Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Bellhorn04 replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Yeah, we know, you thought there were some thriller diller blockbuster trades coming. -
Seems like a solid guess.

"Interest" is their brand. -

But that doesn't explain why they couldn't sign Gray, E-Rod or Imanaga. Sham! explains everything. -

And that's what really sucks. -
The offseason has become an excruciatingly long, boring, frustrating, losing game. The Sox executive hitters have struck out 15 times already. But they still have a few innings left to pull it out. Fenway has a very restless atmosphere.
-
There's no Town Hall this year. That's not a good sign.
-
Nobody gets what they want from these Sox. I wanted Yamamoto or Gray or Montgomery, you wanted a trade, notin wants Chapman. We all get nothing.
-
Wins and losses meant more back when guys were routinely throwing complete games. Now 6 innings is about as much as you can expect. So not only does the starting pitcher need to leave a game with a lead, the bullpen has to retain that lead. There are a ton of examples now of starters whose W-L records don't match their other numbers.
-
Right. But it kind of sounds like he's a project, defensively speaking...
-
Didn't he trade some guy named Mookie?
-
Actually the guy no one is talking about much is Cora. He said stuff that made him sound fed up with the state of the roster and hungry for serious improvements.
-
He's a kid, that's really the point, and they're expecting him to step in and be the everyday second baseman, but his defensive numbers look shaky.
-
2 years guaranteed plus a bunch of bells and whistles, probably.
-
It was a dice roll by the Braves. Nobody knows how it will turn out. It could turn out to be a big win for them.
-
Kluber was never that bad until 2023. And his 55 inning sample in 2023 was smaller than Giolito's 63.1 inning sample with his last 2 teams.
-
I'm sure it was. Still an unproven quantity, especially defensively.
-
No it isn't. And when I first heard about the trade I thought the $10 mill or so they freed up would be put toward a free agent signing. Because we've heard numerous times about them needing to shed payroll before spending. And of course since then they've done nothing. This offseason might end up OK, but to date it's been mostly frustration, angst and confusion for Sox fans. At least the ones who actually care about the 2024 season.
-
Well, maybe. He's still an unproven quantity at the MLB level. And he was below replacement level last year.
-
I don't believe the only hired to trade Betts part. But I don't think the sacrificial lamb part can be ruled out. If anything the approach this offseason seems even more Bloom-like than Bloom.
-
How much did we pay Duvall last year? Sometimes you do actually get some value for your money...
-
So now we're cheering for moves that look best through the filter of not competing this year.
-
Apparently Imanaga's contract only includes about $30 million of guaranteed money.
-
"Bid with the market rather than beyond it"? Some might say that's just another way of saying they never have the top bid. Actually, I don't know WTF "bid with the market" means in the context of baseball free agents. It's gibberish.
-
The Sox front office keeps saying stuff that ends up making them look like a joke. It's no wonder my confidence is shot.
