You hear me, MLB? I want to be thankful for the same thing 365 days from now. Be adults with the next Collective Bargaining Agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2014 Bob Osgood<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">We should all be grateful for Roman Anthony! A young stud with an astronomically high ceiling who\u2019s locked up under team control for nearly a decade. Roman Anthony is here, he\u2019s wonderful, and he\u2019s ours!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2014 Matt Gross<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I honestly don\u2019t know where to begin, but here goes. I\u2019m thankful:<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That John Henry is in a buying mood this offseason<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">For improving health (and I wish the same for Triston Casas, and the other Sox players on the IL)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">That Dunkin\u2019 opened a location in Placerville, CA. They are now only 798 miles away from me, having closed the gap by 122 miles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2014 Maura McGurk<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"standard-img\" style=\"color:transparent;aspect-ratio:960 \/ 640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/8af220243c17a705333da7b6bdf0d029.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Forgive me if you\u2019ve heard this spiel from me before, but I was 11 when the 2004 Red Sox broke the curse. Like most kids with short attention spans, I was captivated by the offense\u2019s chances of scoring and adding runs to the total whenever they were up to bat, but Pedro Martinez\u2019s starts were another thing entirely. I would eat, go to the bathroom, do homework, or whatever I needed to do during the batting half of every inning Pedro would play, waiting to see how he\u2019d attack the strike zone and tease guys, especially Yankees, after sitting them down.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">So, I\u2019m thankful for the presence of another dominant, confident ace in the organization. A guy with years of promise down the road, who genuinely gives the team a chance to win whenever he\u2019s on the mound. He\u2019s certainly more stoic than Pedro, but his stuff is explosive. And the front office wasted no time on putting the pen to paper, so he\u2019s all ours for several years to come!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">\u2014 Dean Roussel<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I\u2019m thankful that baseball exists and we get to watch it.
