    Agree on all except for the Betts comment.
  2. mvp 78
    That's the stuff that really pisses me off, but it goes back to long before these two guys. I really started noticing it after 2011 when they booted Tito and ran him over with a car on his way out. This ownership is filled with horrible people who think there s*** doesn't stink. John Henry and Tom Werner provided the money to win 4 rings, but have also provided an atmosphere that caused some real dogshit seasons.

    1. Betts should have been signed to the LA contract here. Ownership f***ed up. 2. Bogey's initial contract should have been for slightly more $$$ and not had the opt out. 3. Devers should have been extended by now. It was already clear that his bat was going to play for a long time.
  4. mvp 78
    Apples to oranges.

    He was top 15 in fWAR last season. He was top 15 when I ran fWAR for the past 5 seasons. He's probably top 15.

    Maybe it was a ploy that Xander saw through which put the season on the wrong foot and they never recovered from. "We lowballed Xander and all we got was the 14th overall pick and some comp guys."
  7. mvp 78
    If Henry doesn't want to pay guys after age 35, he needs to extend then prior to hitting arbitration.
  8. mvp 78
    He's not a true power guy, he's a classic on base guy who has won a few batting titles. If it translates to doubles here, that's fine. He supposedly goes the opposite way well, which should work well at Fenway.
  9. mvp 78
    I would trade him for sure.
  10. mvp 78
    Unfortunately, time to trade Raffy... As an adult, don't have a favorite player...
  11. mvp 78
    Yes, they should have traded Xander, Eovaldi, JD and others last offseason. I agree.
  12. mvp 78
    OF: Yoshida, Kiké, Conforto is better than 2022 IF: 1B is better, SS is a downgrade, loss of Xander affects Raffy how much? C: about the same as last season if I'm being honest SP: Sale, Paxton, Whitlock, Bello, Pivetta has higher potential than last year especially if they add in another arm like Kluber RP: 2023 pen is going to be way better and it's not close The only real downgrades to me are DH and SS. JD was a 1 fWAR guy last year at DH. I think the Sox can figure that out piecemeal, it will just be offbrand. The drop from Xander to Andrus won't be seen defensively, but he's a bottom third of the order bat.

    @MikeSilvermanBB Scenes from San Diego airport: Bloom “looked shell-shocked at times.” From ⁦@byJulianMack "Old Red: Great Read, it was a 10/10!"
  14. mvp 78
    Does it matter if JD is on the Sox or elsewhere? Guys know what EVERYONE is paid.
  15. mvp 78
    Bloom: We'll give you 1/40.
  16. mvp 78
    12/380? Cubbies?
  17. mvp 78
    For now, the power is Story and Casas. We don't know of Yoshida's power will translate to much more than what Verdugo already has. Will there be more moves? Is Dalbec a platoon DH/OFer?
  18. mvp 78
    Bloom is planning San Diego North East.
  19. mvp 78
    An embarrassing charade for sure. All their PR ******** just needs to stop. I don't want the front office to be an icky used car salesman. Just run a baseball team and shut the f*** up.
  20. mvp 78
    If they all walk and Bloom isn't fired, it tells us that it was an ownership call. 100% They need to be more aggressive in extending their own guys like they did with Whitlock. Maybe Bloom has the willingness to do it, but the Sox have just let it go too long in the past? IDK
  21. mvp 78
    Suzuki's contract has been fine so far. Kim (Korean, not Japanese) struggled adjusting in 2021, but more than made up for it last season. Those two guys are the most recent offensive talents to cross the Pacific.
  22. mvp 78
    It means the Sox need to either extend Raffy now or trade him. Like do it today.
  23. mvp 78
    I was thinking the Sox would have to move him to 3b/LF/RF at some point. We'll see what the Padres will do with him. The power decrease was dramatic last season and I do remember MANY posters on here complaining about his RBI totals and him not being able to get it done in the clutch.
  24. mvp 78
    If he had played in MLB, it's probably 200M if you look at what has been handed out this offseason. Seems like the "value play" that Bloom talks about.
  25. mvp 78
    Maybe it translates, maybe it doesn't. There's a risk with every FA signing.
