A whole lot of pitchers are having good nights this season all over baseball. -
More brain-dead managing by Boone (not walking Mullins) leads to a loss.
-
Wow, talk about corroborating posts LOL
-
They made offers in previous years, including one for 8/$200 mill that he said he came close to accepting - and might have, if his mother didn't sort of talk him out of it.
-
The unpleasantness really didn't arise until they traded him. And was doubled, of course, when he signed with the Dodgers.
-
Yes, we've talked about this before. My guess is that when they got Mookie's demand, they saw no hope for a resolution at their number. Maybe they didn't want things to get drawn-out and public and unpleasant? It's all speculation.
-
I don't know. If the reports are accurate, Mookie asked for $420 million. My theory is that the Red Sox line in the sand was somewhere around $350 million. Keeping in mind that this was 2 years before his free agency, that would be very reasonable.
-
It wasn't quite the lowball insult that Lester's was.
-
Everyone here is entitled to their opinion. With the possible exception of Swihart's Ghost.
-
OTOH the 2021 Red Sox are showing you can win without Mookie.
-
I would say hiring Bloom and allowing Cora back are two more feathers in Henry's cap.
-
These Rays guys really know pitching. Not just how to spot good pitchers, but how to get the most out of each one.
-
Have to count that one as a surprise. He was on some folks' jettison list.
-
Yep, built too much like a Transformer.
-
The Red Sox are always going to have some high-priced players. If you look at the Dodgers, they said screw it to luxury tax considerations when they signed Bauer and retained Turner. They're over $260 K.
-
I agree, but to be fair, Verdugo's cost may also go up rather sharply when his arb years start.
-
He's hurt. "Lower body issue" is all Boone will disclose. Hip issue maybe?
-
Not sure what that has to do with anything. We were rather desperate for front-line pitching and in a window to compete for a title. That's why.
-
Oh yeah, I'm sure that's what JD Martinez was thinking about when he said that.
-
I'm sure they took a lot into consideration. But when you're talking about a guy who may be one of the best in baseball history, and you're the super-wealthy Boston Red Sox, it offends me to think they would let short-term budget and tax factors govern their efforts to retain him.
-
I don't really care what JDM said, although I love him as a hitter. Let's repeat it one more time: the Red Sox offered Mookie $300 million over 10 years. If he said yes, that's $30 million, ain't it...
-
One thing I've noticed that seems strange is that the Canadian sports channels are showing hardly any MLB games outside of Jays games this year. They used to show a pile of other games. That and the fact the Red Sox are playing so well is going to push me into an Extra Innings subscription.
-
My money is on Cordero being demoted ASAP.
-
How in the hell did Pivetta do that? Too funny.
-
Gausman is pitching very well for the Giants. As moon would say, where are those who laughed at the idea of him being worth the Qualifying Offer?
