    I'm trying to work a Duffy Dyer joke into this.
  2. Bellhorn04
    You didn't like Francona or Farrell either, am I right? But you liked Don Zimmer.
  3. Bellhorn04
    The days of fire and brimstone managers are gone.
  4. Bellhorn04
    It's a mighty big if. We've had this discussion before, but I don't know what the rules are about making trades contingent on extensions. And in this case you're talking about 2 extensions!
  5. Bellhorn04
    Before and After Bloom and the Mookie trade.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yeah, I'm not sure how often they adjust it, if it's a rolling average or what.
  7. Bellhorn04
    Who the owner is has always been important. Harry Frazee, for example.
  8. Bellhorn04
    And FanGraphs now has his WAR at 3.6 and his dollar value at 28.8 mill, in spite of the fielding issues.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Rest assured no one has said anything good about Story's hitting this year. But it's not uncommon for hitters to struggle for an extended period after coming back from injury.
  10. Bellhorn04
    The only 2 who fall into that category are Price and Sale.
  11. Bellhorn04
    He would only have been a free agent if he opted out. This makes it less likely he opts out.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Bloom deserved to go, I just think ownership is ultimately responsible for this mess. They don't really know what direction to go in any more, they just keep changing horses.
  13. Bellhorn04
    If you're unloading JD and Nate you just go full fire sale. They decided not to fire sale, it's as simple as that.
  14. Bellhorn04
    That one's easy, Bloom got prospects for Vaz and traded Diekman for McGuire.
  15. Bellhorn04
    In hindsight, of course I would. This just leads to a rehash of whether they should have had an all-out fire sale. If you're salary-dumping your third-best hitter why stop there.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Of course we don't know what the offers were. Hard to see a team taking on $7 mill of salary for 2 months of JD and giving up meaningful prospects too.
  17. Bellhorn04
    There are a lot of different explanations floating around out there. All I know is, this team will be non-competitive again in 2024 if they don't shell out for some starting pitching.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I really don't get why such a big deal has been made of not trading JD at the 2022 deadline. So we wouldn't have paid tax that year. Big deal. How would that benefit 2023 or 2024? Do we think Henry would have spent a pile more? What's the theory there?
  19. Bellhorn04
    I guess it depends on why you think the money guy fired Bloom...
  20. Bellhorn04
    Contradictory.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Anything's possible, but I can't see them not spending this offseason.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Montgomery is definitely on the list of second-tier targets.
  23. Bellhorn04
    Impossible to disagree at this point. But it seems like Bloom was in a no-win situation, because making those kind of trades would have been contrary to the stated goal of "competing while rebuilding" - if you're competing you can't pack it in a few games out at the deadline.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Realistically it'll be one of those two at best. One of those two plus Gray or someone more in his price range.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I like the theory that the empty seats and dirt-cheap tickets for that last Yankees series sealed the deal. That was when Henry realized this might start hurting him in the wallet more than helping.
