June 29, 2023, Miami at Fenway for the Sweep

History has shown us time and time again that in the current baseball climate, money doesn't buy wins. How 'bout them Mets? -

This is a bad team. Wait for 2024. -
Of course, because the game has evolved, and they have to evolve along with it. You have penalties for over-spending on the payroll, finite money to spend on drafts, finite money to spend on international players. It only makes sense that they'd try to emulate what the teams who are sustainably winning are doing, just as they did when they started emulating moneyball and built a take-and-rake juggernaut with Epstein.
-
That is not the objective, as described by Bloom Himself. The objective is building a sustainable winner without inefficiently spending money. Henry's one of the owner that's been burned the most with expensive, sunk-cost contracts and having to spend over market value because of a lack of system depth. You'd think then, that a billionaire would look for a way to make his club as efficient and effective as possible. The strategy of only throwing money at the wall is no longer yielding results. Teams like Houston and the Dodgers spend big on key free agents, but supplement with a solid farm system.

Eovaldi left of his own volition, but he could've re-signed mediocrity made pitcher and the lefty hammer for sure.
-
"I wish I was there".- Jared Fogle, almost certainly
-
Based on what? The fact that he wants to make the team's spending more efficient and the team itself more of a sustainable winner doesn't mean he's not all in on winning.
-
"f*** them kids".-moonslav59, probably.
-
Lotta assumptions. But we have some actual facts: 2004, 2007, 2013 and 2018.
-
So you're all of: A) Assuming he's disconnected from the team, which is almost certainly untrue, but Unwilling to give him credit for the Sox winning four championships when he's the owner of the team. Kind of unfair if you ask me. Poor John "The Reptilian Iluminati" Henry.
-
Lots of hilarious comments. "Just as perfect as his backhand". Some youtube comments sections are golden.
-
He just said we got two top 15 prospects for a mere 2 months of Vasquez.
-
E for effort.
-
There's that word that the Sox are always lacking in the pitching pipeline and MLB level: Depth.
-
...and he writes the checks.
-
Henry knows you have to spend money to make money. But spending money efficiently is always better than wasting money. I think that's what they're going for.
-
I agree with this take. I like some of the kids (Especially Casas) but this team is kind of weird. That's what I meant when I said they're not cohesive. One of the most important things for a team to be fun is for them to play clean baseball and provide exciting moments on both sides of the ball. This team does not play clean baseball and feels a bit subdued.
-
Oh he'll have a second TJS. Throws too hard, too many sweepers, and also hits every day.
-
Probably. And that's assuming they can fill the 2B position by '25, which is a fair assumption, but still an assumption.
-
That's if it even is a Bloom move. That's the problem, we just don't know.
-
I'm against giving Ohtani what he's going to command. He will miss 2 prime seasons because of TJS. Book it.
-
That's a very good point.
-
We'll see, but he wants to play SS. Something tells me that's not going to end well. I'll be honest, I never liked the Story contract. Here's hoping he makes me eat crow.
-
Right on point.
-
....if he can throw.
