroia, his thoughts on the Front Office and what they’re doing, as well as who he thinks the Red Sox need to sign.
“You gotta go get this Montgomery kid”
I understand Duran is an extremely exciting player to watch, but if you are legitimately complaining about Refsnyder (.346 AVG/.912 OPS vs LHP) being in the lineup over him against a lefty, I do not know what to tell you.
If the Sox can take 2 out of 3 from both OAK and LAA and head back to Fenway at 6-4, that should be considered a job very well done. If they can manage to make one of those a sweep, the vibes will be fantastic heading into Fenway Opening Day.
