The Astros seem like they're on a mission of world domination...
-
But if the Sox miss the playoffs this year, it's not going to be a big surprise if Henry simply blames Bloom and fires him...
-
I guess an "unnamed source" said they were...
-
Now you tell us!
-
Bogey's opt-out was an automatic. He would have been insane not to. Of course the Sox could have prevented it by signing him to a new deal some time in the last two years.
-
Interestingly, Harper and Stanton got almost identical contracts. 13 years @ $25 mill. moon's kind of contract...keep that AAV down!
-
I suspected there might be an exception.
-
The 300 players have all been guys good on both O and D.
-
Yep. Rutschman's first game was May 21. Prior to that the O's were 16-24. They went 67-55 the rest of the way. Despite the late start to his rookie year, Rutschman posted a fat 5.3 fWAR and 5.2 bWAR.

In (sort of) Yankee news, it looks like Donnie Baseball will be the next bench coach of the Jays.
-
As 5 Gloves said, if you go to the comments section on the Boston Globe you see some people defending Bloom and Henry. The real question is why you make such a big deal of how many Bloom defenders there are here. There's a handful. So what?
-
It's a 3 year contract. As far as power, it was down all over baseball this year. Abreu's 2022 OPS+ of 133 was bang on his career average. He takes walks and doesn't strike out much. He's very durable. He's a pro through and through. I think it's a very good signing for the Stros. They are showing how it's done.
-
Heh. Large and short AKA the Obese Dwarf of contracts, a relatively new species.
-
You have a fair point about priorities. At the same time signing Contreras, and having the catcher position looked after for a few years, would not be the worst thing.
-
I don't see why it would be a bad signing at the projected 4/84.
-
His health is a question mark I'm pretty sure no one has the answer on yet. If he's healthy the $4 mill could be a great bargain. If he's not he's useless. Pretty sure that Bloom wants to give scenario #1 every chance.
-
Yes, it's a combination of s***** things.
-
You might be the only person who would even think of that as a possibility.
-
They've already gone public that Whitlock is in the 2023 rotation. I think you can pencil that in.
-
It's the last place finish this year that really has the knives out for Bloom.
-
And then there's the bullpen.
-
Duquette's Red Sox and Theo's Red Sox never finished last. One of the things driving Sox fans batty right now is the 5 last place finishes since 2012. Bloom is somewhat the victim of much higher expectations that Sox fans have now too, no question about that.
-
Probably not. The real question is whether there is any FA we want to sign at the money they're going to get.
-
The Sox don't have any luxuries at all. They're a 78 win team that has gotten significantly worse since the season ended.
-
Do you think we're going to get a bat like Abreu for cheap? Who might that be?
