    Bloom said he only wanted to get controllable starters. He reached out on Cease and the ChiSox wanted Bello. https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/btv-2023-trade-deadline-roundup/ The trades the Sox could have done: Yarbrough - Yuck Flaherty - traded for value of Drohan or Walter/Alcantara Lorenzen - traded for value of Romero or Drohan/Meidroth Hill - traded for value of Wikelman/Castro Civale - value of someone better than Yorke, but MLB ready, Sox don't have that guy Lynn - Yuck Giolito/Lopez - value of Yorke and Rafaela Which of those trades are you jumping on? Hill and Flaherty are the only 10/20 trades listed. If they trade for Hill (should have just signed him last offseason) and Flaherty, how much does it improve their chances?

    If he knew the strike zone the way Pedey did, he would already be on the roster. With the way he's hitting, he's forcing the issue though. It's great to see.

    The "apologist" term came around long before people were hot and bothered about bashing. The only thing people ever asked was for people to name who the specific apologists were, but nobody would ever say which posters were the apologists. Why complain about certain posters and posting behavior without saying who they are? It's so weird. Bash him all you want. You do it anyway. We all do it. Who hasn't bashed him about something? When it comes around to this offseason, the team will make some more weird decisions and we'll all dogpile on them again.

    If you "told it like it is" you should be talking about the on going injury issues of JD, Nate, Wacha and Xander's 676 OPS since 5/3. You just like to post about past Red Sox when they are playing well to stick it to the Front Office. Who cares? The players are gone! Worry about the guys that are here! You disappeared for a long stretch last month which just happened to coincide with the Sox playing well. What a surprise! You don't tell it like it is at all. You're just looking for the next rainy day. If you really told it like it is, you'd be more even handed.

    Even the "apologists" complain about the dumb s*** the FO has done. I guess it just hasn't been ENOUGH?

    Having anything good to say is being a "Bloom apologist" even though most of us wouldn't grade him higher than a C and wouldn't be upset if he was fired. Ok.

    Story told management he wasn't ready and that he wanted to use as much time as he was allowed to use. He's forced to come back on Wednesday per the rules. Is this a complaint about Urias? He had 4 hits in the series and looked ok. Looked much better than Arroyo/Reyes/Valdez. He was a 2 fWAR guy the previous 2 years. He can be an MLB starting player until the young guys are ready.

    Wrong Paulino. Eddinson.
  9. mvp 78
    That wasn't the price tag for starting pitching at this deadline. Which trade would you have done that you could easily slide these prospects into. Especially, now that Paulino is ranked 24th in the system, not 9th.
  10. mvp 78
    Always kinda like tha guy!
  11. mvp 78
    Still, the Jays are ADDING to their roster, not taking away? Thinking they'd dump Berrios at his lowest value is kind of silly.
  12. mvp 78
    Jerkoffs.
  13. mvp 78
    The CBO/GM will know the first few rounds of guys. The CBO/GM will know the large IFA contracts. Anyone else is a scout pick.
  14. mvp 78
    No!
  15. mvp 78
    Standing pat at the past two deadlines was the white flag. They should have either bought or sold. If the prices were so high, they should have sold for the future.
  16. mvp 78
    No chance to fall that far. Even if they dealt Turner, Paxton and Duvall, they wouldn't have fallen into bottom 6. The 6th worst team is WAS at 49-63, 15 games under. Sox are 3 games OVER right now. I highly doubt they'd win less than 13 games the rest of the way. That's how bad they'd have to do to get down to that winning %. They are going to go worse than 13-38? No chance.
  17. mvp 78
    Urias looked ok tho?!?! Thought he made Chang look like Ty Cobb?
  18. mvp 78
    Yes, because he was so great at the beginning of last year after not having a Spring Training (596 OPS in APR). Those AB's to get his timing down need to be had at AAA. If he's not ready, he's not ready. It's not about his health, but about him being "baseball ready." A 600 OPS Story isn't winning the Jays series.
  19. mvp 78
    Why would the Jays trade Berrios when they are in the WC running? Is that what he's flipping out about?
  20. mvp 78
    Sanka maybe?
  21. mvp 78
    Would you rather they rushed a trade of a franchise player?
  22. mvp 78
    Yes, you are the ONLY one who has said anything like this.
  23. mvp 78
    Last place is first place if you get the #1 pick... This team is still 3 games above .500. They would get the 14th pick right now. That makes them boringly average.
  24. mvp 78
    They got smoked because of how the team was constructed on April 1, not because of the trade deadline. Trading for a 3rd starter wasn't winning them this series.
  25. mvp 78
    He didn't mock high BECAUSE OF THE NAVAL COMMITMENT.
