Maybe too calculated at times. I think the new Sox FO rely too heavily on models vs scouting. We'll have to see how that holds up after a few years.
It's also a little silly to start trying to parse out where to lay blame between Breslow vs JH or whatever (not directed at you). Easier to just say, the FO (Bres/Sam/Theo/JH/Werner) weren't able to sign Bregman because they valued him at one level, didn't really budge off of it and didn't want to waive the no trade clause. We know that to be a fact. If the Sox moved on afterwards, I guess we need to judge the value on the next move vs what they missed out on with Bregman.
1. How do they replace Bregman at 3b and what does it mean for 2b?
2. How does Suarez's contract hold up?
I think that's all that matters. Trying to figure out WHO to blame over the Sox not landing Bregman is near impossible until Speier is able to write his next tell all book.
