Please, don't bring Weber back!

How about Hansel Robles instead?

Much better, actually.

So it's actually 8 times in 2 seasons.

If you are counting Robles, someone who became a FA, did not go to another team and was re-signed, then others like Martin Perez, Moreland and others would count.

Well he counted Shaw twice and that’s what happened the second time…

Correct. Whatever criteria is used, it's a lot. I just find it mildly interesting/amusing.

Especially since he’s only been GM/whatever since after the 2019 season…

Durran sent down. Strange. So OF is Verdugo, Kike, and JBJ with a sprinkle of JDM vs lefties. Who is the 4th OFer?

Not a surprise. The Red Sox were not going to put a top

100 prospect on the bench and have him not play, especially a top 100 prospect who needs to work on his defense and therefore be on the field every game.

 

But the question of the 4th outfielder (and really, the last two bench spots) is something I’ve been asking for a while..,

I suppose this recently DFAd guy fits Bloom’s multiposionsl definition of a bench player.

Of course, do they have anyone they would DFA to accommodate him? (The have players I would DFA, but anyone Bloom would?)

They've also been throwing Arroyo and Dalbec out there during practice. A few people have mentioned Franchy and Refsnyder, but they'd need to be added to the 40 man.

I suspect Shaw on the MLB roster, but he also requires someone to be DFAd…

[mvp 78]

Two years in a row where the OF plan has been very murky.

Has he played any OF in ST?

[moonslav59]

Are they not good enough, yet, to put out there in a ST'ing game?

Good word choice: "murky."

No idea.

Bloom bought low and sold high on Renfroe last year. Now it seems he is doing it on JBJ

Arroyo apparently played the OF on Sunday.

Can't see anyone being a buyer of JBJ.

We were the buyer. We "bought low," despite the financial cost being high.

Jacko mentioned Bloom buying low and selling high on Renfroe and that he was doing the same thing with JBJ. I was just saying that I don't see him selling high on JBJ at any point.

Wouldn't he have to find a buyer who would buy high (who some may argue would have to be high)?

I think he "sold high" by not bringing him back after a nice 2020 season. I know that is a bit convoluted, as we got nothing back for JBJ, except another no tax season, but I think that was the thought.

I know weed strains are now way stronger than they were 30 years ago, but I'm not sure there's a strain strong enough for another GM to take on JBJ.

Found the guy who would never waste his time with mids.

There were, but the gummies still haven't been restocked in stores after being sold out at the beginning of the pandemic (a good teacher might call that out for generalities and lack of elaboration, devoid of specific details from personal experiences -- and then double up on ellipses...)...

Speak your truth.

Well don’t forget JBJ is currently on a contract written by another GM…
