  1. Actually the Yankees have become much like that too, as they showed with the Ottavino salary dump last year.
  2. Some crazy pitching in this Rays-Guardians game.
  3. If he had no limits, Mookie would still be with the team, and Bogaerts and Devers would be locked up long term. That seems like proof enough in itself.
  4. Well, you have to give them credit, they have had a window open a LONG time.
  5. What most of us believe, and what we think has been proven over time, is that JH is willing to have one of the highest payrolls in baseball every year, but he also has his limits, which he showed most recently by letting Mookie go. And we know that JH could spend much more than he does if he really wanted to, by digging into his own pocket, but he's shown that he isn't willing to do it. So what is it exactly that you disagree with, and what is it that you believe about JH and his spending? Or what have I not stated properly?
  6. You should never blame the fans for anything. All they really do is pay the bills.
  7. The crazy thing about the A-Rod near-deal was that the Red Sox only needed to pay an additional $12 million to get it done. But they balked, probably figuring they could come back to it. Then Aaron Boone played some pick-up basketball, and the rest is history.
  8. I don't think that's true.
  9. We're all gonna have to work on that LOL
  10. Bloom: But John, we have to pay a mighty steep premium for those healthy arms.
  11. FWIW a recent article in the Globe about Whitlock made it sound like he is definitely gearing up to be in the rotation on Opening Day 2023.
  12. And I'm a sucker for bringing Eovaldi back. Seems pretty unlikely though. If Bloom passes on QO's for both Wacha and Eovaldi, he better have a darn good reason.
  13. Speaking of Wacha, he was brutal his final two starts of the year. Wonder what that was about.
  14. So "hardly a rarity"?
  15. That's a pretty yucky way to look at things.
  16. As a wise man once said: "It's a good thing we're not paid to run the Red Sox."
  17. On Ottavino's transactions page it shows the Sox sent a PTBNL, but it doesn't say who that turned out to be. Also worth noting, I guess, is that Ottavino had a fine 2022 season and only made $4 million.
  18. 14-11 to be exact.
  19. I don't think this is correct.
  20. Showalter has never been in a World Series. And he made a horrific managerial error in the Wild Card Game the O's lost to the Jays, failing to use Britton with the game on the line in hopes of a save opportunity that never came. Nobody's perfect.
  21. He was traded for Sale, so that easily justifies it.
  22. Kopech has a career fWAR of 2.7. How good is he? Still pretty hard to say. Injuries have derailed him a lot, obviously.
  23. I see some of that, but the team did make the ALCS in 2021, and did they really "have to bring JBJ back"? And frankly they should have spent Story's money on pitching. We didn't really have to fail in 2022.
