Here's what I wrote about IKF the other day. Not my favorite signing but none of the free agency options were especially alluring at this stage of the offseason.

05.02.2026 04:18 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Fair enough. We'll see!

04.02.2026 19:04 — 👍 6 🔁 1 💬 1 📌 0I am tired of them trading for guys who aren't better than players they could just sign. Mostly, this is regarding Contreras. I think the unwillingness to pay Alonso was a colossal mistake. I don't usually linger on moves not made but but it's sort of like if the 2018 Red Sox wouldn't pay for JDM.

The week that was in MLB free agency. Find out who is going where in the link!

I'm hoping they sign Luis Rengifo rather than trade for a guy I think is very overrated.
04.02.2026 16:31 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0A better hitter than Parades who I just don't think is particularly good.
04.02.2026 05:15 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I know that Brady wanted me to give this lineup my blessing and I just couldn't. I'm sorry, Isaac Paredes does very little for me.

Love seeing a guy get to play into his 40s.

As someone who has gotten to talk about Star Wars with David Sandlin for a couple of hours, I too am a simp for him. He's also got a seriously electric arm. Glad he's getting a real opportunity.
03.02.2026 17:26 — 👍 5 🔁 1 💬 0 📌 0I wrote about this recently for BTM, I don't think there are going to be any significant moves between now and opening day. I think getting Gray and Suarez were the big ones and the last two will be finishing up the infield and getting a lefty reliever.
03.02.2026 17:24 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My choice would be Rengifo. Highest ceiling, most versatile. If he's healthy there's real 20/20 potential. Coming off a down year with plenty of incentive to prove himself.
03.02.2026 17:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Appreciate it. Just needed to vent for a moment about non-sox stuff in the world (doing so on the twitter is uh... ill-advised).

I could see him ending up on the Red Sox. Good fielder, runs well, makes contact, experience in the AL East. I don't want it particularly but I can see the calculus if they do.
03.02.2026 16:43 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Not sure what is more surprising- that Garcia still wasn't retired or that he's still only 34.
03.02.2026 16:42 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Needs to fire his agent immediately. Worst possible team for a pitcher like this to sign with.
03.02.2026 16:41 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0No.

If "Back to the Future Part 2" was made today, I would say it was a little too on the nose and they needed to be more subtle.
03.02.2026 16:05 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Still amazing that we got a real honest to god pedo cabal exposed and all the people clambering for it previously are just kind of ignoring it because their favorite person is listed in it.
Not really surprising. Still deeply frustrating. Unserious people the lot of them.
Mark Reynolds but older somehow.
03.02.2026 03:20 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I will post here as long as there is interest.
Twitter, unfortunately, is still where the majority of eyes are but I really dislike a lot of the culture.
