    He just hasn't said it out loud yet. Mentally, he's already there.

    Cora already came out and said Story would be the SS in '26. I like Cora, but sometimes he needs to know when to shut it.

    What good is speed if you have to move a platinum glove defender off position?
  4. mvp 78
    Well you should because that's reality. That's the way of the world.
  5. mvp 78
    Look, you have to realize that's just reality. You have to call up your stooges at the Globe whenever someone leaves your organization. It's just the way it is.

    We're talking about baseball here.
  7. mvp 78
    Sorry, but PR is just the way of the world.

    I think the problem comes down to a few too many recent seasons of them saying they are going for it or going to be playoff contenders or full throttle or what have you and then really just halfassing it. I think that's why the fanbase has a right to be critical of JH at the moment. Were at the point now where it's show me, don't tell me. We've heard that there are internal spending limits that have been set. The positional side of things is still unfinished right now, so we'll have to see where they go from here.

    They have a world-class CFer. Let Duran be pedestrian in LF.
  10. mvp 78
    Better defender, not worth the contract.
  11. mvp 78
    Less about fans and media and more about just missing out on Bregman.
  12. mvp 78
    The team leader can't be a guy who craps all over himself whenever he pops up.
  13. mvp 78
    How many DHs can they fit on this 40 man?
  14. mvp 78
    1. Lose two more picks and more INTL $? 2. Bad defender? 3. His -0.3 bWAR in 2024? 4. 12th percentile bat speed?
  15. mvp 78
    I think they are both professional TBH. They just have different skillsets.

    Bloom grew the farm through the draft and signed a bunch of low end 40 man guys. He would just churn the bottom of the roster. He'd make a big signing here and there (Story/Masa), but he wasn't as active as Breslow. Breslow completely revamped the whole pitching development and it looks entirely different than what it did at the end of 2023. He's focused on raising the ceiling of the MLB pitching and we saw the team get carried to the playoffs last year because of it. I don't think Bloom was capable of doing that. Would Breslow have been able to add Roman Anthony in the 2nd round like Bloom did? IDK. Both guys struggled at the trade deadline. Breslow has been far better in the offseason. I think Breslow has been a little hamstrung with some of the contracts left over by Bloom, but it wasn't a complete disaster TBH. Breslow is very model driven. Bloom was better at balancing scouting with the models.

    So maybe no Paredes, Donovan or Marte then? Wonder who the IF will be?
  18. mvp 78
    PHI really wants Bo, I don't think the Sox are really all in on him.
  19. mvp 78
    Bregman didn't really want him last year. Maybe he didn't really want him this year?
  20. mvp 78
    All of it.
  21. mvp 78
    Being a slash defender means you're probably a mediocre defender at multiple positions.
  22. mvp 78
    Bichette has less RBI than Duran over the past 3 years.
  23. mvp 78
    Worst 3b DRS since '23: 1. Vientos -20 (now a 1B/DH) 2. Devers -18 (now a DH) 3. Suarez -13 (should be a 1B/DH) Bohm is a -12 too, so I don't want him here either.
  24. mvp 78
    You'd trade Bello because the return would be greater than a return for Crawford plus potpourri. Dealing Campbell now could be dealing him at his lowest value. At least let him reclaim some value in AAA this season. Sox are still high on him. The only trade to really free up money would be a Sandoval deal. The others are just swapping assets IMO. Sox have a diminished farm right now, they could add to it with some deals that also give them some salary relief.

    I don't know how many people were saying he won't, just that "he hadn't" since 2019. This is the first time he's gone over the 2nd threshold in a long time. He retracted his spending. There were reports from Speier that they wouldn't go over the 2nd threshold, but now they have. You can't be mad at people for listening to Alex Speier, a guy with real, insider knowledge. My guess is that they wanted Bregman, got pie in the face and pivoted to Suarez. Now they need to go out and find a cheaper solution at 2B or 3B. They wouldn't have signed Suarez if they had signed Bregman.
