I disagree. I don't think Bloom was lying when he explained in detail the thought process behind the deadline moves. He knew the team still had an outside shot this year, especially thinking that Sale would be back at the time, and that you can't just throw that away.
Your belief that Bloom wanted to burn it to the ground is pure personal speculation.
No. 365/12 = 30.42
There were reports about the deferred money bringing down the AAV, but they were incorrect - there was no adjustment, apparently because the interest rates at the time were so low.
The first thing I would say Nick, is that I don't think Bloom would tell Henry 2023 is the year to go all in to win a ring. But it's definitely a year to win 92+ games and have a chance at a ring. So we probably aren't making a run at deGrom. Maybe his old friend Syndergaard, though.
Sorry jad. A SeaDogs game would be great, but the trip would probably cost me two grand Canadian. And my wife has that money and several thousand more earmarked for a kitchen upgrade.
If I could jump in the Way Back Machine:
-Sign Gausman, McHugh, D. Robertson.
-Cancel Renfroe trade, Paxton signing, Hill signing, Diekman signing.
That would increase the payroll a bit is all.
I think the Story signing has gotten somewhat of a bum rap because of his Colorado numbers. His road OPS was close to Bogey's. And Fenway is well suited to his swing.
NCAA football brings out my grumpy side. It's semi-professional football sponsored by universities, with the richest universities fielding the best teams. Pretending that it's an amateur competition among student athletes is a joke.
You're 100% results-oriented. That's fine, a lot of people are. But you don't want to hear about how are farm is improving, because we're in last place.
