The problem is, it doesn't look like that bottleneck holds any advantages for us. More likely it just means hyper-inflated prices for Montgomery and Snell.
-
The only point was that Texas was not deterred by the expensively s***** results in 2022 to keep spending and trying to win a title. Quite the opposite, as it turned out.
-
OK. I think there's a general point here, though, that anyone who thought the Rangers didn't have the money, or were deterred by the 68-94 season, couldn't have been any wronger.
-
You missed the point too.
-
Another misconception laid to rest.
-
The other thing about this sensational offseason is that, as harmony pointed out, we've lost about 40% of the WAR of our position players from last year, in Verdugo, Duvall and Turner. Not that any of them had fat WAR's, but that's how s***** we were. As of today we're shittier.
-
I get that. But it's pretty clear the Mets and Yanks are the teams pulling out all the stops here, and Moto responded by visiting them in NY. I think the Sox have given up on this a while ago. Just my guess.
-
You missed the point by a week.
-
This is what I don't get. How can you have command without having control?
-
It has nothing to with Breslow. It's all Henry.
-
Facts seem to suggest otherwise, sir.
-
Also, Texas SHOULD have been on the radar, especially after forking half a billion for Seager and Semien.
-
I know what the point was, and I think it has little relevance to the Sox chances of signing Moto.
-
So now I suppose you're going to backpedal on your comments about Moto already being a Met LOL
-
deGrom wasn't really a hot commodity because of his terrifying injury profile and his age. There's nothing in common between him and Moto.
-
The distinction is a totally arbitrary and made-up one, but that's fine...
-
And darkhorses never win something like this.
-
Maybe the hesitancy and indecision we thought Bloom was guilty of wasn't his fault at all. Maybe it's the "process" that sucks.
-
Just think how positive and enthusiastic Bloom always seemed to be. How'd that turn out?
-
Maybe John Henry wanted to Throttle Werner when he heard that.
-
I think I've already reached the point that if Moto signs with the Mets I'll be thrilled. Anybody but the Yankees. The Dodgers would also be kind of ridiculous.
-
It'll actually be kind of grimly humorous if Moto decides to wait until January 3 and keeps this offseason in glacial mode until then.
-
My problems with that: -I think Moto to the Sox is a pipe dream. Hardly anyone thinks the Sox are one of the faves to sign him. You don't think the Sox are signing him. -The prices on Montgomery and Snell will likely be even higher than originally projected. -Snell probably isn't a great target anyway because of his durability issues. It's basically down to Montgomery. And I have serious doubts the Sox will pay what it takes to win that bidding war either. The Sox passed on the reasonable deals - Gray, ERod, Wacha. I think there's just something seriously wrong with their thinking. Or it could be that Henry is still putting the budget clamps on too tight. Maybe they will prove me wrong.
-
Meanwhile, another long meeting of the Red Sox brain trust winds down. Almost time to pack things up for Christmas.
-
Gray looks like a steal to me at $75 mill, but what do I know, as the saying goes.
