We know that the Yankees put $300 mill on the table for Moto, so more than likely they have more spending to do.
-
I have little doubt Monty would return to the Yanks if the price is right.
-
I'm not sure how he was a Bloom guy. Nobody hated the trade for JBJ more than moon did.
-
Seeing how long moon can keep Red on ignore might be a more interesting story than the Red Sox offseason.
-
Sean isn't a poster here, so it's a little different.
-
Chapman would be an upgrade. Great defensive third baseman. But the Sox will never do it.
-
It might be interesting to track how many posts moon and red have made about each other today.

Projected 2024 WAR (Steamer): 2.4 1.8 0.8 1.4 Not exactly Full Throttle.

Shpouting, for short.

Make it EROD and GRAY and the answer from me is YES, I'M COMPLAINING.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Well, I sure hope you don't expect them to meet Burnes's price either. That's the problem with a lot of these trade ideas. You're still going to have to shell out a lot of money if you expect to have the pitcher more than a year or two. Like I say, the next Pedro Trade just ain't out there. -
Yep, a dozen teams had a higher payroll than the Sox last year.

And nobody really knows what better options there are. Montgomery is the best FA left, that's pretty hard to argue. -
Yes, they're spending less and spending it stupider. Not a great combo.

Montgomery pitched better than Burnes last year. Call me crazy, but I get more excited at the idea of obtaining Montgomery for nothing but money than I do about trading for one year of Burnes who says he has to be blown away to sign an extension. -

It's fine to stay patient and optimistic, obviously. OTOH I don't think it's irrational to not have a lot of faith in the Sox ownership and front office any more. At the very least they continue to be a PR disaster. They obviously had a lot of trouble attracting very many legit CBO candidates. They end up hiring a guy who seems to have an awful lot in common with the guy he replaced, including the fact he has no experience for the position. They send out messages about being full throttle and how it's time to focus on getting the team into October, and then they don't even sign a single one of the top free agent starting pitchers (if McAdam and others are right about not being in on Montgomery or Snell). I can see not paying the price for Moto, but we can't even come up with 75 or 80 million for a Gray or an E-Rod? And Montgomery is out of our range too? Are you f***ing kidding me? -
The only man with say seems to be the stone-faced principal shareholder.
-
There's really no indication of any market-setting or major inflation going on this year, outside of Yamamoto, who was a unicorn. A number of guys have signed for less than projected, in fact.
-
How about some of Cora's comments, back in those exciting days when we thought he had a voice in the team's direction.
-
For Snell to set the market for who? He and Montgomery are the only 2 starters left projected to get $100 mill or more.
-
IMHO this Sox front office has earned it.
-
We've already been through all the "trade for a starting pitcher' scenarios, and none of them seem to be slam-dunks either. The next Pedro Martinez trade just ain't out there.
-
Yeah, just like things have broken loose after Moto signed, huh?
-
Yes, I have to admit I'm surprised that to this point they have done absolutely zero to improve the team. The team is worse on paper in fact. If the season started today we'd be about a 70 win team. I'm not sure why waiting things out is such a great strategy. That's what Bloom did last year, and the result was Corey Kluber as the Opening Day starter.
-
Red, they've already mismanaged their way to consecutive 78 win seasons, and all they did about it was swap Bloom for Breslow. I'm glad you're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. To me they've done nothing to justify confidence in them.
