  1. That's my line too. And the same principle applies to trading Sale and signing Giolito.
  2. We've been dumpster diving for starting pitchers since Bloom replaced DD.
  3. 2024 OPS+ 130 Career OPS+ 131 He might benefit from a change of scenery. It's not gonna be in Boston, though.
  4. As to the talk about trading Duran, there are no two words more beloved by armchair baseball wheeler dealers than "sell high".
  5. Gotta like them drafting Papi's kid even if it was just for funsies...
  6. It's good to see a guy like Will have a life after a baseball career that flamed out much earlier than expected.
  7. It's one of the things that makes baseball unique. In other sports development seems a lot faster and more linear. Being able to pitch or hit a baseball successfully at the MLB level are extremely advanced and variable skills.
  8. But you have to wonder if they will remain risk averse, maybe forever, on signing pitchers who have reached the age of 30 to big contracts. Hell, even big deals for 25 year old pitchers can be risky, as Yamamoto's injury would indicate.
  9. All's I know is that I have a pretty comfortable feeling about Breslow being the right guy to run this team for a while. My main source of anxiety right now is Cora's status for next year.
  10. Oddly enough I saw a comparison elsewhere between Aaron Judge and Primo Carnera.
  11. Larry is still in sell mode.
  12. That's what Bloom thought when he signed Kluber.
  13. Would you have preferred they didn't play at all in 2020?
  14. This one's on moon (post #1218). What a s**t disturber!
  15. I guess it'll have to be said a zillion times, but none of us wanted that contract. The Red Sox just didn't make a serious effort at a reasonable new extension.
  16. I think that was Lowball Johnny's work again. Lester, Betts, Bogaerts.
  17. And I think Bloom was just the hatchet man with Bogaerts too. Henry had to sign off on that insult offer they made.
  18. I like the fact that you can still limit the appearance to 1 or 2 batters if they are the final outs of the inning and you get the job done. I think that makes it a fair compromise.
  19. Bogaerts is doing better than Story since Bogaerts joined the Padres. And Bogaerts still has a few months to contribute to the Padres this year.
  20. He's still doing better than Story.
  21. Everything was pushed back one year.
  22. I have no doubt that the Red Sox front office feels exactly the same way. If they do buy it will be something more along the lines of the moves DD made in 2018.
  23. He pushed back free agency by one year. The Red Sox team option was for 2025. The Braves team option is for 2026.
  24. Like I say, it's not his money. He gets rich off the fans, not vice versa. He was a great owner until the moment he okayed trading Betts.
  25. You should like the 3 batter rule then, but you say you hate it.
