    The overreactions are funny, but it's all part of the 3 ring circus of being a sports fan...

    It appears to me that in the 2018-2019 offseason they went to Betts first. When that fell through they went to Sale and Bogey. The Sale and Bogey extensions came together right at the end of that offseason. I guess the puzzle will always be why they didn't make a bigger offer to Betts. $300 mill wasn't an insult by any means, but it wasn't what you'd call a strong opening offer.

    You're kind of pushing some political buttons here.

    As Sox75 asked, who really gets hurt by this?
  5. Bellhorn04
    100% on all points.

    The Mets and Lindor showed how one of these negotiations is supposed to go when both parties want to get it done. And frankly, Lindor did a lot better than Mookie compared to his value.

    If it was all about wasted money and luxury tax, the seeds of destruction were sowed sooner than that, with $256 million flushed on Pablo/Hanley/Rusney.

    Not all, actually. There were some posters here who didn't want to give him the mega-contract. I wasn't one of them.
  9. Bellhorn04
    Very fair questions. But we're all in danger of falling into the hole of an acrimonious political discussion here.

    John Means Business was the story of this one.

    Swihart's Ghost nuts?

    That would be Eovaldi, Sale and Bogey. But they also let Kimbrel go and signed nothing in the way of relievers. I think there's a lot more to it than that. It was an accumulation of things that bloated the payroll. Even a guy 'under control' like Mookie was suddenly quite expensive. Not that he wasn't worth it and more. But it has gotten really difficult to be a good team for long without the payroll mushrooming. Look at the Dodgers this year.

    Sounds like being sent to the Gulag LOL

    Keep in mind the fellow who started this thread has been trash talking us big time. I couldn't pass up such an opportunity for fun.
  15. Bellhorn04
    They do, plus they don't have many options LOL But seriously, hoping for the best from Houck. He looked good his last couple of appearances.
  16. Bellhorn04
    If our offense is basically home run or nothing like the Yankees, I would have a problem, yes.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Also, Yankee fans think Boone is a doofus too.

    It's almost as if Cashman has some fundamental weaknesses in his understanding of the game of baseball. With regard to the shortstop issue, he had a perfectly good shortstop and let him walk, and now Torres is shoehorned into the wrong position.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Joel Sherman says the opening day loss exposed the Yankees' two biggest weaknesses: -"Gleyber Torres is a second baseman playing shortstop" -"The Yankees remain challenged to score when the ball does not clear a fence" Sometimes you have to wonder about Cashman's roster construction philosophy.

    A game that sets the tone for the whole season.
  21. Bellhorn04
    So Bloom actually picked up 4 pitchers from the Yankees: Ottavino and German by trade, and Whitlock and Ort in the Rule 5 Draft.
  22. Bellhorn04
    No, please don't even joke about that.
  23. Bellhorn04
    I don't know. But going into that series, whichever team won 2 of 3 would win the division. The Tigers won the first two to clinch. The Red Sox won the meaningless last game. It was an exciting season though.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sporting News was awesome. Baseball Digest was pretty cool as well.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Hey, I still remember listening on the radio to the crucial 1972 game against the Tigers when Luis Aparicio fell down rounding third base...
