It's a two-way street though. Mookie always seemed very content to go to free agency and play hardball.
-
The one thing we do know is that wasn't the case.
-
One thing I admire on Mookie's part is that he hasn't said anything about how he was willing to negotiate and couldn't understand why the Red Sox wouldn't, or that type of thing. He said they didn't owe him anything and he didn't owe them anything.
-
When it's all said and done, it could turn out to be 100% the right move. Or not.
-
The 3 second rule introduced to replace the rule against zone defense in 2001-2002 was a new one, I believe.
-
As the OP, I would prefer we didn't turn this into another general Red Sox thread.
-
You don't think getting a starter who is currently 3-0 with a 2.81 ERA a pretty good return for Workman?
-
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.
