    I don't care one bit about the Cubs or any other team than the Red Sox......and in a negative way about the Yankees. Attend all the Cubs games you like. Stay home from the Red Sox games. Let Henry know this is not acceptable.

    That would make us LESS THAN mediocre. We should be playing meaningful baseball nearly every September, but we haven't been. I'd question anyone claiming to be an ardent fan who is satisfied with the dung heap Henry is putting out there for the last several years. I know I am not part of those who sit and smile drooling at the bums that have made up our team for the last several years.

    Red Sox fans are some of the most ardent and loyal fans on the planet. I doubt a significant number of people at the park are fans of other teams. As ardent die hard fans we always want what is best for the team. Usually thats hoping they win as much as possible. Sometimes its hoping they lose to improve their draft position. And ardent fans want a winner on the field-ideally a WS winner, but at the very least a team that competes for a playoff spot nearly every year. That has not happened recently, and its the fault of ownership and management. We have limited ways to demonstrate our displeasure, and one way is to BOYCOTT the park.

    I am not TELLING anyone what to do. You misunderstand me. I am ENCOURAGING everyone to do the right thing and STAY HOME. Do not support a billionairre cheapskate owner who thinks its fine to put a mediocre (or worse) product on the field.
  5. FredLynn
    And those people are even more disgusting than Henry, as a wrote earlier. Those who attend games accept mediocrity or worse. I am proud not to be one of them.
  6. FredLynn
    Yes-but the "entertainment value"!!! And I believe still below the LT despite going "full throttle". Ownership isn't fooling anyone with half a brain. They talk the talk but never walk the walk, at least not recently.
  7. FredLynn
    Our "entertainment needs" are not being met be last place finishes year after year and putting a bunch of losers on the field who really aren't good enough for the playoffs in the years they don't finish last. This is NOT a small market team. Henry is playing it like it is, but its not a small market team. NO ONE should accept the garbage teams he has put on the field for years. The only language he will understand is an empty ballpark. Lets hope that the fans stay HOME.

    We aren't getting Vlad. Too expensive for our cheapskate owner. We aren't getting Santander either. Likely even Bregman is too expensive. We are "interested in" all these guys, but it ends there. Henry is pathetic, but the fan base that goes to the games to support these antics are even worse.
  9. FredLynn
    Yeah. Lets see what Henry can drag out of the bottom of the barrel on the cheap. This team isn't going to be relevant until he opens his purse. You know it. I know it. Get some more clothespins because there's going to be another stinky year ahead.
  10. FredLynn
    It was apparently an easy choice for the cheapskate Henry to make. A reclamation project for one year vs an established very good SP for 6. How disgusting is this? Cross Burnes and Hernandez off the list. They haven't even met with Sasaki. Bregman is on the decline. I guess Santander would be acceptable, but we aren't getting him either. Everyone should hold their noses. Again. I am already counting these buffoons out of October baseball.
  11. FredLynn
    Burnes signed with the DBacks. There are no signs that Henry is serious about making these goons a competitive team. Lets see how much more BS the fans will take before they stop going to the park or buying Flops products. I know I won't be going to the park or supporting this team with my wallet at all. Hopefully many others will join me.
  12. FredLynn
    Well Hernandez is off the table. Despite our clear need for a good RHB the Flops were apparently never close to signing him. Henry has become a disgusting owner. It’s obvious that he couldn’t care less about presenting a good product for the loyal fans. I am quite sure we aren’t getting anyone of quality to meet our needs.
  13. FredLynn
    Hey-don’t worry! Ownership has stated that they are going FULL THROTTLE to become competitive. Therefore I’m sure they’ll fill our needs and sign both Burnes and Hernandez.
  14. FredLynn
    Yeah. Henry has spent a BUNDLE going FULL THROTTLE to upgrade the team. With trades and reclamation projects. This team doesn't deserve its loyal fan base.
  15. FredLynn
    I was unaware of how the bidding process works, that you are limited on how much you can offer. As long as Henry made a max bid that’s all you can ask for. That said, I don’t exactly see evidence that they are serious about obtaining any of the high profile FAs. Burnes and Hernandez are still available. Bregman might help a bit but he’s “Hernandez-light”. I can’t even remember the last expensive FA they signed. All talk. No action.
  16. FredLynn
    I get that. I cannot blame ownership for not bidding more than others if its not possible to do so. HOWEVER, how are the negotiations with Hernandez and Burnes going? Like others here reclamation dumpster diving doesn't cut it for me. Who exactly has Henry obtained that cost him significant money? He's trying to make the team relevant on the CHEAP and he's not fooling anyone.
  17. FredLynn
    I think that some fans are happy just to watch baseball regardless of whether or not your team stinks or is just mediocre. And thats fine. For me, I want to see a competitive team nearly every year,especially when I know the money is there to compete.
  18. FredLynn
    You don't know how high Cohen would have gone. Neither do I. And we will now never find out. The point is not that we lost out on any single FA because of Henry's budget. Its that we seem to lose out on ALL of them over the last few years, and the results are easy to see in our many last place or just out of the playoff finishes. Henry hired Bloom to get the budget under control, and that is what he did. Claiming last year that they were going "full throttle" was a bald faced lie. At least they could admit that they are going to budget like a small market team rather than lie to the fans. Who was the last highly talented high priced FA we signed? Not traded for.....signed.
  19. FredLynn
    There seems to be a limit on how much we could bid for Sasaki. Was there such a limit on Soto?
  20. FredLynn
    They BID 700M knowing that it wouldn't be enough. Its a common tactic from this ownership.
  21. FredLynn
    How do you know what he would accept?
  22. FredLynn
    I found this: "Is everyone in? Because Sasaki is beholden to the rules of the international signing period and bonus pools, there is a more level playing field than for other free agent signings. It’s been made clear that the bonus Sasaki receives to sign will not be the determining factor. The most any team could theoretically offer is just more than $7.5 million that eight teams (the A’s, Brewers, Mariners, Marlins, Rays, Reds, Tigers, Twins) have in their '25 pools. " https://www.mlb.com/news/roki-sasaki-free-agent-favorites Why not then offer the maximum amount that is possible within the rules? If we then lose out we cannot blame Henry. But if they don't max out then you can bet I WILL blame Henry.
  23. FredLynn
    Sure it is. Remember: the team has claimed to be "very interested" in Sasaki, like a whole lot of other talented players they never get.
  24. FredLynn
    Henry is a multi-BILLIONAIRE. He can outbid just about anyone for Sasaki if he wanted to. He's not interested in making the team competitive. He's interested in making money. I get that that is his right. But as fans no one should be going to the park or buying Red Sox products until there is evidence he's serious about making the team relevant.
  25. FredLynn
    He's another reclamation project, not a quality SP the likes of which we need to become relevant. Henry is trying to do it on the cheap AGAIN. Where's Burnes? Or that Japanese ace who was just posted? More mediocrity......
