Yes, I just read that myself. Nothing but opinions from Shaughnessy. No quotes from anyone.
-
So that's two facts everyone knows and an opinion. I'm not doing research on your bogus claims, thanks.
-
Their record is worse this year than it was in 2019. That's a simple fact.
-
Tell you what, Nick, show us one credible source that confirms every move Theo made in those "early years" was approved by Lucchino. Just one.
-
I know plenty, and I know you don't mind making stuff up.
-
Nope. Rays were 96-66 in 2019. They're 69-55 in 2022.
-
Nonsense.
-
You know this how?
-
Seems like a meaningless comparison to me. They didn't get under the tax line at the deadline because they thought the team still had a shot with Sale and Wacha coming back.
-
Nice gibberish.
-
Way to gloss over the point about Theo. You're good at that, I find.
-
To me the Story signing seems like a case of "you can't win". People beeched about the lack of big signings and when they finally did one, they beeched about the signing.
-
Theo had no experience as a GM when the Sox hired him either. If you always go with experienced guys you basically have to get someone who was just fired by another team, like DD.
-
The other aspect of this is everyone sees what Friedman has done with the Dodgers. Friedman was part of the Rays Way and now he's Rays Way Plus Money. I think Henry likewise envisioned the Red Sox could be Rays Way Plus Money.
-
There's no question that a lot of the support for Bloom comes from the belief that the Rays Way Works. I'm pretty sure that's why Henry hired him, too.
-
Amazingly I've never encountered that acronym until now. It's a good one all right.
-
Nope, nobody thinks that.
-
We know that, Denny, we really do.
-
From what I've gathered, most people only consider an ace a guy who's on a Hall of Fame track.
-
They were the most aggressive team.
-
Right, like the Texas Rangers, who spent $500 million on Seager and Semien and have since fired the GM and the manager!
-
It certainly should have by now.
-
OK Mr. Circular Argument.
-
Reese McGuire has a .906 OPS with the Red Sox. And he's a good defensive catcher. That's one of Bloom's deadline moves that is looking good. And he shed Diekman and his 2023 salary in that trade.
-
He did have a plan. It was explained in the article by Speier we have both referred to. I thought you read that article.
