Pablo, Hanley and Castillo cost about a quarter billion in total, for a net productivity of roughly zero.
-
Could do both.
-
I hope Eovaldi takes the QO. Risky as heck but so are most pricey pitchers.
-
Right on.
-
Our payroll crunch is tied to our talent shortage.

It's hard to succeed no matter what you do. The Dodgers have been spending big and kicking ass in the regular season, but only have one ring to show for it, in a COVID-shortened season. The Mets broke the bank this year and won one playoff game. The Astros look like the best run team right now. But they went and ditched their HOBO for some reason.

Choosing the difference between trading him for something or keeping him one more year is like a choice between...well, any two really s***ty things you can think of.
-
True, but you also don't make billions by totally ignoring your customers. There's a "happy medium" somewhere between...

2021 attendance was shrunk by COVID measures. The attendance for the Sox 2021 home opener shows as 4,452.
-
So you were doing some really good 'shrooms at the time. But seriously, even the idea was Mookie was intent on free agency is pure speculation. He did say he gave serious consideration to an earlier extension offer from the Sox.
-
We're not. But the Sox do have the third highest market value after NYY and LAD, per Forbes.
-
To be fair, what some people think is that the Sox should have had a more serious negotiation with Mookie, and they may be right.
-
That's what some fans want, sure. But of course if you break the bank on a guy and he doesn't meet expectations, they're furious. Of course a fairly high % of fans are just miserable pricks who want everything their way.
-
As I've said before, there's no such thing as fair market value with MLB free agents, because it doesn't operate like a normal market.
-
They never have been.
-
That sure doesn't sound like Devers Forevers!
-
It does make sense to lean toward the non-QO'd FA's.
-
It seems like a Jerry Jones-Jimmy Johnson type of thing where the owner wanted more credit. Maybe it's a Texas thing.
-
Sorry man, but you did issue a qualifier, in post #166.
-
That's not a problem. Without them we would have sucked much worse. Their price tags? Yeah, that could be a problem.
-
Screw them. Ex-Yankee Eovaldi did some very good things for us, and did some of them against the Yankees. Whitlock and Refsnyder are former Yankee properties who have done well for us so far too.
-
Gallo would be fine--as long as other more stimulating moves are also made.
-
Groome was the lottery ticket.
-
They have around $95 million. That's after Bogey opting out.
-
Bloom works for Henry. Henry fires HOBO's who don't get the results he wants.
