The Three Sons are pretty good, though.
-
It almost seems like karmic algebra that Dave traded two starting pitchers who got hurt, and traded for two relievers who got hurt. Or maybe what it says is that pitchers are incredibly fragile and risky assets these days...
-
I don't really disagree. But punting Game 6 of the World Series could be, perhaps, a slightly dubious strategy...
-
Colorful hyperbole!
-
The Rays big hope is that they light up Gonsolin quickly, and force Roberts into a lot of innings from the pen, weakening it for Game 7.
-
It's impossible to predict what will happen in these games. But you're right, beating the Dodgers twice is a tall order for the Rays.
-
I'll agree that it's premature, yes.
-
I think you can take that to the bank.
-
I agree with most of this. But I think 'traded the future' might be overstating it a bit.
-
So he did a lot of good things.
-
100%

I would only add: -Signed Vazquez to extension. -Spent jacksquat on relievers for 2019.

What I pointed out in my reply to your post was that Mookie turned down an offer of at least $300 million from the Red Sox. In Babe Ruth's day there was no free agency. The Red Sox could have kept him as long as they pleased. I think to be fair about this, you have to look at the differences between the two situations.
-
Kenley Jansen has had 6 save opportunities in the World Series, and blown 4 of them. Ouch.
-
Sure, and the guy who lost $100 at the track and the guy who lost $10 million to Bernie Madoff both lost money. Parallel cases!
-
In this case the player made decisions too, He turned down hundreds of millions of dollars from the Red Sox on more than one occasion. But who wants to bother with such little niceties as that?
-
Some GM's totally screw up in that position. It's never guaranteed that your moves will be the right ones.
-
Man are you cynical.
-
Did you really think Bloom could perform a miracle and make the 2020 Red Sox into a good team after trading Mookie, after Sale's surgery, after losing E-Rod to the pandemic, with no payroll room and hardly any prospects? Seriously, the expectations have to be a little tempered some times...
-
Or as some people call it, 60 games in a pandemic LOL
-
Not really LOL
-
Babe Ruth was sent to the Yankees for cash, not even getting any talent back, in the days when the Red Sox could have kept him as long as they wanted. Any parallels drawn with Mookie's situation are mind-bogglingly absurd.
-
These writers are so far over the top, it's incredible.
-
-Theo's Cubs were horrible his first few seasons there. -DD's Tigers were horrible his first few seasons there. Obviously wasn't their fault. They took over rosters in bad shape and turned them around. Same with Bloom's 2020 Red Sox.
-
I trust in Bloom to do the right things, including with the E-Rod quandary.
