More from Big Papi: "You cannot imagine how many times I wrote to Devers trying to give him advice...he almost never returned my messages." Wow. Pretty strange that Devers wouldn't communicate with Ortiz, who would seem like one of the first people on the planet he should be listening to.- 827 replies

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
Bellhorn04 replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Why in the name of God do you want to move Bregman? -
Meanwhile the team is actually playing pretty good right now.
-
Devers is selfish and the Sox had to do this. I think we'll look back on this as a good move for the franchise.
-
True. Either Refsnyder or Gonzo are perfect for that.
-
I think Bregman has a legit chance at the HOF if he stays reasonably healthy. He's a good example of a guy who is rewarded by WAR, because he's such a complete player.
-
If Yoshida could step into the DH spot and OPS .800, that would take some more sting out of this. Big if of course.
-
The most piercing gazes will be directed at our run production. 😉
-
I get what you're saying, but it's been reported that they communicated to Devers when he signed his extension that they had some expectations of him being the face of the team. I would assume he affirmed this to them at the time.
-
All depends on the pitching. Giolito, Buehler, Crochet, Dobbins, Bello, all just pitched excellent games. And I'll be the first to admit I didn't see 5 good starts in a row coming. We only scored 15 runs in the 5 games but won them all.
-
Pitching is the key. The Yankees series demonstrated that.
-
Well, I did hate the Betts trade and the Sale trade. We'll see about this one. This one is more about if they spend the money they're saving.
-
Big Papi says: “Players need to take this as an example, nobody is indispensable," Ortiz said. "You have to be available, that was the end of the relationship between Devers and the Red Sox. You need to be smart to understand the situation. Your worst enemy is your ego.” David actually adds another criticism to the pile there - Raffy's reluctance to talk to the media. That bothered the team as well.

More concerning news from Clickbait Central!
-
They signed Bregman, they extended Crochet. I don't blame you for hoping they're not spenders any more.
-
I suggest you calm down and cool it with the insults. I'm just expressing my opinion, and there are others who feel the same as I do.
-
Getting the extension done with Crochet warmed me up to the organization a bit. I think they're trying again.
-
They got $250 million off the books. That's a pile of money for a DH.
-
I expect the Giants made a big push to get it done, and Breslow decided it was about as good an offer as was coming. Not that many teams could even afford to take on Devers's contract.
-
Yeah, well, at the end of the day not many free agents turn down the highest offer.
-
I don't know, man. A lot of people sure made a big deal out of Raffy's attitude the last few months. I think the team got backed into a corner by him. He was kind of thumbing his nose at them. That's not good when you have 8+ years left to pay him.
-
Don't say that! 😉
-
It's not apples to apples but Detroit's guaranteed money was significantly more.
-
Before the ground ball, he refused to play first base when the team asked him to. He bad-mouthed the people he works for. Absolving Devers here is ridiculous IMHO. He put the team in a terrible position.

So what. You think trading Devers is a bigger deal than trading Betts?
