Red Sox ownership

[Dipre]

Don’t judge what’s cared about on here to what’s out in the vast other parts of RSN.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Well, now he can get blue balls from waiting for prospects that never pan out.

Hey, some do pan out. Hi Jarren.

If Red Sox nation was polled, what % would be upset that the Sox didn't do whatever it took to keep Mookie? 75%? More? Less?

Again, if we're talking about the average avid Sox fan -- and that would exclude most of this entire board or any forum where fanatics post 365 days per year -- then I'd say:

... at the time, one hundred percent.

... at this time, one kajillion percent.

And they get to celebrate his 28th birthday with him this September. A shame it couldn't happen sooner. If it takes Roman Anthony that long, he'll be in his third organization by then.

I think Xander, Eovaldi and others are lesser issues. Mookie is what put this franchise on a downward spiral for 4 or more years.

For me, it was not merely not re-signing Mookie - though I certainly think they should have. It was the dawdling about the entire thing - if they knew he wanted to leave (premise) they were not bold about moving him earlier. If they were counting on keeping him, they did not go to the mat. Door #1 here is a hard PR sell, but it would have at least been defensible.

They were set to trade Betts during the 2019 season, but the Sox went on a mini streak and Dombrowski decided to keep him around.

He thinks he is the voice of the vast majority of Red Sox Nation because he talks baseball to like two or three other people, one of whom might be his own reflection in the bathroom mirror…

Maybe he’s one of those boys down at Clancy’s that dgalehouse is always going on about…

do you have an inflatable anthony rendon doll?

lolol

Losing Betts was of course the prime example of this ownership not spending when it should have.

Sounds like budget talk gets into your thoughts, too

In recent years it rarely gets out of my thoughts.

NN what is your excuse. I doubt you get out on the stump very often. You conveniently left out many different venues, publications, and a lot more, and different people than on here.It doesn’t even have to be a majority that what gets constantly discussed than on here.
