As far as "shocking" deadline trades, I don't think Vazquez registers very high. I think Yankee fans were a lot more shocked by Montgomery being traded for a defensive outfielder who's on the IL.
-
And frankly he has no reason to be unhappy, especially with a monster payday in his near future.
-
The Yankee first base situation in 2021 was not ideal either, as I pointed out.
-
It's a blip, IMHO.
-
Great news, the Sox only had to pay 17.5 mill, and it only counted as 12 mill for tax purposes! But seriously, one of those prospects better work out.
-
Bogey has been struggling at the plate for a while, by his standards. What are the signs it has anything to do with his attitude? Bogey is in a contract season, too. That tends to be a huge motivator.
-
But again, Devers is having a great season. If he doesn't look motivated, I'm not sure what motivated looks like.
-
With all the talk about Bogey being disrespected, he did say he was happy when the team informed him well in advance of the deadline that he wasn't going to be traded. He said it was good communication.

If the 2023 Red Sox muddle around .500 again, it might put Bloom's job in some jeopardy. Henry knew this was going to take some patience. When does his patience end, is the question.
-
What does that even mean, Bloom has "lost" Devers? Devers is having the best season of his career. Too bad all players couldn't be lost like that.
-
I think that's pretty questionable. I think a high percentage of fans will remember it as ownership letting Mookie go because they wouldn't pay him what he wanted.
-
Saw what coming, exactly?
-
Maybe the biggest problem this franchise has is the terrible draft record over the last decade or so. Our drafts, domestic and international, have produced 3 elite MLB players since 2009. But the last of them was in 2013. Bogaerts-2009 Betts-2011 Devers-2013 Obviously some recent ones might join the list eventually, but it's kind of a nasty drought...
-
LOL Hey, he has a .429 OBP!
-
Many of us have wondered WTH happened in those "negotiations". Today I'm thinking it is a little strange that the Sox didn't make a counter to Mookie's counter, even if only for the sake of PR. Based on what we know about Henry, it seems possible he just got pissed off and said eff this, move on to Bogaerts and Sale.
-
My real position is an agnostic one right now. I think 2023 will be a defining year for him.
-
But Russia is willing to trade her for a convicted murderer, cash considerations and a rapist to be named later.
-
Chris Gasper asked Mookie flat out if 12/365 would have kept him in Boston and Mookie said yes. Whether it was true, who knows.
-
In a recent column in the Globe Peter Abraham wrote about how Mookie has become the face of the Dodgers and makes some troubling insinuations about how this wasn't possible in Boston.
-
Dewey I'm sorry you feel that way. I always like your contributions, even when I disagree, and I notice it when you're not here.
-
Good point.
-
As we often say here, what would you expect Bloom to say?
-
Actually, yes, the Yankees were in a very similar situation last year, and that's why they got Rizzo at the deadline. Ask and ye shall receive!
-
Don't forget fun.
-
And that does seem credible.
