No sooner do you say that than Xander goes off. Last 2 games, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2 homers and 6 RBI. It was a ridiculous contract he got from the Padres, but I wish we could have signed him to something reasonable. And not signed Story. Not sure where Xander would have played when Mayer was ready, though.

Bloom could have made better moves. We could easily compile a list of moves that would have been better than signing Story, trading for JBJ and going over the tax line as a result, signing Kluber etc. Some of it would be hindsight and cherry-picking, of course. But it's not like he had no options. I think everyone gets that he inherited a very weak farm. It's the moves involving spending on major league players that can be questioned.
-
Sale's remaining AAV is about 34 million, so the acquiring team would be on the hook for 17 mill. If he gets back on the mound before the deadline it might be a possibility, but that in itself seems like a long shot.
-
Can't blame people for being dissatisfied when the team is on its way to another last-place finish. The rebuild and compete thing is only half working.
-
Can't see him going if we're still in it.
-
Last year they were 3 back of the last Wild Card at the deadline and didn't sell except for Vazquez. And a lot of people said they should have sold a lot more, of course. I don't think they'll be in any rush to sell this year either. But it's in play.
-
I finally put him on permanent ignore. Feels good.
-
They don't usually like to mess around with young prospects like that.
-
No one is exempt. Remember when Theo said something about a "bridge" year? Bloom has had a somewhat unfortunate tendency to make statements that sound like promises. You're right that most GMs say nothing. Dombrowski didn't have to say anything because it was so obvious what he was doing. Here's Kimbrel, here's Price, here's Sale, here's JDM, goodbye farm...
-
We all used to be able to give up a lot earlier, before they added all these damn wild cards.
-
All interesting and largely irrelevant.
-
I'm shocked you would think something like that.
-
This team has shown surprising resilience. I wasn't really expecting them to go into TO and sweep this weekend.
-
There's actually some mildly encouraging news on Sale, he's allowed to throw again.
-
I smell Red's Third Fork coming up again...
-
I'll be very surprised if they deal Jansen or Martin. This team's public image is so bad right now. I can't see them making it worse by unloading good pitchers under contract for 2024.
-
Pivetta has been amazing since they put him in the pen. What a weird game this is.
-
It's been a crazy ride. When you think they're going good, they flatline. When you think they're dead, Dr. Frankenstein plugs them back in.
-
Blow it up as in trade who, though?
-
Can't we have one of them in right field, like when we had Betts and Bradley?
-
Sure, if all of Red Sox Nation is here on Talksox.
-
notin and I were in with the crybaby fans last year who thought they still had a chance at the deadline.
-
That would have been prior to the 2022 season.
-
In the 20/20 hindsight game, it was a big mistake to go over the tax threshold in the first place last year.
-
I think they'll wait a few more weeks to make the call. Our chances aren't great but we're not completely out of it.
