Being 40-60% is average. C'mon man. That's like saying if you're 49th percentile you're above average. -
I disagree with the multiple year "well he's listed as the top 50 if you cut off innings at this point..." He was average prior to 2023.
-
They weren't saying yes to Betts.
-
And extend Raffy earlier for cheaper money! I just don't understand why the Sox are the way they are.
-
If it goes badly, we're stuck with him!
-
Very bogus too. These are the guys that left before he took over: Holt Pearce Moreland Porcello Cashner Chacin Wright Owings Gorkys Josh Smith That's 10 guys, most of which were at the bottom end of the 40 man. 5 guys to replace. Brought back Moreland. Replaced Holt with Arauz/Peraza. Was it that hard to replace Pearce, Porcello and Cashner? He never tried to replace Porcello. He replaced Cashner with Perez. Pearce was upgraded with Pillar. Nobody is worried about losing Chacin, Wright, Owings, Gorkys Hernandez or Josh Smith. All the other changes were made by Bloom.

They seem to just be running it back this year.
-
Maybe? We just don't know. His focus was probably on Betts at the time. Xander wasn't leaving until '22.
-
Maybe? But why spend the money just to do it? HOU has to worry about Altuve and Bregman in the near future. Maybe they don't want to spend on Bellinger. Cleveland and Cincinnati aren't big spenders. SD is pulling back on spending since their owners death (likely splurged knowing what was going on with his health). The best fit is Chicago, but that ownership is wrapped up with the PGA stuff that Henry is involved in. Cubs and Sox just seem like they are not wanting to put their best foot forward anymore. The lovable Cubbies are getting more of a pass though.

We don't know, but it would have likely been less than what the Padres offered him. Would he have taken the Story deal if they didn't sign Story?

2020 - Perez, Peraza, Pillar, Arauz, Munoz, Puello, Lucroy, Mazza, Springs, Weber, Valdez, Brice, Osich, Covey 2021 - Perez, Richards, Marwin, Sawamura, Ottavino, Andriese, Kiké, Whitlock, Renfroe 2022 - Story, JBJ, Wacha, Hill, Strahm, Diekman 2023 - Masa, Duvall, Mondessi, Tapia, Alfaro, Kluber, Martin, Jansen, Bleier, Joely Maybe moves I didn't like? To me, it looks like he hit on .333 of the above guys. Not really great. Should be closer to .500 IMO.
-
What?!?!? Is this true?
-
Not prior to 2023.
-
They said they were shopping their OFers, but we haven't seen anything happen. Maybe because the FA signings took too long? Maybe there will be an in season move?
-
It's only being brought up because the rumors are still floating around.
-
Probably could have either extended Bogey earlier or just let him go to FA and still had Betts and Raffy. I'm fine with letting Bogey go. You just can't let 2 of the 3 leave town.
-
Trade 1/2 Price. Trade Sale.
-
I feel the same about RF bucko. You save him by playing him in LF. RF in Fenway is like playing CF.
-
And then what happened?
-
Keep Betts and Raffy. Don't sign Story and Masa. They'd be a better team right now.
-
They had offers on the table for Eovaldi and Eflin that were more than 10M.
-
From the defensive metrics, I'd never play Duvall in CF again. He's getting older everyday. I think you could save him by putting him in LF.
-
Truly glorious moves they were!
-
This is the grossest thing I've seen since Sox Appeal.
-
Are you saying that Bloom was A LIAR about it not being AWESOME? I'm going to have to revoke your Red Sox Nation TM citizenship!
