    Taillon is another guy who has come back from 2 TJs, isn't he? It seems possible to me that medical science in this area might improve as it goes along. Admittedly any such improvement might be offset by the "max effort on every pitch" approach to pitching...

    Can't always rely on the BTV numbers for realistic trades though. If the Pirates would actually trade Jones for Abreu plus that 10+ other it would probably be done already.

    Hey, they've been going all out to win...as many as they lose, or thereabouts.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Such wonky analysis. 2018-2021 was plenty of innings. The IP totals the last 3 years are god-awful. But that tends to be the case with TJ surgeries.

    JH is 75 freakin' years old. His looks never change so some may not be aware how advanced he is. Time to lighten up and have a little fun again before it's too late, no, John?

    Also, last offseason we heard the Sox don't think highly of his stuff, which was one of the few reasons we've heard for not signing a guy that actually make sense...
  7. Bellhorn04
    I think it's a sign of how skeptical Sox fans have become that hardly anyone thinks the Sox are serious about signing Burnes, who is clearly the premier starting pitcher available. We're all thinking Pivetta or Buehler or Manaea or...nothing. Even Flaherty feels like a longshot. And they haven't really done much about the pen except for one signing that generated more yuck than anything. Vibes are still really weird.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Oh, I'm not sold that Buehler is back either. I think the bottom line for me as a fan is that a Buehler signing would inject a little excitement. I like the Crochet trade, but in general Red Sox offseasons continue to be dreadfully dull and disappointing affairs.

    You have a pretty good sense of humor for a Yankee fan. 😊

    Massively different profiles and risks. But moon likes to keep things simple. And right now just about everything on planet Earth looks less risky to him than Buehler...
  11. Bellhorn04
    Your second "less risky than Buehler" post in the last 12 hours LOL Montgomery's 2025 salary is 22.5 mill. If Buehler gets the projected 15 mill, it seems like Monty would put 50% more money at risk.

    BTW the Kluber signing was not a horrible signing. Nobody complained that loudly. Mind you the market was down to a few scraps when he signed. Didn't seem to be much competition for him. It was the fact that it was the only starter signing that offseason that was horrible.
  13. Bellhorn04
    And only 0.8 bWAR. So it was a "system-dependent" year, crappy by one system, decent by another. Pointing out a 6+ year age difference is lazy and unjustified? That's one of the nuttiest statements I've read here this year.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Buehler is a lot younger than Kluber was. Honestly, I think one of the biggest reason Buehler is being advocated by a few of us is that we're so conditioned to this team not wanting to spend much money on starting pitching. Taking a shot at Buehler for $15 mill or whatever seems better than nothing. We can be pretty sure Burnes is not a realistic target.

    "Left him to rot" - the tax loophole thing wasn't really DD's fault...
  16. Bellhorn04
    I'm with you on the Buehler train, man.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Look folks, they tried for Soto and they tried for Fried. That's some really big trying for this year. They're kind of worn out now. But they'll try again next year.
  18. Bellhorn04
    The Yanks actually balked at giving him a suite because Judge and other stars have always paid for theirs. Obviously the money is the biggest decider but it seems like Cohen also made a strong impression by treating Soto like royalty in every way.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Cohen not only went to $765 million, he: -gave an opt out after 5 years that the Mets can void by adding $40 million to the remaining deal and making it $805 million. -gave Soto and his family the use of a luxury suite at the park plus God knows what other perks. Even the Yanks had to give up at that point.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Well, it was my theory that our only shot was if he really bought into the Dominican Connection stuff. Obviously that was not the case.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Yes, they get ballsy on the silent auctions for some reason. We need more of them LOL
  22. Bellhorn04
    FWIW the speculation is that Cora and Kennedy are high on signing Bregman but Breslow is not.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Whatever you want to think. They just tossed in the towel twice to NY on Soto and Fried, and as much as I don't really want to quote STORK, the facts are not in dispute.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Well, it's a misunderstanding then. All I really meant was that if Cohen decided he was prepared to get really stupid - which he obviously was - Henry would simply toss in the towel. But it's also true that Cohen has more money than Henry, so it's true that he could always be the high bidder.
  25. Bellhorn04
    When I said we couldn't outbid Cohen, I meant we couldn't outbid him without reaching an amount that was much crazier/stupider than John Henry would be willing to reach. And that's exactly what happened. But Steve Cohen didn't stop John Henry. John Henry stopped John Henry. I said the Red Sox only shot was if Soto really wanted to play for the Sox. He was all about the money so we had no shot.
