    Knowing what we know now, I for one am dubious that there was any way that Raffy wasn't going to be unhappy about this.
  2. Bellhorn04
    And there's a pretty good chance that Raffy would just hear this as GM-speak for "We're looking to replace you at third."
  3. Bellhorn04
    Well, they did put 313.5 million dollars of guaranteed money in Devers's pocket with the extension.
  4. Bellhorn04
    The problem with being upfront is that they might not have succeeded in signing Bregman and might have needed Devers to stay at third.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Like I said his job is to get the best results. Toro and Gonzalez have been doing fine. We have zero idea if the disciplinarian approach would have worked. I tend to doubt it, myself, given Devers's behavior. The fact they traded Devers tends to confirm that ownership and management thought the relationship was just broken.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Scouts let him down, I guess.
  7. Bellhorn04
    It's so reminiscent of Nomar.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Raffy was not a happy camper, that much is pretty clear.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I don't know why that would matter.
  10. Bellhorn04
    I think Cora may have read the situation correctly that the best thing was to try to keep Devers happy as DH and not try to force the 1B thing, which Raffy was obviously resisting. I don't call it being afraid, I call it trying to get the best results. That's Cora's job.

    Have you given up on the playoffs for 2025?
  12. Bellhorn04
    Never said anything like that.
  13. Bellhorn04
    I feel much the same, but I'd also like to see him in the lineup as DH soon, possibly in a platoon with Refsnyder and/or Gonzalez.
  14. Bellhorn04
    What would you like players to say right now about the situation? Is there anything anyone can say that will do anyone any good?
  15. Bellhorn04
    And what do you think Cora did wrong, exactly?
  16. Bellhorn04
    Oh yes you are. 😀

    The Sox pitching is what's mainly responsible for this current run. The Sox have 6 wins in a row in spite of only scoring 17 runs in those games. I have no idea if it will continue. It's baseball. At least things are interesting again.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Bregman was and is their best player, and the Sox are on this run without him.
  19. Bellhorn04
    I guess it depends what he told them.
  20. Bellhorn04
    I think his bosses cared about it. They wanted him to be "the face" and he wanted no part of it.
  21. Bellhorn04
    You also have to look at last year when he was going bad and not talking to reporters.
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's a strange time to be thinking that when the Sox are on a 6 game win streak and right back in the hunt.
  23. Bellhorn04
    No question this is a defining move for Breslow.
  24. Bellhorn04
    We all wanted Raffy to be a big lovable teddy bear. I'm not trying to character-assassinate the man, but when the full picture emerges I think it's going to be clear that he's the one who messed up here. Maybe David Ortiz has become a company man, maybe not, but he is saying things that indicate Raffy wouldn't listen to him, wouldn't take his advice.
  25. Bellhorn04
    It's almost inexplicable how good the starters have been over the last 6 games. Hard to explain in a good way, for once...
