Some would argue the problem is we don't have a single star player. Devers has the highest fWAR at 2.8. His defense is a drag on his value. Story's offense has been a drag on his value. And so on. Maybe building for 2025-2026 really is the sensible approach.

Pretty hard to judge Cora's work this year. We all agree that the rotation was ragtag and the defense was lousy. How much of that can be pinned on the manager, how much on the guy who put the roster together. Posters like iortiz say, just to be on the safe side, fire everyone.
-
Henry might argue that $550 million on Devers, Story and Yoshida is real money spent.
-
If one of those two pulls a hammy right before the playoffs start, the tactic will come into question, of course...
-
Yeah, it's pretty major. How could a team that finishes under .500 2 years in a row* not have major needs? *TBD

When were you chatting with him last?
-
Personally I have no doubt he's very disappointed with the 2022 and 2023 W-L records. And when that starts to show up in lower ticket sales as it did yesterday, that magnifies the disappointment.
-
Yes, I was one of those who said no worries, Kluber can do the job! Pollyanna really got her ass kicked this year by Bloom. He left the poor girl for dead.

It's the story of our season. It's been one big roller-coaster ride to nowhere.
-
Yes, he does have a five year contract. Is there any precedence for this havoc thing of which you speak?

I'd say he was as logical a choice as any when we had just fallen behind in the 6th inning of the first game of a doubleheader. -
As it turns out, Eflin and Senga were the best values in the 2023 free agent market for starters.

But LL did fine, didn't he? -
Burnes and Woodruff are both free agents after 2024.
-
IMHO the mistake last year was going over the CBT in the first place. What was the point of that, when you're in the middle of a 5 year plan?

I don't think it was Cora's pitching management that cost us these games. I think it was the fact we scored 2 runs and 1 run. -
And frankly, the over bettors probably won money on the number of innings we got out of Sale and Paxton.

And if it was a 4 year plan, his inattention to the 2023 rotation is beyond mind-boggling.
-
The 2023 bullpen is better than the 2022 pen, we can say that much at least. The 2023 W-L record isn't going to be much better than the 2022 record, if it's better at all.
-
If Bloom was waiting for Year 5 to go for it, and he gets fired before he gets the chance, there's gonna be a whole lot of head-scratching about his patience, and the patience of the man he works for.
-
The circumstances are clearly not propitious.
-
What do we know about BOH?
-
The new model was supposed to be "sustainability".
-
Think John Henry is up for another David Price?
