  1. Works for me right now.
  2. Maybe Henry was scared Bogey might actually consider an offer that was within 50 million or so of the best offer, so he made sure to be ridiculously short. Plus it was good for some laughs all over the sports world.
  3. It's an irrelevant question. The Sox offer was 57.9% of the Padres offer.
  4. I asked mvp about what years the really good free agent classes were, and he hasn't gotten back to me.
  5. Pretty sure no one can answer that.
  6. We won 78 and Detroit won 66. They got a higher draft pick. We're not so different!
  7. It really seems like the Sox FO misread where prices were going. Which is a plain and simple failure and casts more doubt on their acumen as it currently stands.
  8. Your contributions are always welcome.
  9. Bloom likes cheese, I guess.
  10. As the popular current saying goes, this just isn't a hill I'm willing to die on.
  11. Please understand, my complaints about Betts are not with Bloom, they're with Krampus.
  12. Schwarber can't field at all, or run. He hit .218. He struck out 200 times. He's not without obvious deficiencies. Would I like him as our DH in 2023? Hell yes. His power and his walks make him a big asset on O.
  13. You have to talk to Henry about it first.
  14. Before the season? No. The offer before the season was tacking on 1 year and $30 mill.
  15. 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.
  16. It was zero and it's still zero.
  17. 2022 fWAR Bogaerts 6.1 Schwarber 2.6 There's more to the game than HR's.
  18. 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.
  19. For me it feels like we've already seen the defining moments, with Betts and Bogey. How much more can you define yourself?
  20. 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.
  21. And frankly, that's a sad reason to like a signing.
  22. You could be dead wrong about Bloom, too, though. If Bloom is so smart, why did he expose Ward instead of Ort?
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. Maybe so. But I think you have to draw the line somewhere on stretching contracts to reduce AAV.
