The only team I can think of that might trade for him is the Angels.
-
Definitely one of the most pointless discussion points. It's right up there with "No one is untouchable. I'd trade anyone if the return is right."
-
The #5 slot is usually pretty fungible...
-
I thought a bullpen champion like yourself might vote for Martin.
-
Also true.
-
Concur. That was bonehead management.
-
They could have tried a pre-emptive strike with Bogaerts instead.
-
I think I would too.
-
But now look at how many MLB innings each of those pitchers pitched in 2022.
-
Which is what a lot of fans figured, and it didn't make them calm at all.
-
This kind of stuff probably happens a lot. As I recall there was something similar with Freeman after he signed with the Dodgers.
-
I agree with notin and "modest effort". There has to be some responsibility to the game.
-
Let's face it, we're always grasping for things to blame failure on.
-
And if Pablo and Hanley and Rusney kicked butt, maybe Cherington would still be CBO.
-
Except he kept getting hurt.
-
Like I said, a combination of things.
-
His .640 OPS in August and .641 in September have contributed to the offensive slide. That's indisputable fact.
-
The frustrating part is how much the offense went in the tank. Losing Duran and then Casas, Turner getting banged up, Story and Yoshida not doing much. At least the kids are hitting a little. Just another fustercluck of a season. Back-to-backers.
-
We're not sure exactly what doomed him. Probably a combination of things. The knock on him being indecisive does seem very credible.
-
Like I say, I think it's all on ownership.
-
I get what you're saying. But sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The Yankees converted King from relief to starting and he's been doing very well. The Red Sox evaluation and coaching of pitchers remains very suspect. This year we saw Littell and Brasier go to other teams and succeed.
-
That's a fair point. Like I say, I'm putting all the blame on ownership. Unfortunately, under the circumstances it's hard to judge Bloom at all, because they gave him such a s***** hand to work with.
-
I believe Henry lowballed Betts all along. And it's worth noting that the recent statements by Betts clearly suggest that he did get a final offer after Bloom took over. He even said, if you want to know more about contract negotiations, you'll have to talk to Chaim about it.
-
Sale seems healthy and effective right now. I get what you're saying, but you can only work with the information you have right now. Pencillng him in as a #5 seems logical.
-
Things do get silly whenever we jump in the Wayback Machine, but... What I'm arguing is that it was ownership who made all these mistakes-cutting loose Betts and Dombrowski AND slashing payroll. So in the Wayback Machine they would have kept Dombrowski AND NOT slashed payroll.
