He gets credit for the wins and losses. He gets credit for bringing Sale here. He gets credit for trading away Betts. He gets credit for 04, 07, 13, 18. He gets credit for 11 collapse, 12, 14, 15, 19.
Is there a difference?
Being a rubber stamp is giving your approval to the move without thinking about it. That doesn't remove your responsibility. Arguably, that could be worse than lording over.
I'm way less miserable than a lot of people on here. Don't confuse snark for misery.
I'm a little sad that Betts is gone, but I'll be over it by the time Northeastern is beating up on the Red Sox.
Yes, but I would imagine JH would realize the implications of those contracts and how it affects the luxury tax. Ultimately, it's his call because he's the boss.
You'd get far more assets if you moved that player BEFORE the season. Not sure what other movable asset they have right now.
Yes:
Benny
ERod
Maybe:
Vaz
Barnes
Not unless you eat a lot of salary:
Eovaldi
JD Martinez
Sale
JBJ
To me, trading Xander and Devers is a non starter. If they moved anyone else, I wouldn't be too upset.
Does bringing Dalbec up make Chavis expendable? Move Dalbec instead?
When you realize that Henry had finally say on all of those contracts.....................

I mean, people were upset that he was kept over Lakins, but then Lakins was waived by the Cubs anyway. Maybe the roster spots of 35-40 are really just Weber bad?
Why else are they holding onto him then? Does he have a good spin rate or something? There is nothing about his stuff that pops out to me. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ryan-weber/10160/stats?position=P#pitchvalues
