    Well, I think the Sox are back in trying to win mode even if the results don't show it. They spent on Crochet and Bregman, and trading Devers freed up a lot of money going forward. We'll see.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Just to engage in some total speculation because why not, maybe it's something like Bregman wanting to play for the Sox because of Cora that helps keep Cora around. Somebody produced a poll here recently that had Cora high on the list of managers players would like to play for.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Of course. To clarify my position, if we trade Chapman we might as well trade every other expiring contract because the season's over. I wouldn't trade Bregman though, I'd try to rework his contract and keep him in Boston.

    Who put the 2022-2025 rosters together? Who traded Betts for nothing and signed Story and Yoshida and traded Sale for Grissom and signed Kluber and Giolito and Buehler? Who develops our pitchers? Who coaches our hitters?
  5. Bellhorn04
    No, I didn't say anything about half way, all I'm saying is that trading Chapman is waving the white flag on 2025. We have a shaky bullpen as it is, without him it's a joke.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Yeah but we can also list a pile of reasons that the record is not necessarily his fault, things like trading Betts for nothing, signing Story and Yoshida for big money, lousy pitcher signings and so on.
  7. Bellhorn04
    "There is enough talent" is a pretty vague statement. Who are you talking about, why are they not producing more wins and what does Cora have to do with it?
  8. Bellhorn04
    New ownership.
  9. Bellhorn04
    As we've talked about here so many times, Henry tried to take the team in a totally different direction starting in 2019, with the trade of Betts being the first shocking evidence of this. He's hired 2 CBOs with zero experience and we've had some horrible signings and some wacky roster issues. The facts that Cora still has his job, that he got hired back after a suspension, and that he got a 3 year extension, and that he's been mentioned as a candidate for becoming part of the front office, suggest that ownership must really think highly of him.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Crazy as it may seem, Story has 18 RBI in June. We would be even worse without him. Like I said, crazy.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Virtually every game is a struggle for this team. Very few comfortable wins.
  12. Bellhorn04
    How's that? He did get Devers to accept moving to DH. It was when Casas went down that things got really messy...
  13. Bellhorn04
    Maybe we vastly overrated the 2025 team. More likely, it was another year when we needed a lot more things to go right than wrong, and once again it just didn't happen.
  14. Bellhorn04
    "Appears" is the right word....all we have to go on is appearances.
  15. Bellhorn04
    It's extremely hard to say if Cora is part of the problem or not. With Devers gone, the team is very low in proven major league position player talent. There's Bregman, but he's out. There's Story, who ain't what he used to be. It's mainly youngsters and utility players.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Trading Chapman = total sell mode.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Needs to spend more time with Dillon Lawson.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Late bloomer - one exceptional season - seems to have focus issues. But there are probably bigger questions lurking about the Sox coaching and player development, questions it's pretty hard for any of us to answer.
  19. Bellhorn04
    moon is open to just about anything. He would trade family members and pets if there was any hope it would improve the Sox. So trading Anthony and Campbell is nothing to him. 😀
  20. Bellhorn04
    He's Johnston to me. The leftover X and Y can be used as initials.
  21. Bellhorn04
    My guess would be SF put the pressure on and the Sox decided they had to jump for one big reason: SF was offering to pay every nickel of the contract. Even though I've been somewhat supportive of the trade, in the big picture it's yet another debacle for the post-2018 Red Sox. Because what other team would trade their best hitter right after their best stretch of the season?
  22. Bellhorn04
    Puny samples, but since the trade the Giants are 3-5 and Devers has a .608 OPS.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The only way they can win more without Devers is by making some adds.
  24. Bellhorn04
    The team could desperately use a piece of good news and they just freed up $250 mill or so. I am already sensing a cynical reaction to this and I'm expecting some folks to go with slim and none as the chances. 🙃
  25. Bellhorn04
    Now, on the other hand, we do have our fair share of armchair CBOs here, and we are already hearing plenty of talk about who we should sell off. So it goes.
