Montgomery is in play, sure, but he'll also likely be in play for most of the teams that lose out on Moto. That means inflation. That means he might not even be a smart choice any more. But maybe I'm just suffering from a bad case of negative confirmation bias...
-
Cohen has already set the precedent with his 2023 spree. He's worth 20 bill and he's like a big crazy kid with his team. If it comes down to an EBay situation, no one is going to top him.
-
Oh, it'll be a competitive offer, very competitive indeed. This is a guy who was willing to pay $100 mill in luxury tax alone...
-
It's just too easy to see a scenario here where the Sox lose out on Moto, pass on Snell because of the injury risks, and find Montgomery has gotten too expensive. Then tell the fans they tried their hardest, but things just didn't fall their way.
-
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.
