    We're in on everything! 😀

    There are also times the opt outs reward performing players, like Xander. The players can't lose either way.

    Campbell may have been pitching hurt. Who knows? It was 6.2 innings. He pitched pretty well in his 28.2 inning sample in 2023. I thought it was a good trade by Breslow.

    Seager's not at the same level as Soto, I agree. I just thought you were dissing him a bit too strongly, that's all.

    The Mookie story could be around as long as the Babe Ruth story. Mookie has 2 rings since we traded him and we have 0. It's not going away.

    JH explained in detail to Red Sox fans the history and the reasoning behind why they traded him. He brought stories about Stan Musial into it. Still not enough to convince you he was directly and prominently involved in the decision?
  7. Bellhorn04
    And he's going to be paid enough to feed some small countries for a generation. 😁

    No idea what you're talking about with that last sentence, frankly. Please read the series of posts again. My only point was that Seager has been close to Soto in terms of performance. I really didn't know notin was including health histories in his comment.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Your comment about Seager suggested he didn't even belong in a conversation with Soto. Now you're pivoting to their health histories. OK.
  10. Bellhorn04
    That's great, but we have 4+ months to fill with our jabbering before games start again. 😄
  11. Bellhorn04
    He explained in great detail the reasons Mookie was not extended and why he was traded. No one could read that and deduce that the trade was something Bloom did on his own.

    See my edited post.

    Henry issued a detailed statement on the matter. "We" was his pronoun of choice. https://www.mlb.com/news/john-henry-statement-on-trading-mookie-betts. “I think we made legitimate offers over three offseasons,” Henry said. “We made it clear to Mookie, and I made it personally clear one-on-one, that we wanted to see him in a Red Sox uniform for the rest of his life, if possible.” “We cannot shy away from tough decisions required to aggressively compete for World Series. That is what led to this trade,” Henry said. “Free agency plays into many decisions clubs like ours have to make. Today’s players spend years in the Minor and Major Leagues earning the right to be paid in a free market, earning the right to make choices. They make significant sacrifices to get there and they deserve what they receive. Clubs also have choices to make as well in this economic system.”

    DD said that he was never given one word of explanation about why he was fired, and Henry basically just stopped speaking to him.
  15. Bellhorn04
    And you're inexplicably, vastly underrating Seager. B-R now provides bWAR per 162 games, God bless 'em. Soto 6.3 Seager 5.8 The difference is less than 10%.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, we're just talking past each other, as the saying goes.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I'd rather ignore Wander Franco's existence too.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Hugh, a large number of the criticisms about the Red Sox inability to retain Mookie and their subsequent lack of spending refer directly to them being among the wealthiest teams. This is not a controversial position.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Hiring Bloom and then trading Mookie was quite a 1-2 punch.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Majorly disagree. What a lot of Sox fans have been complaining about is the team not spending as much as they could, and their ability to spend is closely related to their wealth, and wealth comes from revenue.
  21. Bellhorn04
    But if you do the calcs in comparison to revenue...
  22. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, the Tampa Bay North thing was a media creation, probably led by Mr. Shaughnessy. Mind you, by hiring Chaim Bloom, trading Mookie Betts, and basically being cheap for a 5 year stretch, the Sox have not done much to dispel the image,
  23. Bellhorn04
    Garrett Whitlock is not a minimum wage guy. 5.5 mill actual salary and 4.7 million AAV.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Personally I'm trying not to get too emotionally invested in this, because the odds are too much in favor of disappointment.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I think the consensus right now is that the 2 NY teams are the front-runners, with the Red Sox, Dodgers and Jays having a shot.
