    You see situations where the player is offered the same money by two teams and picks his favorite. Ohtani was reportedly offered the same deal by the Giants as he was by the Dodgers. And of course last year Eflin picked the Rays over the Sox with identical offers.

    You know it's not that simple. There's a point where not spending will hurt the team's value.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Yes. Less money in the pocket.
  5. Bellhorn04
    The teams are not equal in value. It's not a level playing field. That's just reality.
  6. Bellhorn04
    If Cohen sells the team with a pile of debt on the books it has to reduce the price. At least that's how it works with normal businesses. I don't see how the Mets can rack up heavy losses without it affecting Cohen.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's the fans who pay the bills and make John Henry's franchise worth $4.5 billion. I think they do have the right to complain when they're seeing inferior teams put on the field, while ticket prices go up and Henry keeps getting richer. Henry deserves the plaudits for the 4 rings, but the fans owe him nothing at this point.
  8. Bellhorn04
    And he owns the team. So who repays the loans?
  9. Bellhorn04
    We can't expect any owners to dig into their own pockets to cover their team's losses. Although Steve Cohen is apparently doing it. I think it's reasonable to expect the third most valuable team, the Red Sox, to have the third highest payroll. They did follow that credo for many years. 2019 seems like the turning point.
  10. Bellhorn04
    As far as I know, yes.
  11. Bellhorn04
    It seems like an assumption more than anything based on actual numbers.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Who knows? Glasnow is only for one year, they've had a lot of losses in their rotation, and they are obviously not freaked out about paying luxury tax...
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe Werner spoke out of turn and Henry reprimanded him for it. Remember the reset button thing a few years ago?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Too late, sounds like it's nearly a done deal.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Really? What are the gross annual revenues of the A's, Rays, Pirates etc.?
  16. Bellhorn04
    I agree. But maybe Henry thinks Red Sox fans just aren't very bright. His market value is still thriving after 6 sub-.500 teams in 12 years and the jettisoning of Mookie Betts, so maybe anything seems possible to him now.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Gray, ERod and Lugo were all on our list of secondary acquisitions. That list is shrinking, and we still haven't made the primary acquisition.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Outbidding Cohen, Steinbrenner and the rest seems like a pipe dream to me. Maybe if they had done something else by now to demonstrate they weren't lying about being aggressive, I'd feel differently.
  19. Bellhorn04
    If you're Moto and his team and you take a close look at the Red Sox and what's been going on with them, you're probably going to question how committed to winning they really are.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Yes, they're meeting with Moto to keep up appearances. Sham!
  21. Bellhorn04
    The Criswell signing is meant to show Yamamoto and his team how serious the Red Sox are about 2024.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Who is OP?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Burnes seems like the best trade target, but it's only one guaranteed year. He has great numbers but maybe worth nothing they regressed some from 2021 to 2022 and from 2022 to 2023.
  24. Bellhorn04
    They have to do something significant about the rotation this offseason, or it's going to be another debacle for this front office. It'll be shocking. But what if they've miscalculated and they end up not signing Moto, Snell or Montgomery? Even if they do make a big trade, people are going to be scratching their heads.
  25. Bellhorn04
    We don't outbid anyone for starting pitchers. Pitchers are too risky.
