If they offered more than 300M, they would have told us. This ownership group leaks worse than my old shed.
-
Or 350m?
-
I'm not complaining. If we keep refining the conversation, maybe we'll get better at it.
-
Per BTV Quantrill for Wikelman Gonzalez Seabold
-
The organization is very similar to what it was back in 2016. Whether the guys who scouted Cal are still there or not, it's hard to know.
-
Once an OFer is pitching, he's no longer and OFer, he's actually a pitcher by rule.
-
There's comfort in having this same conversation again.
-
Without that counteroffer from ownership, we'll never know unfortunately.
-
I would have signed Montero for that because he would have been the closer in BOS. Diaz was a lot of money and wasn't leaving NY. The worst contract though was Suarez for 5/46, a 32 year old with less than 50 career MLB innings. That's crazy to me.
-
Mookie was traded.
-
Having just 1 Martin Perez removes all value any remaining 2018 Red Sox players could have. I mean, that guy couldn't possibly have been good in 2021 or later.
-
I don't view it as a fluke, you stated it was a fluke. I've said over and over that the 2021 squad had many of the same players as the 2018 squad.
-
It matters because you've been complaining about the cliff since as long as I can remember.
-
If the cliff is only really one down year, who cares? Why post about it endlessly for year on end?
-
On one hand you say things like "some of use predicted tough times ahead" and couch it with 2021 being a fluke year stuck between 2020 and 2022. However, you also said: C'mon man... You can't say you predicted "tough times" but then have your own Realistic View Part II thread state a prediction of 92 wins for 2022... At least stick with the same argument. The cliff WAS 2020 for you. Bloom used magic and wits to get back to the ALCS in 2021. The cliff is gone... You said so last offseason. If there is poor performance now, it's due to Bloom and not due to the cliff...
-
But you were wrong since the team was really good in 2021. You can't just dismiss 2021 as a fluke because it doesn't fit your narrative.
-
You are saying the loss of Price and Mookie's 60M and their contribution was the cliff. The money is just the money. Price's onfield contribution wasn't all that great TBH.
-
Seems like the bigger cliff would have been 2022 after all these FA's left including Xander? Everything prior to 2022 should have been still in the window.
-
I think saves are a stupid stat. I don't typically use them as any sort of metric on here. By definition, the save can ONLY go to the pitcher.
-
2.4 fWAR. I don't see many people adding Porcello to the cliff talk here. That was his fWAR too in 2018.
-
The cliff forced Bloom to go with a 3 man rotation and fill the pen with AAA guys.
-
They were declining, but still ended up in the ALCS in 2021 after going over the cliff?
-
Did you watch the whole video of #2, not just the first catch? There were a few catches that were basically Beni's catch.

For ALL the marbles... and maybe some pogs too.
