    Bloom did mess things up for the Sox with the international signings due to his indiscretions.
  2. mvp 78
    Horrible. Not on a Monday morning please.
  3. mvp 78
    I'm fine with doing a full auditing of his moves. Weird to put Valdez in there IMO.
  4. mvp 78
    People saw him as having closer upside. He got 11 saves with the Sox in 2021.
  5. mvp 78
    Sox would have been 6M closer to getting under the lux cap at the trade deadline.

    Yes. Suzuki was a much more consistent hitter and didn't go into extended slumps. Better k% and bb%. Story was great in May, but underperformed the rest of the year. For 2022, Suzuki was the better offensive player. What will Story's career look like post-Coors? We only have 2022 to judge so far.

    I hate when the Sox mortgage their future like this: Red Sox receive: Curt Schilling Red Sox trade: Casey Fossum Brandon Lyon Jorge De La Rosa Mike Goss
  8. mvp 78
    What names were traded that "mortgaged the future" though under Henry? Rizzo?
  9. mvp 78
    If they signed Suzuki, they'd have two holes to fill: 2B and SS. Instead, they have two holes to fill: RF and SS. Story: 6/140, 2 years older, better defense Suzuki: 5/85, 2 years younger, better offense

    Well, you named 5 guys, but he brought in about 30. I wouldn't say he has a strong record of building a pen considering their year to year results out there. If Valdez is one of the bright spots, it says a lot about the job he's done. Yuck!

    Then I guess it was smart to be good in a season when the stadium could only be half full.
  12. mvp 78
    Right now, there are no other bidders for Devers. Sox just need to get it done before the stupid money comes into play.
  13. mvp 78
    Oh no. I'm not saying his contract was a slam dunk by any means. It was better than a lot of the other deals signed though.
  14. mvp 78
    Yankees continually have a pretty good system and they don't typically have early draft picks.
  15. mvp 78
    And it's kind of a wonder that Bloom did not bring in some new blood. The recent track record of the Sox org's talent evaluation isn't great!
  16. mvp 78
    Rafaela signed for 10k. Bello signed for 28k. I highly doubt he knew either guy before the ink on the contract was signed.

    The guy BOS was linked to was: https://www.milb.com/player/jordan-lawlar-691783

    I think he's built up the lower part of the farm and provided depth (see all the starting pitchers that made appearances last year instead of retreads like Brad Peacock that we've seen in recent years). Has it been some amazing, unbelievable job? Not really. He's just stockpiling guys. The fruits of this labor won't be seen for another few years unfortunately. He'll need to keep the important club competitive in that time or lose his job.
  19. mvp 78
    He was fine as a 7th/8th inning guy. He's just not a closer anymore.
  20. mvp 78
    More fans went to Fenway during the horrible, no good Cherington years than in the amazing Dombrowski years. Cherington: 36,151 per game (3 last place finishes and 1 world series) Dombrowski: 36,062 per game (back to back to back AL East titles including world series and one third place season)

    It was their worst attendance per game in a "normal" season since 2000. Peak attendance was 08-12 and I think a large part of the attendance issues are fatigue and price point.
  22. mvp 78
    Suzuki trailed off after a torrid start, but was still a 2 fWAR player. He would have been a good signing at a position they still have a big hole to fill.

    Devers 22: Pull 34% Center 39.4% Oppo 26.6% Ortiz Career: Pull 45.4 Center 34.1 Oppo 24.1

    @SPChrisHatfield Not sure if someone already pointed this out (apologies if so) but pretty sure the Red Sox control Joely Rodríguez for 2025 as well if they pick up his option. Has 3 years, 96 days of service time, so wouldn't be at 6 yet after 2024. Would be arb-eligible for 2025.
  25. mvp 78
    Joely will be on the 40 man though. Crook will be further down on the reserve list. Yes, they have to build a team. Yes, a700 knows this.
