September 18th: Red Sox at Rangers
Bellhorn04 replied to moonslav59's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
Story's career road BA is .235. -
I think it's safe to say they didn't fire Bloom with the intent of further payroll cuts.
-
It's possible. They have to spend big on somebody, I think.

Possible Red Sox target Blake Snell is in the mix, needless to say. 2023 NL Cy Young Award race breakdown WWW.MLB.COM Last year, the NL Cy Young Award went unanimously to Miami’s Sandy Alcantara. It’s safe to say: That won’t be happening again. Not for Alcantara, out with an arm injury after a disappointing season, and certainly not unanimously, because this year’s race looks like it might be one of the

Amen to that.

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension

There's one common denominator... -
It's a Sale trade, that ya just didn't take...
-
It's just funny or ironic or whatever that we're in such a similar place to where we were when they hired DD. Good pieces and good prospects, hardly any starting pitching. Who's gonna be the new DD?
-
No way in hell they're moving him to 1B right now.
-
Sounds like cake!
-
Bloom?
-
Funny how that happens with positions that are supposedly so easy to fill.
-
What was the Sale Price on that gel?
-
But then we have to also consider why Dombrowski was fired.
-
Just trying to find a faint flicker of optimism in the final stages of this Bataan Death March. Thank you for snuffing that out.
-
Casas is apparently out for the season with shoulder inflammation, and Turner isn't 100% either. It's a chance for Dalbec to show something.
-
The elephant in the room is that the top starting pitchers are going to have plenty of bidders. Big contracts and big risk. Does Henry want to do another 180 on his "philosophy" now?
-
Once it was established that Yoshida is a pricey DH, then his comps become David Ortiz and J. D. Martinez. That's part of what I've been saying.
-
You are correct, sir.
-
moon, his fWAR now stands at 0.4. Maybe your argument should be with FanGraphs, not me.
-
Again, my criticism has been mainly directed at Bloom for the signing, in an offseason when we desperately need pitching rather than 2 DH's.
-
After all I've said, it would be a cop-out to assign any blame to either. If I had a gun to my head, I'd flip a coin. I do find the idea that DD of all people wasn't willing to offer a superstar a ton of money more comical than anything. And it's stupid to blame Bloom too. The guy was hired just as Betts was entering his contract year, just as the team had luxury tax problems...pretty easy to connect the dots. According to Mookie Betts, the Red Sox offer was not $300 million. It seems pretty obvious that this was all the work of John Henry, AKA Lowball Johnny. Henry treated Betts the same way he treated Lester and Bogaerts.
-
There's a theory that all the empty seats for the Yankee series and reports of tickets being re-sold for peanuts was the final straw. That was when Henry realized fans were actually starting to vote with their feet.
-
Unfortunately the criticism has turned out to be fully justified, for this year at least.
-
It appears Chaim was a ditherer.
