Xander Bogaerts has signed with San Diego Padres

[moonslav59]

OK. So show me, as a Bloom apologist, the positivity in getting rid of 6 or 7 of the best and most popular RS players. Players that we have followed for years, have been very productive, and by and large model citizens. Why we should feel good about that?

 

You call me out for trying to defend Bloom on things I disagree on, and yet you tear down Sox players based on innuendos. Get lost!

 

You remind me of Swihart's Ghost who literally bashed 35 out of the 40 men on the roster and everyone from the ballboy to Henry, and called himself a Sox fan. What a joke!

Over $100M for Yoshida does not fit that mold. Not that many months ago, he signed Story to $140M.

 

Are these guys child molsters?

 

No. They are not pitchers either. If I said Bloom only signs low cost pitchers, should you have made the same post?

 

I will rephrase for clarity, when Bloom signs a reprobates, they are low cost.

What was the name of Manny’s suspected drug pusher? Another upstanding guy.

Not bad.

[mvp 78]

That's correct. But when Bloom signed him, he had NOT been cleared of these charges. It wouldn't mean much, except for the rest of the guys Bloom has signed who were signed at the height of their legal difficulties. Bloom knows a good deal when he sees it. And character-guys like Betts and Vaz, why, you actually need to pay them what their value is, and no way he's doing that.

 

That's incorrect.

[mvp 78]

It happened in 2015, he was cleared a long time ago, and well before the trade. The media just brought it up and labeled him an “off the field risk” when realistically he’s done nothing, he didn’t even do anything that night, he was at the wrong place when something horrible happened and was questioned.

So wait… are you accusing him of shopping for reprobates at a discount?!?. I mean, do people want a better grade of reprobate?!?

Me to. Also looking at Buchholz in a whole new light..

I am not taking a position or expressing a preference for anything. I am just stating a fact.

Chaim Bloom letting Xander walk is going to be one of the worst mistakes ever made in Boston

 

Mookie trade and Xander walking are slightly behind the marathon bombing for obvious reasons

It's ultimately going to com e down to JH's decision, but will always be linked to Bloom.

 

Devers would make the hat trick.

If Devers is let walk too, Henry should be forced to sell the team. He literally makes the fans penises shrink whenever a decision is made. He and his sports group also just got confirmed to be the group that will be getting an expansion NBA team in vegas. maybe he is saving money with his small dick energy to make lebron happy and to make his NBA prokect ake him more money. hes won enough with red sox and probably doesnt care anymore

There is no guarantee the next guy will spend even as much as JH, which by the way, is still top 7 or 8 in MLB.

in order to buy a team like the Red Sox, especially in this economy, you need Steve Cohen money. Look what he is doign with mets, even if they dont win, he cares. John Henry is being a cheap ass and many believe he is focused on other ventures, while letting 3 future hall of famers walk.

[StephenCurry30]

owners get NO SYPMATHY for no spending, and for not taking care of their stars. xander bogaerts should've never had a chance to hit free agenc

[redsoxrules]

I agree. If I read correctly, the Sox are the 3rd highest revenue in MLB at 479 Million. Henry needs to start writing bigger checks. He could go bananas like Cohen and he would not be losing any money.

One could say the same about just about every owner in MLB, even the lowest spending ones. If they all felt like Cohen, what would happen?

All the owners should be held to a certain standard. It is a miracle fans continue rooting for teams like the Pirates who make 3x as much as they spend in just television deals, and make a ridiculous profit each season, while putting together some of the worst rosters we'll ever see, never pay any stars, ship them off when its time to pay them and rinse and repeat.

Not quite. There are 17 teams that make below 300 Million in revenues. Mind you they could certainly still spend quite a bit but not like what Cohen is doing. In the Sox case they have an advantage
