    It depends on what the expectations are, right? If he was on a minimal contract for 8 years, the Sox are getting a crazy return. I just think the Sox could have received more if they waited. How much? I don't know because I don't work in baseball operations. We all know that prices get higher at the deadline. They just wanted him gone sooner than later and had a trade that was good enough. The trade was most likely never going to be enough to make me happy for sure.

    It's good sportsmanship.

    Numb may be how Gio's arm feels after the cross country flight. Look forward to see what this lineup card looks like.

    You'll see. Don't waste your time.

    They aren't going to spend that this year. They spent that on one of the best hitters in MLB. With their history, that money is not going to be wisely spent. You know this. The cost to replace his production? 30M or more!

    It's frustrating because I think you need to be able to do both: understand the analytics and see that the players are actual human beings that don't function as 0's and 1's in a program or on a spreadsheet. Cold weather impacts performance. Bad managers impact performance. Not being happy where you live impacts your performance.

    He's not going to listen to you about defense, moon.

    Maybe there's value? I can't be happy about the phrasing "we need to give it a few years to see how these guys pan out" to feel like it's not going to be very good. If one of these guys was a LEGIT prospect, we'd be hearing that. We've been absolutely sold on some mediocre guys that have come this way. Rubby de la Rosa! Allen Webster! Connor Seabold! Jeter Downs!

    I don't know how robust would be, but if they wanted the "best" offer they'd wait it out. They were just interested in getting it done quickly.

    It's easy to be mad at Devers for "not hustling" or "not playing 1b" because those are things that you see on the field. I think the FO really needs to be held to task for their part.
  12. mvp 78
    What would they trade? They young pitching they want to hoard? Jhostynxon? Romero? Aside from that, all their talent is way down in the lower minors.
  13. mvp 78
    🫣 It's just frustrating. You want to be invested in the team and they do this nonsense right when fans start to get excited again. They've 100% decided to punt this year. There's just no way they can get into the playoffs now. Without Raffy, the top of the order looks even more ST than before. I don't expect Toro/Romy to produce all year. I don't even expect Narvaez to hit as well as he has. All the catching will wear on him. Masa needs to get on a hot streak. And Breggie can't cool down. Anthony/Mayer/Campbell aren't going to be 850 OPS guys this season. They'll be streaky, but you can't count on them they way you will be able to in future years. Story? Rollercoaster.

    What was reported was that he "considered asking for a trade in ST." He didn't ask for one. I don't see any reputable Red Sox reporters saying he asked for a trade.
  15. mvp 78
    A starting pitching prospect who is in AAA that Bailey couldn't help in SF, Joe Kelly 2.0, a lottery ticket and
  16. mvp 78
    That hasn't been reported.
  17. mvp 78
    You think they'll b 5th in MLB without their best hitter? 🤢
  18. mvp 78
    We know how JH works. They dumped the whole contract. They got NOTHING back. They did it right after a sweep of the Yankees when they got above .500. They did it right before they'll have to face Devers in SF! They don't give a crap what the fans think, just how much JH's wallet weighs. It's the same story over and over.
  19. mvp 78
    Not good pitching. Warm bodies?
  20. mvp 78
    If they wanted the best offer, they'd wait until the deadline when the prices are higher. The return is awful. Garbage. You can't sell me on these guys.
  21. mvp 78
    100%. They don't deserve him because they are awful fans, but whatever.
  22. mvp 78
    Why should I be bothered about his contract?
  23. mvp 78
    Get to look forward to the MLB draft now! Maybe a higher pick next year!!! 😎

    They most certainly wanted to get out from under the contract. Once he was at DH, they wanted cost savings. When JH went to have that summit, it was all over for everyone involved. They were on a trajectory of Devers leaving. JH is never around the team anymore. He was on the field today. He wanted the deal done. I've said all along just watch the last little bit of Moneyball. That's where JH still is. His valuation of players is far behind where the market is. Breslow just had no interest in doing his job and communicating to his players this offseason. He lied to Devers and told him that there was nothing to worry about with Bregman. Then they signed Bregman and still didn't talk to Devers about what the plans were. Crazy!!! Devers gets to ST and nobody has spoken with him about what the plans are. They finally talk to Devers (after the media gets to him LOLOLOL) and he moves to DH telling him to not worry about playing the field this year. Surprise surprise, they need to backtrack on that. Why should Devers all of a sudden run to 1B to play a position he's never played? They asked him to be DH. He didn't have a relationship with Breslow because Breslow never initiated. This issue won't be just a Raffy thing with Breslow. It'll happen with other vets and the young guys and FA that they want to sign. When Breslow can't communicate, it's going to negatively impact the Boston Red Sox.

    I think Breggie was a good get, but only because it was short term. He's a guy that may not age well and has had injury issues. Well, the injury issues cropped up again this year. The 6-7 year deal would have been too much for him IMO.
