    Agreed. But he also confirmed they had a number they were unwilling to exceed, and that was non-negotiable. And in retrospect, their number was clearly too low. So it still works out to they screwed up hugely.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Were you excited at the time about it? I was kind of in the "scratching my head" group. It just seemed so blatantly obvious he was here to replace Xander.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Disagree, because it all adds up and the tax thresholds and penalties obviously still matter plenty.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The Story signing was one of the most underwhelming big money signings ever. Partially because, of course, many assumed he just represented a cheaper replacement for the soon-to-be-gone Xander. The yucks just keep coming the last last 5 years.

    If that's what happens, "some will say" the Red Sox pursuit of Soto was a big waste of time, and they should have known from the start no one would outbid Cohen. And it'll be two years in a row they made their top targets guys they had no chance at (Moto last year), so that's kind of dumb in itself. And I realize that all sounds like it came from a spokesperson for the Fellowship of the Miserable!

    Fair question. Altuve and Bregman were the big stars on that team and I think they shouldered a lot of the blame because of that. And Bregman just seems unlikable, rightly or wrongly. So I can't say there's much logic behind it.

    Falling short on Soto would not, in itself, be an embarrassment. On the other hand, trying for Soto doesn't, in itself, mean this offseason won't end up an embarrassment.

    Yes, Zack Scott has been talking a lot about the Mookie situation. One thing I seized on is that he seemed to confirm that the final offer to Mookie was close to, but under, $300 million. He confirmed the $200 million offer and then said the next year they offered "almost $100 million more." This supports Mookie's claim that their offers never got to $300 million.

    Marwin was the best damn cheater on the team!
  10. Bellhorn04
    Betts was 2 years older at the start of his extension than Soto will be at the start of his contract. But that sure doesn't account for a $300 million difference, does it
  11. Bellhorn04
    No, I think the Mets will offer the most money and we need Soto to prefer Boston. That's been my position for a while now.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Right, just place a bet one way or the other. Pie charts are too wishy-washy. 😉
  13. Bellhorn04
    And nobody said much about Marwin Gonzalez. It is funny how different guys get perceived. Cora-cheated but still likable. Bregman-cheated and would be unlikable even if he didn't.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yep, and I still think that.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Power Rankings are definitely one of the stupidest things ever conceived.
  16. Bellhorn04
    All we really have to go on is gut feelings.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Oh I know. It's the pie-chart precision that makes me chuckle.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I don't get the point of assigning %s LOL
  19. Bellhorn04
    If they sign Soto and Fried the heavy lifting is pretty much done, and Brez can just have fun with the rest.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I was just talking about the PR factor, of course.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Bregman on top of Chapman would be a double dose of "let's just piss everyone off, we really are this stupid".
  22. Bellhorn04
    As a closer, he's a cardiac event.
  23. Bellhorn04
    So what they're doing is bad unless it's good.
  24. Bellhorn04
    So who are they hurting, exactly?
  25. Bellhorn04
    And they just might regret it here.
