    Anger at books has been going on for centuries.

    Good piece from Over the Monster pointing out the flaws in the latest messaging from Werner and Breslow: https://www.overthemonster.com/2024/1/17/24041579/no-pressure-dudes-red-sox-free-agent-rumors-werner-throttle-montgomery-mayer-anthony-teel-snell There’s a lot to unpack here, and I’m tempted to start with the ludicrous claim that creating a talent pipeline of internally developed players is the “fastest path to a World Series team.” It plainly is not. It’s the cheapest path to building a winner — and if your owner insists on resetting the luxury tax at regular intervals, then it’s also probably the best way to achieve sustained success — but it is in no uncertain terms the fastest path.

    Now jad, don't let the politics monster rear its ugly head.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Apparently it's only bench coaches that should be tossed.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Good point.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yep, all true.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Apparently that answer was only about trading prospects. Phew.

    The 2024 Opening Day payroll number is one thing they can't hide from.
  9. Bellhorn04
    And they have plenty of payroll room, 30 or 40 million under the first tax threshold, not to mention 100 million or so behind the Dodgers, Mets and Yankees. It's all a ******** story to cover up what they really want, which is a fatter bottom line for FSG.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Jeezus Crag. That is a really horrible answer.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Bad managers can screw up a team in many ways. See: Valentine, Robert, 2012.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm not even disagreeing with you guys. I'm just thinking that if there are no more significant moves this offseason, and the Sox win 78 games again, who do we blame then?
  13. Bellhorn04
    Cora was punished and reinstated. End of story. It's the 'backstabbing' claims of yours that's the made-up part.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Blame for cutting the payroll, for losing Betts and Bogaerts, and for finishing under .500 over and over.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The problem with those 10 biggest signings is that many of them were actually small. The only reason I'm defending Bloom is that it looks more and more like the real culprit is Henry's tight-fistedness.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The word 'scapegoat' has been used plenty of times.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Got a link to that story? Time we nailed this down!
  18. Bellhorn04
    I think Larry said to Ben: 'you pick one and I'll pick one, and we'll announce them together'.
  19. Bellhorn04
    But you thought he should have added, and the stories that leaked out were about him not selling off.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Honestly we have no clue exactly why he was fired.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Because Henry started losing his marbles around that time.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Undercut Bloom in what way? Are you saying Cora got Bloom fired?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Price was a "you gotta do what you gotta do" signing. I was neither happy nor unhappy about it. I definitely understood it. I wouldn't go back and undo it, either. Might be one less ring if you do that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    But the good news is the owners will be able to pocket a whole lot more cash over that time!
  25. Bellhorn04
    So we'll just deny that Seager, Semien and Eovaldi had much to do with the Rangers being the current champions. Yeah, I'm sure they'd be champs without those guys. The Sox would probably still be without a title since 1918 without their free agents. You're arguing on principles and trying to gloss over reality.
