2022 Red Sox

[sb1]

Blue Jays are the big favorites in the AL East. Sox projected to be in the wild card hunt.

How about a surprise 2013 style run for the Sox. Let’s go!

A great day for baseball in the Bronx, sunny and the temperature in the sixties. Predicting Eovaldi out duels Cole.

I bet even Aaron Judge wants his Sox to win today

 

[Vatahala]

Might be a good bet to take the over 37.5 home runs for Devers.

 

[sb1]

Devers just got a little more expensive I think.

Can we possibly ignore his contract status this year as he is signed through 2023?

A lot of key players are free agents after this year. Kike Hernandez. JD Evoldi bogarts can opt out. Vazquez.

Tomase: Sox facing loss of key FAs all over roster, not just Bogaerts and Devers

The Red Sox certainly have big decisions to make moving forward with Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers, but there are a handful of other looming contract situations that will require Chaim Bloom’s attention. Our John Tomase spotlights the predicaments.

Bogaerts has 3 years remaing on a 6 year 132 million deal which he can opt after this season, However he was ranked 32 out of 35 qualifying shortstops defensively, so exceeding $22 million a year is no sure thing. Unless other teams look at him as a full-time DH. Vazquez will be 32 next year so I don't see a free agent contract difficult to match if the Sox choose to as long as he cut downs on his propensity to strike out with the bases loaded.

Bogaerts has 2 years remaing on a 6 year 132 million deal which he can opt after this season, However he was ranked 32 out of 35 qualifying shortstops defensively, so exceeding $22 million a year is no sure thing. Unless other teams look at him as a full-time DH. Vazquez will be 32 next year so I don't see a free agent contract difficult to match if the Sox choose to as long as he cut downs on his propensity to strike out with the bases loaded.

None of these guys are a sure bet to be resigned. Not with bloom operating like he's still with the rays. And the current situation with ownership. John Henry needs the money to fund his other teams. I don't think the redsox are his number one priority.

Nice crisp 2 shut out inning performance by former Yankee pitcher Garrett Whitlock. He only threw 27 pitches, bring him out for the 8th?

 

[sb1]

Nice work by Robles getting out of the 9th inning mini jam.

I thought baseball eliminated the runner on 2nd in extras.

Apparently not, should we pitch run for Vazquez?

 

[Vatahala]

Damn, 3 straight curveballs to Kike and sit your ass down.

 

[Vatahala]

Damn, Xander hit .089 in spring training, but when its for real he's 3 for 5.

 

[Vatahala]

I'm predicting Trevor "Cinderella" Story will hit a 2 run homer this inning.

 

[sb1]

I hate that rule.

 

[captain insano]

I did to. Maybe it doesn't start till next year?

Yup seems like it

MLB is going to be stuck with the awful 'ghost runner' rule in extra innings for 2022

Well, that’s a letdown.

Anyone watching this Friday night baseball broadcast on Apple TV+? Picture quality is amazing. Too bad the broadcast is terrible. These people are clueless about baseball
