He’s athletic enough to be capable but at a certain point we have to see it. Has a good arm.

The biggest gap is the game calling and framing. Need to see that improve.

What’s your take on the Red Sox catching situation? Feels like arguably the biggest hole on the roster right now.

I like Wong but he feels like a backup to 50/50 split player.

Narvaez felt like depth but now maybe not? What is he as a player?

Nothing brings more joy than typing β€˜Scott’ into google and google knowing I mean Hatteberg.

Masa looks so alone here. Straight up for Mookie so he can be with his friends.

What!? Roki is signing the the Dodgers?! That’s out of left field - didn’t see that.

I’m putting this on record now:

I’m a Masataka Yoshida guy.

Last year was the low point.

Imagine a world where the Yankees trade for Kyle Tucker only for him to sign elsewhere next offseason.

Oooh. I want to engage (but don’t disagree). It’s because long-term guaranteed deals mostly don’t work out and impact the team financially. So bad=risky. For example take these complete random players and their contracts:

Jacoby Ellsbury
Brian McCann
Giancarlo Stanton
Aaron Hicks

And another post season strike out for Aaron Judge.

Today’s Jon Heyman report:

Everyone is one day closer to signing (or not signing) than they were yesterday.

The WBC Shohei-Trout matchup being the often mentioned example. That was not manufactured. It happened by chance which is what made it so special. The ability to manufacture these moments will kill the lore.

The β€œgolden at-bat” proposal impacts how baseball is played strategically. It would not be good for the game.

Just spoke with a source close to the Soto signing:

β€œExpos’ PR team had a plan for the announcement that included a video of Soto at Olympic Stadium”

β€œManagement got word of your report yesterday and called an emergency zoom meeting.”

β€œYou nailed it…he’s coming to Montreal”

Thank god I grew up with stuffing because if I’d never heard of it before and someone showed up to my house as an adult with wet bread and celery casserole my first instinct would be to beat their ass.

Out here collecting former NY 1st round picks. Zach Wilson - don’t get comfortable.

Does Scott Boras feel more urgency this off season?

Last winter did not play out for a large portion of his clients. This makes you wonder if he’s pushing Soto to sign before the Winter Meetings so the attention can turn to the rest of his portfolio.

We need 1 MVP in the next 5 years to keep a streak alive.

This tracks because I’m sure many will be told, β€œYou’re fired.” at some point before 2028.

Absolutely. Thanksgiving is THE top tier holiday and demands top tier food.

Key Lime Pie is a top tier food.

John Henry, if you need some help getting there, Sox Nation will get you some nitrous.

If I can overcome a crippling fear of the dentist, John Henry can overcome his crippling fear and sign Juan Soto.

This is awesome for the Red Sox. Cooper was at times very good. Nice to have a Swiss Army knife guy that can bounce between Worcester and Boston that’s capable of getting outs.

So Joel Embiid either hates Philadelphia or hates basketball, right?
