    Before the season? No. The offer before the season was tacking on 1 year and $30 mill.
  2. Bellhorn04
    I think Bloom did OK on the trade, but that's not the point. Betts has an AAV of $29 mill (they finally adjusted for the deferred money), and he had an fWAR of 6.6 this year. I think the Dodgers are more than happy with the swap of Dugo for Betts.
  3. Bellhorn04
    It was zero and it's still zero.
  4. Bellhorn04
    2022 fWAR Bogaerts 6.1 Schwarber 2.6 There's more to the game than HR's.
  5. Bellhorn04
    That amount would have been what their final offer was - 6 * $27. The talk is that would have done it, that Xander wanted to get paid similarly to what Story got. As with so many things, we'll never know now.
  6. Bellhorn04
    For me it feels like we've already seen the defining moments, with Betts and Bogey. How much more can you define yourself?
  7. Bellhorn04
    We're exactly like the Rays, except that we spend 3 times as much and they're 5 times smarter. Other than that it's a perfect likeness.
  8. Bellhorn04
    And frankly, that's a sad reason to like a signing.
  9. Bellhorn04
    You could be dead wrong about Bloom, too, though. If Bloom is so smart, why did he expose Ward instead of Ort?
  10. Bellhorn04
    Yes, it's a huge issue, Jax. We have last place finishes in 5 of the last 11 years. And if the 2023 season started today we'd be a lock to make it 6 out of 12. That's what you call intolerable.
  11. Bellhorn04
    That's commendable, seriously. If they sign an extension with Devers, mine might come back. But it's really going to be the last straw if they don't.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Maybe so. But I think you have to draw the line somewhere on stretching contracts to reduce AAV.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Henry booted Theo and Francona and DD, he'll have no problem booting Bloom.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Correct. Henry is Krampus now.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Not a bad point. It does take balls to raise ticket prices while ushering Bogey and Devers out the door.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Correct. Do we have a bet?
  17. Bellhorn04
    If Yoshida rakes, Red Sox fans will like him and will say Bloom got a good deal. It all comes down to what happens on the field.
  18. Bellhorn04
    I'll take that one, Hugh.
  19. Bellhorn04
    You're right, 2023 is clearly lining up to suck, so trading Devers now makes sense. Knowing this ownership they might do it on Christmas Eve.
  20. Bellhorn04
    All rise.
  21. Bellhorn04
    He can't do much about Henry and Werner's recent stretch of backward thinking, agreed. Anyone who had any doubts about whether the Sox effed up with Betts now has their answer as H and W doubled down with Bogey. Who knows what spectacular effup they have in store with Devers?
  22. Bellhorn04
    It's time for Henry and Werner to go. Unfortunately, it might take a really miserable 2023 season to convince them to do it.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I thought you were raising it as a possibility.
  24. Bellhorn04
    I've tried to be optimistic about Bloom. But he came into this job with no experience as a GM, so he was a totally unproven quantity. And I don't think he realized what he was walking into. Now he's in a really bad position. If he stickhandles his way out of this mess, he'll go down as a hero. But I think the odds are against it.
  25. Bellhorn04
    I don't feel bad about it. Henry did it to me.
