    It just shouldn't be a "head scratcher." We've all made the case for why the trade was done. You just don't want to listen.
  2. mvp 78
    Capital offense? Now who's doing the strawman?
  3. mvp 78
    If you thought they could go over the lux tax cap, it wouldn't be a head scratcher. Also, that wasn't a strawman.
  4. mvp 78
    Sign Suzuki. Trade some prospects for A's pitchers. Call it a day.
  5. mvp 78
    The offseason isn't half over. Maybe they use their prospects to trade for starting pitching? Maybe they think replacing Richards and Perez is easy to do? Maybe they think a full season of a healthy Sale will make up for losing ERod?

    "It's a head scratcher because they definitely won't go over the budgetary estimate that I came up with all on my own." Wild.
  8. mvp 78
    Why are you more concerned about Bloom's budget than he is? If he's not concerned about it, maybe your budget estimate is wrong?
  9. mvp 78
    All you've said is "it's a head scratcher." At this point, you probably need to call up your PCP.
  10. mvp 78
    Sounds like if they just dumped him if he struggled in 2022 that it would be just fine then. So what's all the worry for?

    Maybe Bloom's budget isn't the one you have stuck on your dart board?
  13. mvp 78
    The real decline starts at 35. He's not there yet.
  14. mvp 78
    But why? Bloom clearly values JBJ's glove. He didn't make the move because he was bored.
  15. mvp 78
    That's because you are a good poster.
  16. mvp 78
    If he has a 700 OPS and is playing his typical solid CF, you can hide the bat in the 9 hole. It's more than I'd like to pay, but I think the overall value to the team is better than what we would have had with Renfroe because it also upgrades 2b by moving Kiké there.
  17. mvp 78
    Wrong. If the Sox already wanted to sign Suzuki, they knew they could/should deal Renfroe.
  18. mvp 78
    That happened long before the Sox signed JBJ. Sox felt they didn't like ERod's number and they moved on. It had nothing to do with JBJ.
  19. mvp 78
    No.
  20. mvp 78
    Who? And were the Sox linked to that player before the JBJ trade?
  21. mvp 78
    Unless they were planning on the other deal before trading JBJ (i.e. signing Suzuki).
  22. mvp 78
    On who? They weren't linked to any of the top FA SP's.
  23. mvp 78
    I don't see them trading JBJ. I do see them acquiring many more pieces to fill out the roster though. If not, it's because they have extended Raffy and Xander.
  24. mvp 78
    Maybe they see 2022 as a last go at it with Sale, Xander and JD possibly not being part of the plans in 2023?
  25. mvp 78
    What additional features can we buy that will upgrade Wacha? Power steering? Why do you make so many assumptions about what the budget will be? Don't the Sox have a history of going over when they need to?
