Sort of, yes.
-
I was just referring to this developing story.
-
Yeah, I really don't think the plan was to start making moves in mid-January.
-
Wait till all the facts come out please.
-
Seriously, how can McAdam possibly know that?
-
Oh yeah. And I'm a big Henry fan. But we can't forget that he personally stuck the knife in Ben and hired DD, knowing exactly what DD's game was.
-
I think if there's blame John Henry deserves a share too. He's been a great owner, but I don't think his grumbling about the payroll and the tax was necessary at all.
-
What's interesting is that Dodgers fans are apparently complaining quite loudly about the team's offseason, so much that Kasten went public to defend the front office's approach and spending.
-
But it is still a matter for debate. Which isn't to say you don't have a strong argument.
-
Leongate fell through and turned back to restgate.
-
Maybe the Sox picked the wrong time to attempt a re-set, and maybe no other teams are particularly interested in helping them out.
-
Ticket sales have to be impeded by the team's uncertain state. It's January 7 and we still have no clue if Betts, Price, Eovaldi, JBJ or possibly JDM will be on the team. It's starting to feel like a bit of a fiasco.
-
Thanks.
-
No, but he has often let others speak on these matters. You might remember this Lucchino guy... It's reported that Henry actually owns only about 40% of the shares. He's 'principal shareholder', but he doesn't own a majority of shares, so he can't make any decisions on his own. He needs Werner's support.
-
Except there have been further statements from the FO since then, echoing the walk-back theme.
-
I don't necessarily disagree, but what do we know about how ticket sales are doing? Maybe the King of Talksox could give us some observations on that. Right now the average Sox ticket buyer has to be rather befuddled about what team he's going to be seeing.
-
And how are ticket sales going?
-
But meanwhile you're penciling in Severino and Montgomery for 2020 full health and effectiveness...
-
Not sure why you're so convinced. They backpedaled on the re-set statement almost immediately, first saying it wasn't a mandate and then saying the top priority was a competitive team.
-
So what though? Over 162 games the difference between 40% and 60% is 32.4 wins. It's a very large difference.
-
You're saying the 27.5 million dollars wouldn't impact the Padres financially?
-
You've been saying things like this: Losing Bryce Harper clearly didn't end any chances of a Washington World Series title
-
The list of teams that would have any interest in trading for Mookie has to be extremely short. It's just a pile to give up for a one year rental. And as notin keeps pointing out, how much of a difference can one player make to a team for one year?
-
It's the cost plus only one year of control. Check me if I'm wrong, but he would be by far the most expensive 1 year rental in history. It's been widely reported that the salary cost is a major hindrance to other teams' interest.
-
#2 and #3 are pretty closely related.
