    But the Padres would not be where they are without their huge financial investments in Machado, Tatis and Bogaerts. And you could also throw in Soto - it was the trade of Soto that resulted in acquiring both King and Cease.

    Man, injuries really do suck!
  3. Bellhorn04
    I get that. He could definitely be frustrating at times.

    Everybody makes mistakes. It's just that the payroll-tightening trend of the Sox has made the impact of mistakes seem to be magnified.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The only team that has been able to beat the payroll-winning correlation over an extended period is the Rays. Somebody graphed it, and the Rays showed up on the graph like a distant little star LOL

    Probably Abreu. I liked moon's idea of trading Yoshida for Gausman and throwing in some money and/or talent to make it happen.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Hitting coach Peter Fatse somehow survived the purge.

    I really detest RIP threads, but I'll make an exception here. Tiant was quite possibly the most lovable of all Red Sox heroes. I'll echo notin and hope Luis is enjoying a fine cigar right now.

    Good stuff, Davy.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Max, we are calling you out hard, man. All in good fun though.

    😀

    Abreu is a trading chip. Yoshida is a salary dump dream.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Right, but if we use 2022-2024, those 5 teams have a total of 12 playoff appearances, so 12 out of 15 = 80%.

    I think JD Drew also deserves a mention. He didn't quite live up to his contract, but he did have some fine moments. Very talented all-around player.

    2 wealthiest teams per Forbes/playoff appearances over last 20 years 2005-2024: NY Yankees 15/20 LA Dodgers 15/20 2 poorest teams per Forbes/playoff appearances over last 20 years 2005-2024: Miami 2/20 Oakland 7/20

    Exactly. Max's comments are driven by confirmation bias, cherry-picking and just plain poor logic.
  17. Bellhorn04
    True, but the issue is that the Sox are #3 in revenue and franchise value. Prior to the last couple of years they spent in proportion to their wealth, and nobody really complained too loudly.

    The wish was to go over every year, not under every year...
  19. Bellhorn04
    It definitely does count.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think all I did was point out that a number of teams had clearly abandoned the mantra of re-setting every third year.
  21. Bellhorn04
    It's like Whitlock wanting to be a starter. Sometimes management has to make the decision for the player, for the good of everyone...
  22. Bellhorn04
    Well, he's a highly paid DH, and expectations of highly paid DHs are, well...high. We had the best with Ortiz, and then we had another excellent one with JDM, and JDM was starting to catch his fair share of abuse in his latter seasons...

    Why is Henry any different than all the CBOs he has sent packing? When Henry bought the Sox, we were lucky, but he was lucky too. He had a strong baseball and marketing man in Lucchino. And Lucchino brought in Epstein. Lucchino probably had more to do with our rings than Henry.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Hey, we've been demanding our butts off, but all we get from Henry and Kennedy is a scolding. 🙂
  25. Bellhorn04
    It sucks that Trout's brilliant career has been waylaid by injuries and playing on a crap team.
