    Grissom is confirmed to IL as well.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I think he would have stayed if shown the money. OTOH I'm sure he's pretty damn glad how this worked out.
  3. Bellhorn04
    He was pretty damn good for 3 full years, 2021 to 2023. The Sox reportedly were not big fans of his stuff. It does seem like they were right to pass on him. Not sure if it wasn't just because they were being cheap, though, because they passed on a whole lot of guys.

    Mookie's a bit of a media personality now too. He's certainly not in the worst location for his lifestyle...
  5. Bellhorn04
    Got it. We're back to square one now. And moon has been outed as the grumpy one...
  6. Bellhorn04
    I do not follow game threads with the same religious fervor as I follow most threads here, it's true...
  7. Bellhorn04
    I think Cora always has reasons for what he does. People don't always like the reasons.
  8. Bellhorn04
    "Could have", indeed.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Yes, you're right. The thing is we don't really have much better than Cooper at the moment. Wong would be the exception, but they probably thought he needed a rest day.
  10. Bellhorn04
    We did Betts a favor too. We're in the business of helping others.
  11. Bellhorn04
    DD parachuted into an even better gig.
  12. Bellhorn04
    But you're the guy who wanted him gone long ago.
  13. Bellhorn04
    You mis-spelled lefty.
  14. Bellhorn04
    ??? I thought you were a believer in Cooper turning it around. What's the better alternative?
  15. Bellhorn04
    Probably because their projections show a higher profit with a $200 million payroll than with a $250 million payroll, which probably hinges on the premise that fans will still keep feeding the cash cow even if the team is mediocre.
  16. Bellhorn04
    No, that's me, actually. I'm 68 years old and still working because I have to support my wife, daughter and grandson. I love to travel but man is it pricey. A lot of the fun in my life comes from this forum. That should tell you everything.
  17. Bellhorn04
    It was all one big package deal in Henry's head - DD goes, Betts goes, payroll gets cut, Bloom does the Tampa Bay North thing.
  18. Bellhorn04
    But there was a significant time gap in between, and maybe DD became more "set in his ways" as time went on. Plus we don't know that much about the inner workings of the Sox FO, just that there seem to be a lot of people in it. It's getting audited right now, in fact.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Cora said he was unavailable, didn't say why. Edit: Gonzalez has a hamstring issue and is going on the IL. There's almost always an explanation.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, that seems to be the story and it's a plausible one. I also think it says a lot about Henry's ego that he thought he could just cut loose DD (and Betts), go in a whole new cheaper direction and continue to succeed at the same level.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Lucky world traveling buggers.
  22. Bellhorn04
    And Grissom responds by getting injured again. Talk about not being able to catch a break.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Link please.
  24. Bellhorn04
    That's the goal, right? If you win as many as you lose, you're competitive.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I think it's to time to find something better than Tommy John surgery. Just start sawing arms off and replacing with robotic ones.
