    This all started with the question of who makes the call on whether we're buyers or sellers at the deadline. Generally that is dictated by the circumstances at the time. Also generally, it doesn't involve big outlays of cash because what you're buying is tail ends of contracts, and what you're paying with is prospects. I believe Henry would leave most of this in Bloom's hands, yes.

    The Jays starting pitching is a big question mark for sure.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Other pitchers have gotten more and done worse, too, of course, so that statement doesn't mean a whole lot. FanGraphs says he has earned $19 million on this deal so far. His AAV to date is about $29 million ($17 + $7 + $5). So he's in the mild bust zone with 1.7 years left to go.

    Thanks Dave!

    I'm with you. Eovaldi fanboy here.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Bloom is living up to his Rays pedigree as a finder of pitching.
  7. Bellhorn04
    That's free agency. Can you spend the $20M better is the question.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Eovaldi is under contract through 2022.
  9. Bellhorn04
    They still are a team to watch. It's a 4 team race. The Yankees and Rays are both on a roll right now.
  10. Bellhorn04
    All the advanced stats say Eovaldi is pitching considerably better than his ERA. As moon posted elsewhere, he has given up an OPS of .647. He hasn't given up a single long ball. We'll see if his luck turns around.

    Was trading Nomar a "major move"? Because all the reports indicate that was Theo's call. If you're talking about big free agent contracts, then of course ownership has to approve those.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Yes I knew that. I'm asking what you mean about Henry's MO since 2003 on deadline decisions. The first big deadline decision under Henry was in 2004 when we traded Nomar, and as far as I know that was Theo's call all the way. When has Henry not left those calls to his head of baseball ops?
  13. Bellhorn04
    What exactly are you talking about?
  14. Bellhorn04
    Cordero I would think.
  15. Bellhorn04
    Which we know Bloom won't do.
  16. Bellhorn04
    I think the only part Henry would be greatly interested in is whether moves put us over the tax threshold.
  17. Bellhorn04
    That would be better than the Sox losing their next 5.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Slash 299/373/519 OPS 891
  19. Bellhorn04
    In spite of all that the Red Sox have never had a low payroll under Henry. He knows that's part of the deal. He's a pretty smart dude.
  20. Bellhorn04
    This new mock draft has Leiter and Rocker dropping to 5 and 6. So the Red Sox could have a shot at either of these guys and still pass? Interesting.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Looks like Dalbec Fever is back on. And I'll say it again, Cora has done a great job handling his struggles.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Steals are overrated. Ability to take the extra base, and making consistently good decisions are probably more important.
  23. Bellhorn04
    The one thing I wondered about Mookie was whether his conventional offensive numbers would hold up, especially moving to a less friendly park. The jury is out on that.
  24. Bellhorn04
    His norm is an .891 OPS with elite defense and base running.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Ted said we were a 72-90 team. I much prefer your takes.
