Of course it’s a holiday weekend-the banks are closed, the financial markets are closed.   Whatever happened to the guy who had in his sig “if it’s not making money it’s not making sense”?   Big Red Sox fan.

speaking of which ... they picked up a right handed bat with a career Fenway average of 375 after 21 games played there.

maybe they're really trying to actually build a f'n roster rather than gaslighting their fan constituency -

I'm fine with it....if they want to operate around their aversion to length by giving insane AAV and the player will "play ball", by all means. I don't love Bregman, I think he's iverrated and boring, but they needed a solid veteran RH bat and he should play up at Fenway.

I care even less man - the last couple years have been so embarrassing. Get some bodies in there that can hit the f'ers and let's see where it goes.

You have to land some over priced free agents and put some W's up there, and that attracts meatier prospects.   I mean they put them selves up against ugly wall with inept and/or penny pinching bullshit and their fans stopped going to games it got so bad.

Plays good D too, can't overlook that especially with this team.

Farm system is ranked 1st or 2nd by most in the know. Roman Anthony is going to be a stud, Kristian Campbell not too shabby either.

Yup. This will be a eor and sematt special like the coastals of yore.

The smells like a classic Brett/@TauntonBlizzard2013storm where he cancels it 3 different times over the next week and then he puts up a 20-burger in a deformation band that annihilates SE MA.

Pics of him pushing his snowblower as flakes tickle his inner thigh. “24 inches and it’s still snowing. Never thought this would happen again.”

He had the nerve in that storm in 2022 to call me Debbie because I said we wouldn’t get 3 feet.

Two points of clarification...I agree with most of your sentiment, however, signing free agents does not attract prospects...you just draft them, and you actually forfeit a draft pick if you a sign a FA that was tendered a contract by their former team. As far as the fan attendance at the park...that is part of the problem. That ownership knows Fenway is a tourist destination and are content with out of town fans filling the park. Attendance is down some, but not much...its more TV ratings that are down.

Well ...the circuitry in mind is not the act of signing FA's ... it's that they'll help manufacture Ws    - that's when it happens.

Bottom line, they were not doing it with whatever the f model that was they were doing the last 3 years.  This signing is different in terms of their scouting behavior -

I'm more interested in if we're turning the corner from asshole org

I don't think this is a sign that they are going to spend again....they got this deal done on their terms.
