    The more years they can get away with this shitsham, the more they'll want to do it.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Yep. And yet, interestingly enough, they've spent more on free agents so far this offseason than the Red Sox have.
  3. Bellhorn04
    It's really hard for me to get past the fact that Giolito is our biggest investment in the rotation in the last 5 offseasons.
  4. Bellhorn04
    And Shaughnessy even said when Bloom was fired he didn't think he was the whole problem. When these guys are right...
  5. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, we know, you thought there were some thriller diller blockbuster trades coming.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Seems like a solid guess.
  7. Bellhorn04
    "Interest" is their brand.
  8. Bellhorn04
    But that doesn't explain why they couldn't sign Gray, E-Rod or Imanaga. Sham! explains everything.
  9. Bellhorn04
    And that's what really sucks.
  10. Bellhorn04
    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.
  11. Bellhorn04
    There's no Town Hall this year. That's not a good sign.
  12. Bellhorn04
    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.
  13. Bellhorn04
    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.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Right. But it kind of sounds like he's a project, defensively speaking...
  15. Bellhorn04
    Didn't he trade some guy named Mookie?
  16. Bellhorn04
    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.
  17. Bellhorn04
    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.
  18. Bellhorn04
    2 years guaranteed plus a bunch of bells and whistles, probably.
  19. Bellhorn04
    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.
  20. Bellhorn04
    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.
  21. Bellhorn04
    I'm sure it was. Still an unproven quantity, especially defensively.
  22. Bellhorn04
    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.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Well, maybe. He's still an unproven quantity at the MLB level. And he was below replacement level last year.
  24. Bellhorn04
    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.
  25. Bellhorn04
    How much did we pay Duvall last year? Sometimes you do actually get some value for your money...
