Such an awful job by Cherrington. Absolutely awful.
Cafardo is saying the Angels coveted Bard, but not sure if that's who they asked for.
If they did, why the hell did we say no??
Agreed. The fact that it was for Marmol just adds insult to injury
How many of them can you get on a 1 year deal?
They probably think Bard can regain his old self somehow.
And you can stick with the assertion that those two meaningless stories make up the worst year the media has ever had in Boston.
True, but regardless, the Sox still have Melancon, Aceves, Bailey, who are all better than Marmol.
And like I said, it's much easier to find a RP (Soria, Soriano, Madson, Broxton) than a SP with that ceiling.
Wow, I want to say you have got to be kidding me but come on! I am tellin' ya, this FO is just not capable IMO of acting decisively. If a player is attractive to multiple teams, I just do not know how we are going to land him. Been afraid of this for months now.
@jonahkeri: Haren year-by-year fastball velocity, starting in 2007: 91.7, 91.1, 90.6, 90.6, 90.0, 88.5 http://t.co/Q2gf5CEK
Get over Haren...he has arthritus in his asshole..they call it his prostate
Whif some made cheese
It is not so much the idea of Haren as much as the idea that he could have been a good fit here and we are not seemingly seeing many guys that look like we are all that interested in them.
For all that folks don't like about him maybe Johnson is the best candidate at this point now that Peavey is gone and Haren is gone. I hate to say it but I see a likelihood of a number of posts like "forget about enter whatever name you want here he is gone. Move on".
Cubs pulled out from deal. Marmol had no trade, must not have been able to waive by midnight
Swoop, Cherrington, swoop!!!
How is BC going to swoop when he operates like he has one wing tied behind his tail feathers. With our luck BC will swoop down on the west coast, miss Haren and somehow end up sinking his talons into .......Beckett for a return engagement!
Epic fail Cherrington, epic fail.
Very disappointed that the Red Sox could not get it done. They were too busy working on a contract with Ortiz that should have been done weeks ago-- even though they essentially ended up giving him exactly what he wanted anyway.
Very very disappointed by this. We're going to end up with Liriano and Baker in our rotation next year, and that really sucks.
When asked to comment about the near missed deal that would have sent Haren to Chicago for Marmol Sox GM Ben Charrington said........ "Huh".
