1. This is another example that Profesional Sports is a BUSINESS. Players will always try to get as much $$$$ as they possibly can, while they can. The name on the BACK of the jersey is more important than the name on the FRONT of the jersey. I don't blame the players one bit.
   Also, the emotionally attached fans will continue to pay the crazy ticket prices because the name on the FRONT of the jersey is more important than the name on the back of the jersey.

2. Crochet houk bello buehler than Crawford

3. Dodgers and Yankees rotations are a lot better than the Red sox and its not close

4. WHAT DRUGS ARE YOU TAKEN THE DODGERS HAVE THE BEST ROTATION NOWAY THE SOX ARE BETTER.

5. Why a Ryan mallett jersey 😂😂😂

6. Red soxs need more than just Garrett and walker they need a closer or a pitcher that can really help close the games

7. Im just here for Aroldis Chapman

8. Crochet, Buehler, and potentially Giolito are a good 3 punch. But I have little to no confidence in Houck, Bello and Crawford, as these 3 were absolute garbage after the all-star break. There's still a lot of meat on the bones of that supposed $700m "offer" to get Burnes. Plus, the Sox still need more BP help and another bat or two. Have to at least replace Tyler O'Neil's numbers. Bregman and Teo would be great!

9. Maybe best rotation in MA.

10. Giolito? Shouldn’t Crawford go to the bullpen? Or why not go with a 6 man rotation like the Japanese only pitching once a week. I’d rather see Devers go to DH, but 1B is an option if Casas wants to take over DH spot. Trading Casas is not really an option unless we find out he doesn’t hit till warm weather.

11. It's not a bad move, but it still feels like the FO wants to operate on a level that indicates we're just trying to 'sneak into' the playoffs. This isn't trying to win the division. There's just too much hope attached to 2025. Hoping Buehler is his old self, not the self demonstrated through the majority of '24. Hoping on Giolito. Finding bargains in the Injured Bin. If next year has a bunch of good arms in the FA market, this becomes pragmatic rather than 'cheap,' but teams that are really trying to win now are making more decisive moves, recognizing risk is a part of a winning equation. The Sox are still a spreadsheet team, not a passion project.

12. Easy 😂

13. Best? Not close. It's deep, but well behind Seattle and the Phillies. I'd probably have the Pirates, Yankees, Dodgers, and Cubs above or equal to Boston too

14. Best rotation in baseball? Is that a serious question? They will struggle to not finish last in the AL east

15. Bro forgot about the team who let bhueler walk because there rotation was already the best

16. buehler just going to bean town to tell them they cheated in 18 and tell cora he cheated on the traSHTROS TO WIN THEIR FIRST WORLD SERIES..

17. Hola

18. Sl

19. Delusional…This front office is still full of Sh*t…making up stories about "in on this guy, in on this guy." Total BS. They're cheaping out again.

20. Before I even watch the video, Seattle, Yankees,and Dodgers are still better. Now I'll watch the video.

21. Yeah , cole fried rodon and gil.

22. Best Rotation in baseball?!? 😂

23. Willlllllll

24. Another Reclamation/Back-9-of-their-career guy. I hope it works out, but it would be great if they signed somebody they can actually count on without having to hold their breath every time he takes the field
