@LuigiScal @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier They had no choice, this year we have more options
English
@BostonTBA @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier Agreed, but they wanted to limit it last year too. Didn't happen.
English
Per @alexspeier, Alex Cora wants all five outfielders (Anthony, Duran, Abreu, Rafaela, Yoshida) to get regular playing time
“We’re going to use everybody, and everybody has to be ready,” said Cora. “Everybody’s going to benefit from the luxury that we have. We’ve got five good players. It’s just making sure they understand going into the season, this is who we are, this is what we have, and if they have any questions, come here. If [all five get regular playing time], it’s gonna be special, because all of them can change games in different ways.”

@BostonTBA @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier I really think Rafaela will get some infield time, remember last year he was moved to infield before the Abreu/Roman injuries.
English
Tomorrow, I have to jet to Boston to subject myself to the stench of people from the State of Massachusetts.
Hopefully, the beautiful scent of Springtime in New York City will remain in my system long enough for me to tolerate Bah-stahn for as long as I have to!

My 2026 fantasy baseball team in the Red Sox podcasters league. 16 man league, first overall. How did I do??
English
I think our entire organization is pretty well primed between every day MLB players and prospects that competition will breed the best team by the time you get to the middle of the season and ultimately for the playoffs. Casas is one of those guys that could play well enough to get reps at first when healthy and you know what, if he sucks they can send him back down lol
English
I don’t really talk about him much here, and I wouldn’t call myself a Tristan Casas guy, but I do 100% support him.

Oh no, my steak is too juicy and my lobster too buttery

I think the overall message I was getting at was that Rafaela will not be rotated as much as the others out of CF. Cora has the luxury to award playing time and reps to the OF that is doing the best as well as to sit or substitute as he pleases whether that be for defense or offense
English
@MLPitchpiner @BostonTBA @matthewcrory @alexspeier Agreed he is awesome in CF, but they don't really lose that much on defense with Duran in CF and Roman in LF. If the team offense does well, Rafaela will have a longer leash. If the team struggles to score runs and his OPS drops below .600 that could lead to a change.
English
I agree with that but dude was the most clutch hitter on the team last year and his glove is worth 3/4 WAR by itself... This year I think he will prove he can be the MVP level hitter he was for a few weeks before the AS break. (I'm not saying he will be MVP btw so don't try to cook me lol)
English
@BostonTBA @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier You do realize Rafaela is by far the worst hitter among the 4 starting outfielders .... it's not even close. If he continues to hit like he did in the second half last year, he will likely be sitting a lot more often than you realize.
English
@LuigiScal @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier I was thinking that too but I know a lot of people would've freaked out about that lol. It makes it all make even more sense and the roster even more flexible
English
@BostonTBA @MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier I agree with you, but I'd bet anything Rafaela will be getting some infield playing time. Even if everyone stays healthy, he could be playing 2B when Mayer and/or Story and/or Durbin are sitting.
English
English
@MLPitchpiner @matthewcrory @alexspeier I left him out cuz he should be every day. I was saying to rotate everyone besides Rafaela thru the DH spot
English
@RafaelaEnjoyer I think Cora will ultimately use Yoshida off the bench more than the others rather than starting. They might plan to play Yoshida a bit more at the beginning of the season to try to get some trade interest if he does well.
English
The math is not mathin

You know what, I've done a lot of yapping about other AL East teams, so before the season starts, let me try and say some nice things about each team.
Yankees
Judge is pretty good
Ben Rice will have a top 10 OPS in AL
Schlittler will strike out 200 batters
Tim Hill is hell
English
@matthewcrory @alexspeier Really wish they would explore a 6 man rotation or a super bullpen sort of thing
English
Per @alexspeier Payton Tolle said he is ‘prepared to pitch as a starter or long reliever if he makes the Opening Day roster.’
“I’m fine either way…The best ability is availability. I’m stretched out.”
‘Cora expects to meet with chief baseball officer Craig Breslow and other Sox officials on Monday to discuss roster decisions.’
English
Players hardly play 162 anymore. I think Cora is bluffing a bit and Yoshida will be a more off the bench kind of guy and they will rotate Duran/Abreu/Roman/Yoshida thru the DH spot. I envision Yoshida getting enough playing time that maybe he does well enough to get some trade value
English
@matthewcrory @alexspeier Not gonna work. IMO, every day players need to play every day. If they are on hot streak, they should not sit, if on cold streak they want opportunity to break out.
English
@fukcing_idiot @TheAthleticMLB That record will never be broken or even close
English
@TheAthleticMLB nobody even stole 50 bases last year but you think someone's gonna break Rickey's record of 130? that's too stupid to even be ragebait lmfao
English
It’s prediction season.
But these aren’t your run-of-the-mill predictions. These are bold predictions, which are aiming for a different success rate.
English
There's two things I love more than anything in baseball 1. Red Sox winning 2. Yankees losing
But speaking as a fan of the sport, the Yankees will go nowhere as long as Aaron Boone is their coach. That dude loses them more games than helps them win games.
English
@UnderdogMLB @ChrisKirschner I can't wait until shitler gets lit TF up every start and gets sent down. I will be lmao
English
Boone: Yankees will use 4-man rotation to begin season, via @ChrisKirschner:
Max Fried
Cam Schlittler
Will Warren
Ryan Weathers
TBD if Luis Gil will make Opening Day roster.
English
Kind of a tired take. I very much agree that Henry is cheap, he spends less of their profit than any teams but this dude has helped them win 4 championships the past 22 years, Pats have 6 but Kraft has owned the Patriots for 8 more years than John Henry has owned the Sox. Bruins have won 1, celtics twice.
Tolle unfortunately has legitimately no room to pitch in the rotation unless there's an injury and they don't want him to be in the bullpen to waste his starter potential
English
@TolleEnthusiast U support the Sox the most? The ownership that literally has a fan base by a choke hold cuz they are sitting on tourist trap ball park which will sell out no matter how good the team is. The irony is u have a picture of Tolle who has literally been on 🔥 and they won’t put him⬇️
English
Which Boston team would you say you support the most.
Mine:
1. Red Sox
2. Celtics🔁
3. Patriots 🔁
4. Bruins
Trying to see what yall think something.
