    The moves don't move the needle with me, really. Bloom didn't give up much so didn't really get much. 1. I'm excited he dumped Diekman and somehow got a defensive catcher even if it's just a backup for next season. 2. Pham at least provides a better option than what Cora had to put out there. There are still 2 months to play and they can't tank far enough to really affect draft position or anything so what's the point. 3. They've been prepared to move on from Vazquez for a long time. I think his defense is pretty overrated. He's a horrible baserunner and throws the ball around too much.

    Reese is 15th in framing and 30th in pop time. Vazquez is 49th in framing and 15th in pop time. Plawecki is 34th in framing and 75th in pop time.

    What would you have done differently at this moment?
  4. mvp 78
    Now there is a true piece of s***.

    He doesn't need to be around for a long time. He's 34. He's a stop gap. He was traded for a PTBNL or cash.

    It was too little, too late and kinda underwhelming, but there's a half day to go... We'll see what it looks like tonight. If this is all it is, I'd rank it a C+ for now. I wish they traded all their expiring contracts, but there was no way that was ever going to happen. Henry wasn't going to allow it.

    I'm sorry you went through this. I know several people close to me that went through similar things. What McGuire did was purely to himself and nobody else saw except for the police officer. He f***ed up and it will follow him forever.

    Then you'd make a horrible GM and I'm glad you're not making trades.

    The problem is that RSN includes people that sit in the cheap seats, the expensive seats, post on sites like this, call into sports radio, sit at home and watch casually or even obsessively. The grades would be all over the place. It's not what is just on here. It's not what is just on sports radio. Most Red Sox fans are waking up today not even knowing Reese McGuire is on the Sox.

    Maybe trading Vazquez wasn't giving up? They have control over McGuire for 2023, which they didn't have for Vazquez. He's a solid defensive C. His bat is whatever. He's better than Plawecki. He's better than any in house option they had and they can still bring Vaz back in the offseason if they want.

    To save money.

    The plan included Arroyo as a platton RHB though? Yuck!

    The only time I saw them live that season was in OAK. Didn't get to Fenway that year. Nomar only playing 21 games helped tune people out.

    I'm surprised Jay Groome's dad didn't make an appearance.
  15. mvp 78
    Google "Luke Voit Tommy Pham." Pham's first issue wasn't Joc. People have always gotten uppity over him.
  16. mvp 78
    Wasn't 2001 the s***** unlikeable Red Sox team that everyone hated?
  17. mvp 78
    He should have fixed it in the offseason, yes. However, he found a guy now. Why bitch about the move today? Why not say, ok let's see what happens? I have agreed all along that the OF plan sucked. I agreed that it sucked in 2021. I agreed that the bullpen plan sucked in the offseason. Bloom can be criticized for it. However, criticizing him AFTER the trades that you've called for seems weird AF.
  18. mvp 78
    Are these the goalposts we keep hearing about?
  19. mvp 78
    No, not THAT one!
  20. mvp 78
    Maybe it's just for a platoon since he's RHB. wRC+ vs LHP 131
  21. mvp 78
    Vaz is fine. He was a decent catcher with some highlight moments, but ultimately he's replaceable. Let's not pretend they just traded Varitek in 2003. It's up to Bloom to find the replacement.
  22. mvp 78
    People complain over and over again that baseball players are too chummy and they hate it when players yuck it up on the field. However, when you have a guy like Pham who actively says he'll fight the other team, the same people get pissed off about it. You can't eat the whole cake and then be pissed off that the cake isn't sitting on the counter later on.
  23. mvp 78
    Aside from the arrest, have there been other issues with McGuire? Is he a bad teammate? I've never even heard of the guy until last night.
  24. mvp 78
    Tell me you don't actually know what you're talking about without telling me you don't actually know what you're talking about.
  25. mvp 78
    But having a strong performance did help improve his trade stock after some of his recent groaners.
