    Similarly, the 2022 Orioles get close enough to sniff a playoff birth and the owners just deal off one of their best relievers and then don't do anything the next offseason. Two historical ballclubs with beautiful ballparks that just have treated their fanbases like garbage.

    It's definitely not Bloom making all the calls by himself, but he's been good at making himself look exceedingly foolish. I agree.
  3. mvp 78
    The only thing that will force a change before the season is if the guys see considerable improvement in ST for someone or if they get eyes on someone they haven't really been able to scout in person before and it changes their opinion.

    I wasn't a fan of the ones at the top of the list this offseason, but there were a few others they should have gone after. But what do I know? I've only been right about everything going back 7 years.

    He's definitely the fallguy since we don't really know the inner workings until the next Alex Speier book comes out.

    Would the Sox give Soto 400M?
  7. mvp 78
    Considerable risk!

    It's embarrassing some of the rosters these teams have trotted out. It wasn't that long ago that the Pirates were in the playoffs and had a lot of buzz in Pittsburgh. The owners just torched it.

    The worst option is to do nothing and just go into the season with him at 3b without an extension.

    May as well start it. SoxProspects just added scouting reports for the guys picked up in the Rule 5 draft. Joe Jacques: https://www.soxprospects.com/players/jacques-joe.htm 93mph FB, slurvy breaking ball, lanky lefty specialist, struggles with RHB Ryan Miller: https://www.soxprospects.com/players/miller-ryan.htm 95mph FB, curve, change, indy ball plus injuries and reverse split last season, misses bats but gives up hard contact

    Houck and Yorke for Berti, Lopez and Garcia is an overpay by the Sox, but it makes more sense than dealing Mayer in a trade for Lopez. Per BTV: Lopez 38.7 MTV Mayer 55.4 MTV

    I'm personally fine with the catching rotation they have now. Put the money elsewhere.
  13. mvp 78
    The better moves would have been prior to the start of the season. The team they constructed didn't seem ready for primetime IMO. It was a team on short contracts that was just itching to be dealt.
  14. mvp 78
    No, because they should be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. I also can't imagine that all their effort is going towards one player right now in constant negotiations. They've NEVER shown that initiative before. Have Bloom and JH deal with the Raffy negotiations and BOH figure out the remaining holes.
  15. mvp 78
    I'd rather him in the pen, but his career numbers haven't ticked up like you'd expect when you put him out there.
  16. mvp 78
    Holy hell that's good...
  17. mvp 78
    2 years of a #2 for Mayer. No. Lopez isn't a guy that's going to lead a staff. If you're trading for an ACE, you gotta bring back at least a guy similar to Manoah, Cease, Gallen... Lopez is much further down that list.
  18. mvp 78
    The teams on the bottom have the money to spend but THEY CHOOSE NOT TO. The Mets are just thumbing their nose at the other owners who are draining their fans dry without putting it back into the team. Don't root for their checkbooks!
  19. mvp 78
    How many other teams have been able to do that?
  20. mvp 78
    I heard there were no guys left to sign.
  21. mvp 78
    fWAR
  22. mvp 78
    They didn't and they weren't going to. If the goal is to build for the future, one meagre run at the playoffs wasn't worth the risk.
  23. mvp 78
    I've also started to see the narrative switch to be: rival gm's all said they would only pay Yoshida 50% of what he got, but the initial story didn't quote gm's, just international scouts which aren't hired to manage payroll. I think that difference is important.
  24. mvp 78
    If that were really the case to you, why aren't you also complaining about the Chris Martin contract? The Sox still have money left to spend. They just aren't spending it. The issue isn't Yoshida, it's Sox ownership not spending what it can.
  25. mvp 78
    There are important things to care about, Yoshida's contract and what he said at the press conference is very low on the list. To me, he's part of the solution, not the problem.
