  1. This post is gobbledygook. The bullpen plan has sucked for the past 3 years. It has made no sense. The OF plan was confusing as hell last year and just as confusing this year.
  2. I could have done it And the COVID blah blah blah is just nonsense to make you feel better that the Sox let Mookie leave for little in return.
  3. IMO, you don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Cora has won a WS and got to the ALCS last season. Bloom had a throw away year, a very successful year and then a disappointing year. I think he needs to be given time because his goal was to grow the franchise from the bottom up, not the top down. Honestly, he's done a s*** job with the bullpen and outfield construction specifically. I don't like the Story signing. I think they should have re-signed/extended Mookie, Xander and Devers (the big 3). I can't complain about the results from last season or the turnaround in the farm system. It's been a mixed bag.
  4. His current rehab assignment is live games in Salem. It's not like he's hanging out at the complex.
  5. If he kept spending and kept trading, it would have been fine.
  6. That must be how the Rays do it.
  7. Is someone arguing the MLB team isn't a mess?
  8. It's an extra $10 per ticket for the Mookie surcharge in LA. I would have paid it.
  9. There's nothing wrong with criticizing Bloom, just have a coherent argument to put forth.
  10. Also, nerds and clones would be 2 different conspiracies.
  11. I don't think they "showcase" the 2024 guys earlier in 2023. I think that really screws up their timeline.
  12. Mata is on the 40 man and pumping 100. He's going on a rehab assignment. The clock is ticking with him. The best use for him this season is out of the pen. May as well have him pitch in BOS.
  13. There won't be 10 holes this offseason that will go unfilled. Give me a break. Cliff 2.0.
  14. Bloom would have just wasted it on some reliever retread that we'd all want to DFA.
  15. "We have too many holes to fill to spend on Devers and Xander for the next 5 years." If the farm can't fill those holes within 5 years, Bloom should be sent to the moon.
  16. Renfroe went on a HR tear, but then cooled off and went on the IL. I'm not sold that JBJ will catch up with Renfroe. Would a 3 fWAR Renfroe have made a difference for the 2022 Red Sox? I don't think so. I think Bloom was smart to make the deal. I think they are happy with what they have seen with Binelas so far.
  17. @Jared_Carrabis Mookie Betts on April 26: .190 with a .646 OPS. Mookie Betts MLB ranks since April 26: .362 BA (5th), .762 SLG (2nd), 1.186 OPS (2nd), 47 hits (3rd), 14 HR (1st), 24 XBH (2nd), 99 total bases (1st). Just remember, we need to make sure we care about Henry's wallet and not re-sign the best ballplayers we have.
  18. MRS STORK must have run out of Aquaphor.
  19. Have I told you about the crack medical staff the Sox have? That comment is a throwback to another poster. Me? I have a lot of respect for the Sox staff because they have been a long time employer (19 years) of Russell Nua. I don't believe the medical staff is any less or more competent than any other MLB staff.
  20. I was told it was market rate, but cheap because it was signed before he went to FA. Is that what we are going with here? Is that the consensus? I look at it now and it doesn't really look cheap to me.
