Agreed, but highly skeptical it's going to happen.
-
Sorry, Gallo will be too expensive for us.
-
Well, we did make that run at Zac Eflin! Some big market team won the bidding, though.
-
And Bloom hasn't earned much cred with his "outside the box" approaches to the outfield and first base... Maybe it's going to take a truly epic debacle for changes to come. Right now we seem to be lined up for one.
-
Run prevention starts with pitching. I'm very worried about the run prevention abilities of our starting rotation as presently constituted. Unless they do something we're going to be seeing a lot of Winky, Kutter and even...Seabold.
-
The report that the Mets were considering Correa suggests they're not done yet this offseason. Cohen wants to buy a championship or two and he doesn't care how much it takes. He's already blown past all the barriers - there are no further penalties to be incurred, just more tax.
-
Detroit Red Wing fans still lament a period in their history known as the "Darkness Under Harkness". I sure hope this period in Red Sox history doesn't get looked back on as the "Gloom Under Bloom".
-
Correa's gone. I'll take Kluber and Andrus. I have doubts we'll get either one. Bloom never does the expected.
-
Or it was a 50/50 deal. Larry cornered Ben and said "You pick one and I'll pick one. And we'll announce them both on the same day."
-
The Red Sox don't seem to have anyone in their front office who knows anything about PR anymore. That's what Lucchino was good at. Now they're a PR disaster.
-
Well, it illustrates that "market value" in baseball is sometimes just a phrase. $280 million was absurd.
-
But Henry's fingerprints are all over the pre-season offer. He already did it once, with Lester, so there's a strong precedent. I don't think Bogey was ever in the plans for 2023 and beyond.
-
Empty mouthpiece. I think I'm starting to miss Lucchino, at least he was sort of a real person...
-
Personally I think Henry is clearly the guy who's most responsible for the departures of Betts and Bogey. He's decided that handing out contracts of that size is not the way to go, and now he's digging in deep on that belief. I read an interview with Dombrowski, and he made it sound like the way he was let go was extremely cold. Henry never said a word to him at the time or since then. Dombrowski didn't say much about it, he said he'd rather not talk about it. But we're seeing a pretty long pattern of Henry being a prick, starting really with the exits of Epstein and Francona.
-
But then there was their ludicrous offer before the season. I just can't give them the benefit of the doubt anymore. They're not passing the smell test.
-
But Bloom said Bogey was the #1 priority, so it wasn't all media lies.
-
It does seem to help me deal with the frustration, temporarily at least. I'm sure it's different for everyone.
-
Agreed, but we're not keeping ANY of ours, depending on the outcome with Devers of course.
-
It's definitely catharsis for me.
-
Mine is too, but only because of the rings. And I chalk a lot of that up to good fortune (which is not the same as luck).
-
I liked your analogy better.
-
Over the next 3 seasons.
-
Yes, but they absorb all those hits, and they make the playoffs virtually ever year. They haven't had a season under .500 since 1992. (Thankfully we have done much better than them in the postseason this century.)
-
Wishful thinking, moon.
-
What does that have to do with it? Alvarez is signed through 2028, but he doesn't count?
