@Shawn_5397 you want to bet? Toronto will be much better and Tampa will be healthy with a better rotation. Sox rotation is middle of the pack at best. Crochet has 3 good months and buelher is damaged goods. No way do the other pitchers repeat the year that they had. This is just a small market team now
It's not a bad move, but it still feels like the FO wants to operate on a level that indicates we're just trying to 'sneak into' the playoffs. This isn't trying to win the division. There's just too much hope attached to 2025. Hoping Buehler is his old self, not the self demonstrated through the majority of '24. Hoping on Giolito. Finding bargains in the Injured Bin. If next year has a bunch of good arms in the FA market, this becomes pragmatic rather than 'cheap,' but teams that are really trying to win now are making more decisive moves, recognizing risk is a part of a winning equation. The Sox are still a spreadsheet team, not a passion project.
@ Maybe what I said wasn’t explicit enough. To clarify-yes, making the playoffs, for any team, is the objective. To put a finer point on it, though, the Yanks trade and spend like they’re trying to win 95+ games. The Sox’ approach *feels* like it is to win 90. The difference is in the margin for error. Aiming for ‘squeaking in’ is an unsatisfying approach for someone who watches 140+ games per year and has been living and breathing with one team for 47 years. Being realistic means we have to understand that most teams have to factor in a window of actual opportunity. But when the FO keeps telling us they’re ’all in,’ and then they keep taking half measures, well, that kinda sucks. But, as I said-probably a good move, but not the Full Throttle move they advertise.
Giolito? Shouldn’t Crawford go to the bullpen? Or why not go with a 6 man rotation like the Japanese only pitching once a week. I’d rather see Devers go to DH, but 1B is an option if Casas wants to take over DH spot. Trading Casas is not really an option unless we find out he doesn’t hit till warm weather.
Throwing the Yankees into the same conversation of the Dodgers rotation is delusional 😵💫 mentioning the Red Sox to the Dodgers rotation is loonie toonie 🥴
Best? Not close. It's deep, but well behind Seattle and the Phillies. I'd probably have the Pirates, Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs above or equal to Boston too
Another Reclamation/Back-9-of-their-career guy. I hope it works out, but it would be great if they signed somebody they can actually count on without having to hold their breath every time he takes the field
Crochet, Buehler, and potentially Giolito are a good 3 punch. But I have little to no confidence in Houck, Bello and Crawford, as these 3 were absolute garbage after the all-star break. There's still a lot of meat on the bones of that supposed $700m "offer" to get Burnes. Plus, the Sox still need more BP help and another bat or two. Have to at least replace Tyler O'Neil's numbers. Bregman and Teo would be great!
You misunderstood what I said. They "offered" $700m to Soto, which was all posturing. If they are going to actually spend some of that, they can still get Bregman, Burnes, or Teo. Someone has to be brought in to replace Tyler O'Neil's numbers at least.
These signings should help Crawford, Bello, and Houck maintain their consistency down the stretch. They faded after the break because they are all very young and were expected to go out and gove too many innings every outing. These are good signings.
$700m was about soto. Just because the sox offered him that money doesnt mean they should spend it all on other players. Yes they are good but are they still in their prime like soto? Hmm idk.
This is another example that Profesional Sports is a BUSINESS. Players will always try to get as much $$$$ as they possibly can, while they can. The name on the BACK of the jersey is more important than the name on the FRONT of the jersey. I don't blame the players one bit. Also, the emotionally attached fans will continue to pay the crazy ticket prices because the name on the FRONT of the jersey is more important than the name on the back of the jersey.
Maybe best rotation in MA.
😂 We'll see if they can outdo Worcester.
Lol im Big Sox fan this is not Best Pitching staff in mlb
@@robertlittle-yk4vghe was actually laughing at this rotation 😅 saying best in Massachusetts! Maybe!!
Maybe even the best in New England
Red soxs need more than just Garrett and walker they need a closer or a pitcher that can really help close the games
Liam hendricks
@@electrobat1401coming back from TJohn, so another “if”
Before I even watch the video, Seattle, Yankees,and Dodgers are still better. Now I'll watch the video.
Best rotation in baseball? Is that a serious question? They will struggle to not finish last in the AL east
Okay lil bro

2004 They got in without the division. The strategy is make the playoffs and see where it goes. All they need to do is stay hot.

Remember Will in Boston he was a gamer

I think they Forgot about Giolito
Why would casas go to dh when he's the better 1b plus you have yoshida
Im just here for Aroldis Chapman
Dodgers and Yankees rotations are a lot better than the Red sox and its not close
Think guy is a hater
Both NY and LA have better rotations, however injuries are always a wild card which is why they play the games.
LA and NY's rotations are better on paper, but the Red Sox just have to make the play-offs, then ANYTHING can happen in a best of series.
This is true but the yankees rotation isn't close to LA
Throwing the Yankees into the same conversation of the Dodgers rotation is delusional 😵💫 mentioning the Red Sox to the Dodgers rotation is loonie toonie 🥴
Will using the MLB salary wisely to load up on Pappy! 💯
Best? Not close. It's deep, but well behind Seattle and the Phillies. I'd probably have the Pirates, Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs above or equal to Boston too
This is a bunch of broken or unproven arms. Pathetic to be a Sox fan

Dodgers dont win the WS without Walker. He's back.
Love love buehler
Bro forgot about the team who let bhueler walk because there rotation was already the best
Best Rotation in baseball?!? 😂
Yeah , cole fried rodon and gil.
So signing a guy witha 5 era completes our rotation? Please stop
Nothing has changed. Red sox love signing the walking wounded.

Burnes was never getting $700 million from anyone lol. He is projected to get 240-300 for 7-8 years

Houk was a top 15 pitcher last year
$700m was about soto. Just because the sox offered him that money doesnt mean they should spend it all on other players. Yes they are good but are they still in their prime like soto? Hmm idk.
Hola

Don't know about you but I went to a Red Sox Rockies game this summer and it was $10 a ticket.
