Many baseball fans don't give a hoot about revenue sharing, but the Red Sox owner is ticked off and will be bringing up the subject to the league. Rumor last night was that John Henry is NOT going to pay the Red Sox revenue sharing cost to the league. He wants the league to set a minimum salary scale that forces the

We have hit the off-season and our shopping list includes a power hitter(s) and/or starting pitcher, so I thought it would be a good idea to take a look at our top prospects, since many will be asked for and offered in potential trades. These rankings are straight from SoxProspects.com and this thread is intended to spur debate as to which prospects we should hold onto and those we could offer in

Pedroia told Peter Gammons that the Sox approached him about the idea of playing shortstop next season. For some background on this, Pedroia was a SS in college and frequently takes ground balls at the position in practice. The rationale is that the market for second basemen is better than that of shortstop, with Orlando Hudson a free agent and

First of all, I think to properly do this, we need to assess each position individually and then look at the replacement possibilities. Those replacements can be via trade or free agency.

The holiday season may be coming early for Red Sox Nation.
Or maybe, I should be saying: the Halladay season is coming early. The reports came out Tuesday from the New York Daily News that the Boston Red Sox were in strong pursuit of Toronto

Mark DeRosa on the BoSox? He IS a FA right?
The man can play both corner outfield spots pretty well, 1B, 2B, and 3B well, and I'm sure he could spot-start at SS or CF if need be. Heck, the guy's so versatile he would probably be the emergency catcher! Oh, did I mention he hits pretty well?
Maybe I'm just silly happy over him because he helped me win a fa

Billy Wagner signed a 1 yr/$7mm contract with the Braves yesterday, pending a physical. The deal includes a second year vesting option woth $6.5mm if Wagner finishes 50 games.
It would have been nice to have Wagner back had he accepted arbitration, but it was a longshot since he wanted to close. He is 40 saves behind John Fra

Once again we let go of Alex Gonzalez and were gonna end up with another Julio Lugo or Edgar Renteria. The Blue Jays signed gonzo for a 1 year deal worth 2.75 mil! and reportedly a club option for a se

1) Trade with Detroit for Miguel Cabrera. He is only 26 and has a big bat that the Red Sox are looking for. It's looking more and more like San Diego will keep Gonzalez. There is talk about maturity issues with Cabrera, but those would be solved by Ortiz and Francona and t

I heard last night on a local sports show that the Sox are looking into Scutaro.
They were comparing him to Julio Lugo, which I think is unfair.
I think he'd be a great pickup ---- a shortstop who can hit.
Thoughts?

The Royal Rooters, that's what a should've called my thread! How silly of me! Justa nice little spot for Sox fans to b!tch and moan like most of Bostonites like to do! But be forewarned, the rules are the same, talk of anything you want, speak your mind, just no politics! (or religion)

The Red Sox decided not to pick up Alex Gonzalez's 6 million dollar team option which was a little pricey for gonzo. But where are were gonna find anything better out there? Marco Scutaro is 34 i believe and came off a carreer year and is poised for a letdown and is looking for probably more money. Then theres of course

Wel after a very disappointing ending to the 2009 play-offs the Red Sox have some questions that may or may not be answered. Who to keep and who to let go?
Jason Bay? Red Sox should keep him but it appears they are going to let him walk.

Wagner is open to arbitrationif the Sox offer it according to his agent. I hope they do I think he will be a good addition to next years team, and one more year removed from surgery. Thoughts?

The offer was reportedly for 4yrs/$60mm, which is what a lot of people thought the Sox would offer. I think he is looking for 5 years. Personally, I wouldn't go 5 years with that average salary. It might be time to move tp Plan B and Matt Holliday.
