Stanton was hurt in 2015 and barely played. That was the 100 MPH pitch to his face, no? Seems a bit misleading to ignore the time he missed due to that, no?

sign JD Martinez, figure out the positions later. Really between he and Hanley, 1 plays 1st and the other DH.
even JDM in left isnt a disaster. its not like we were held back the last time we had a sub par LF that could mash the cover off the ball

Probably depends heavily on whether Aaron Judge and/or Severino were guys going the other way.

JDM has not played one major league start at first base
I guess it's an easy place to pick up

Glad to see Morris and Trammel elected as the Detroit Tigers were my Grandfathers favorite team, I am sure he is smiling down and quite happy.

I guess the good news is that the people with the money seem to be in favor of getting things done.

Rather than being reactionary to the Stanton move, I'd prefer the Sox wait and don't rush to sign JDM, Moustakas, or Hosmer to a long term, high dollar deal. I'd prefer they wait until next year and sign Bryce Harper. So I'd bridge year this season and go all in the following one...

Kimbrel is up after this year and Sale next.
NESN is a tv station 80% owned by the Henry group. The other 20% is JJ I believe.
The value of the Red Sox & Liverpool is about $4.5 B. He owns both and features regularly on NESN
The Yankees have been ratting you out for apple watches, making snide remarks about your Sale deal and loading up like it's going to rain for 40 days and nights but not on them.
You absolutely sign Hosmer. It's a guy built for Fenway not unlike Fred Lynn. He solves multiple problems at least in my baseball world.
If they keep JBJ ok they are done but I'm open dealing him and signing Martinez and sticking him in left field for 2 years till Hanley vacates DH and hope he can come close to Ortiz
I feel like it's 1973 again listening to talk shows on WHDH and WBZ just blast away on the Red Sox

Interesting article on parks Homser had success at. Pretty good numbers at Fenway.
If Eric Hosmer leaves the Royals, which ballpark favors his hitting style?

Said bridge because they clearly don't want to cross over the luxury tax threshold for some reason. I don't get it either because they should be over the luxury tax every year. The park is long paid for. Their tickets are one of the highest priced in the sport. The prices they charge for food and drink in the stadium are astronomical. They peddle all sorts of crap at their fan base year round. They're printing money. Yet they don't want to pay the penalty, which is the real reason they didn't go after Stanton. So I don't think they'd drop $200 mill on JDM and then turn around and sign Harper or Machado the following off season. And if the question is JDM/Hosmer/Moustakas or Harper, give me Harper all day long because it's a clown question bro...

The Sox basically have no choice but to go for it this year, right?
I mean, what was the point of the Sale and Kimbrel deals otherwise?
Peter f***ing Chiarelli made this mistake after he traded Seguin but didnt replace Seidenberg. We know how this can go if you decide you don't want to be all in after committing all your chips.

I like DKH's plan and I think that's probably theirs too. Sign JD and Hosmer and probably move Bradley for a pen piece and some cash or even prospects. And like Mike says, there is no logic in giving up the farm for guys like Sale and Kimbrel and then wasting their remaining contract years. And don't get me wrong...I think people often overreact to every paper acquisition as though that team is now clearly superior, but in the Yankees case they've certainly created a potent lineup. I don't see how the Red Sox can't commit some serious money here to adding some power themselves.
I continue to think JD is a certainty. Losing out on him would stun me.

Florida is a dumpster fire..truly.
Source: Marlins trade OF Ozuna to Cardinals
"You would hope ... that MLB would screen the ownership so that we have someone come in and provide additions," agent Scott Boras, who represents Ozuna, said Wednesday. "[Instead], they come in, and they redirect, so you're not a jewelry store that's coveting your diamonds. You become a pawn shop that's trying to pay the rent of the building."

It is important because if they blow it again this year there's no money in the future. They won't go too much above the threshold.It's only money.
And, more importantly, not yours

The agent for Machado and Josh Donaldson is pretty slick.Both are free agents next year and now the better of the 2(age) is being said to want to play shortstop now thus making Donaldson best free agent 3rd baseman.Pretty slick stuff.

If the Red Sox sign JDM and keep JBJ that puts Hanley at first.
If he can't play enough and reach his 495 plate appearances or whatever their done after this season
I still expect Hosmer - not at Boras 10 years but 5 or 6 at $20+
He's a fit and I don't see what team is as obvious as Boston. I realize his BBIP was very high and a few other red flags but there are many positives and he fits like a glove here. The park is perfect for him.
Martinez would be the first shoe if I'm Boston because they now have leverage if they are interested in Hosmer
I'm sure Boras knows this
