  1. Henry IS one of the big boys. He's a billionairre with an estimated net worth of $6,000,000,000 (six BILLION dollars). He is apparently tired of spending like a big boy. A couple of years ago he declared that he wanted to get the budget under control, which is his right. Last year the Sox were 12th (middle third) after years of being much higher. Truth is, its not so much that the spending isn't there: its HOW the money has been spent. Dumpster diving is not going to make the team relevant again.
  2. What makes you think that the meeting, if it happens, isn't just for show?
  3. I don't mind not getting Soto-unless the Yankees get him. Our need is pitching. We need one or two top flight SPs to become relevant again and we need our existing RPs to pitch a lot better. Not so worried about our offense. One good RH bat and I think we are OK as long as we get better pitching.
  4. That would depend on whether or not Henry knew that $675M/15 would not get the deal done. If he makes the offer knowing it would be refused I'd still believe that Henry doesn't know what the words "full throttle" actually mean. Personally, I am skeptical that we will land ANY of the big names, given the recent history of the team dumpster diving.
  5. What are you worried about? We just added Zavala and Eaton!!! Our season looks so much brighter now! 🙄
  6. I believe that Henry is all talk (remember "full throttle"?). He isn't going to shell out that kind of money for Soto or for anyone else. Unfortunately the Flops are going to have to pay a premium now to obtain top flight FA talent. Boston is not a desired destination. The players know that Henry is on a cost cutting mission and they are in it, for the most part, to get paid.
  7. Ticket sales and attendance are already down year to year. Another crap team and I think they will plummet. Henry deserves to see a lot of empty seats at the park if his "full throttle" is set in reverse again.
  8. They'll almost certainly do SOMETHING. The question is, will it be enough to make the team relevant again. This year, I think not. Maybe next year.
  9. My guess is that we won't get either, nor will we get Soto. This ownership group isn't really serious about their team becoming competitive. I don't believe a word they say, only what they do, after last year's "full throttle" comment. We went full throttle-in reverse.
  10. Yeah, but THIS season we are going FULL THROTTLE! Nothing to worry about.
  11. Who's "Pumpsie"? Nah, this is my franchise, though its a crap one. You find another one if you like.
  12. They didn’t deserve third place. What a crap franchise!
  13. Freds in Hawaii ignoring the Flops. But yes-finishing behind the the Rays with a losing record would thrill me . Screw John Henry and his “full throttle” bs.
  14. This bullpen is perfectly capable of doing what’s needed. Just lose baby!
  15. This bullpen is perfectly capable of doing what’s needed. Just lose baby!
  16. Wonder if ownership will go “full throttle” again. The results of that were nothing short of astounding this year
  17. Never Makes you lose your hair He’ll sign. It’s a lot of money for a goalie either way.
  18. He’ll get signed I bet. The Bruins are rebuilding too. They’ll be decent but not a championship team.
