    From what I remember, Bloom was ready to deal JD and others after the CV trade, but ownership put the kibosh on it as they didn't want to upset the fanbase.

    Feel free to waste some brain cells today and go find the thread. Dalbec's numbers down in May? Don't worry, they could bounce back! You know it was a cursed season when there was a stork post on nearly every page. 😮‍💨

    He's an 18 year old who OPS'd under 600 in Salem. I'm not sure he's advanced enough to work on going oppo intentionally yet.

    Bad signing and if he's truly as much of a problem for the roster as people say he is, just DFA.

    If you go through the Realistic View 3 thread from 2022, a certain poster was still holding out hope for turn arounds from nearly every offensive player in the middle of June. At the beginning of July, the same poster said the '22 squad was almost as good as the '21 squad and that they just needed a similar trade deadline to get them over the hump. I spent most of the previous offseason posting that the team needed a fire sale and to deal off all the expiring contracts. Nobody liked that. Red Sox would be in a better place today if they had done that considering the return they got for Vaz. They ended up punting on that deadline and punting on the '23-'24 seasons anyway.

    Going oppo will limit his power and the Sox are trying to maximize exit velo. It just doesn't work with the driveline stuff they are trying to implement.

    We need to get rid of this batch of pundits. I think we could do a better job.

    Total "pick me" behavior. Embarrassing.

    C'mon, they aren't going into the red. The distributions to shareholders would just be less than in previous years. And if they took a loss in one year, what's the big deal anyway? How many businesses take a financial loss in one year and shrug it off?

    This FA class wasn't good. I kinda get it if they didn't spend. If they overspend on Bregman, we'll regret it 3-4 years from now.
  13. mvp 78
    This could be nearly every response to anyone's posts these days. We're all just talking past each other.

    I looked and we were discussing the Forbes revenue numbers going back as far as the 09-10 offseason. Thanks A700 and Dipre! Come back and post more!
  15. mvp 78
    Nearly every team has a record payroll. Payroll across the league is at an all time high. Is that due to JH or inflation? If they only go to 260, they either aren't signing Breggie or they are signing Breggie and dealing another salary away.
  16. mvp 78
    They aren't trading Early for two years of Donovan.
  17. mvp 78
    Who are the others? AZ - probably don't have Breggie money if they don't trade Marte CHC - nonserious team for FA's atm TOR - signed Okamoto PHI - team probably needs an infusion of youth instead Unless there is a mystery team, BOS is the fit.
  18. mvp 78
    Anything above 264 pushes the draft picks down 10 spots.
  19. mvp 78
    Attendance was down across the league in '21 and '22. Very cool that in 2025, owners were still complaining that they were unable to spend due to what happened due to COVID. Why is attendance below 2.8M for the first time since 2003? The product on the field has been degraded due to decisions by ownership and the prices are still high. That's kind of on them TBH.
  20. mvp 78
    They are doing their due dilligence and making a "Red Sox" offer. They have done as much with other FA's and have given much lower offers than were accepted later on.
  21. mvp 78
    Oh, and they believe an offer was real, just don't know how "aggressive" it actually was. If it was 6/171, they believe Breggie would have signed.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't know if they hate him. They had him on as a guest and I believe Jared is friendly with him. They like that he's a Boston guy.
  23. mvp 78
    Scouting AND analytics. Not choosing one or the other. Spending a lot on both.
  24. mvp 78
    We talk about it every time the Forbes report comes out.
  25. mvp 78
    Will they spend 300M on payroll? Probably not. If they went to 280ish, I think it'd make most fans happy enough. They are at 243 right now according to SP.
