I'm just hoping for Monty/Snell or a good starter in a trade.
-
A lot of the rumblings about Bloom were that he was difficult to deal with and asked for too much, which led to deals falling through. We can't have it both ways.
-
I'm not assuming anything with this ownership any more. I just think we're seeing some signs of a plan unfolding and that has given me some small tingles of optimism about Breslow.
-
I don't view that as a factual statement at all, it's clearly just an opinion. We can't even state as a fact that they blew it with Mookie, because his deal still has 9 years to run and anything can happen.
-
After freeing up another $10 mill, they have even less excuse not to get that #1 pitcher.
-
Well, let's just assume that if Breslow insisted on making it less the Braves walk away and the deal is dead.
-
To me this little flurry of moves suggests Breslow is far from done.
-
JH was apparently fine subsidizing Price's salary to pitch elsewhere for 3 years, so why not Sale for 1 year?
-
Of course we can't state it as a fact. By the same token we can't state for a fact that if we offered Mookie 10/350 he would have taken it. You don't like dabbling in hypotheticals?
-
It's useless if the worst case scenario of JH the Penny Pincher and Werner the Liar comes to fruition.
-
One more question - will you like it less if they don't?
-
I think it was a mistake not to make the 6/162 offer they eventually made, back when it mattered. It's not unreasonable to think Bogaerts would have taken taken something close to that, when you consider that Story took 6/140 and was a very comparable player to Bogaerts.
-
Bellhorn is on board with this trade, mainly because Grissom seems like a decent get.
-
What did our friend BTV think of the trade?
-
Yeah, maybe it's time to get behind Breslow a bit. He's clearly executing a plan, at least.
-
Over the Monster writer likes this trade. https://www.overthemonster.com/2023/12/30/24020064/red-sox-trade-chris-sale-to-atlanta-braves-for-vaughn-grissom-breslow-analysis

Not just bad but cataclysmically bad. Looking at Manoah's innings history, it appears the Jays may have violated the Verducci Effect guidelines and he's paying for it.
-
Better than trading him to the Rays or Jays or Orioles, I guess.
-
The last genuinely exciting move by the Sox was when they signed JD Martinez.
-
Probably not. I think he liked it in Boston but he's getting traded to a better team.
-
We can never have enough reclamation jobs for you?
-
Then, in typical fashion under Henry over the last decade, they make Bogaerts the offer of 6/162 that would have been fair earlier, but was now just another joke.
-
LOL that's almost as nutty as what he got from the Padres.
-
And there's just no excuse not to get that solid 1-2.
-
Just use the Bellhorn Ace Identification System. If he's a slam dunk Hall of Famer or at least a strong candidate, and he's healthy, and he's been in good form recently, then he's an ace.
