    Yeah, we'll have to wait and see (says Cap'n Obvious), but it'll be interesting to see if the winning contract for Soto has much in the way of bells and whistles. Cole's contract had just the one opt-out after 5 years I believe.

    How does this relate to Snell?

    Maddie is probably going to be a little surprised next time she checks the status of her article/thread. 😁

    If we didn't win the Series in '18 with Price contributing, I too would deem it a disaster. But we did.

    Blake the Snake, man. Of course I'd love to have him. But only on the "right deal". (LOL LOL)
  6. Bellhorn04
    I'm actually feeling optimistic now, because why not? It makes no difference how I feel anyway.
  7. Bellhorn04
    They should only trade from the places we have a legit surplus. Which we do have in the outfield and middle infield.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Damn pitchers!
  9. Bellhorn04
    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.
  13. Bellhorn04
    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?
  15. Bellhorn04
    And he's going to be paid enough to feed some small countries for a generation. 😁
  16. Bellhorn04
    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.
  17. 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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    That's great, but we have 4+ months to fill with our jabbering before games start again. 😄
  19. 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.
  23. 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%.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, we're just talking past each other, as the saying goes.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Yes, I'd rather ignore Wander Franco's existence too.
