    Nah I’ll just stay here and provide my exceptional insight into the many ongoing failures of the Flops franchise. We will never win another ring with the current cheapskate owners in charge. They make me sick.
  2. FredLynn
    And now Bregman is off the table. Just signed with the Cubs. This Flops franchise is totally disgusting. They are wasting their window because Henry is a cheap SOB. The fans deserve better.
  3. FredLynn
    And in days on the IL.
  4. FredLynn
    Likely they couldn't get anyone to do the job because they weren't offering enough money. It usually comes down to that.
  5. FredLynn
    So basically Henry is the principal owner. If he and Werner decided to open up the purse and spend what it takes to compete for a ring they are fully capable of doing so. But its not happening.
  6. FredLynn
    I realize that its the GMs who choose HOW to spend the little money Henry allows to trickle down to them (obviously its not enough to secure top flight talent). Solution: get a new GM.
  7. FredLynn
    Yeah, well, so far all he is signing this year are some pretty dull objects.
  8. FredLynn
    Who is the principal owner of the franchise?
  9. FredLynn
    Of course he is spending.....some. But not enough, and not wisely. You just can't keep dipping into to rehab dumpster and expect to pull out roses. As for Devers, he did spend a lot. Where is the money he spent on him now? Mostly in his POCKET. But hey-the Henrys have to eat too, right?
  10. FredLynn
    Link?
  11. FredLynn
    I guess we aren’t “sold” on any high quality FAs.
  12. FredLynn
    Obviously we don’t spend enough to lure top talent here-and the dumpster diving players we do sign over the past 5-6 years simply aren’t good enough. Our won lost record is proof.
  13. FredLynn
    You’re missing the point. So let me spell it out for you: this franchise has a history of making low ball offers to talented players then making a litany of excuses as to why the players they were “ interested in” signed elsewhere. I don’t expect that to change. And I don’t expect the Flops will win another ring as long as Henry owns the team.
  14. FredLynn
    Right. like the “aggressive offer they made to Lester and more recently Soto and the rest of them. This assessment is a load of crap.
  15. FredLynn
    I like it better than what we have now. But we still need more talent. I’d like it better with Ranger Suarez and Marte. But as you pointed out, Henry is too cheap. He doesn’t place a high priority on winning anymore.
  16. FredLynn
    Not for top quality players-the kind that will facilitate contending for a ring in 2026. Just more dumpster diving, as usual. Marginal players, complementary players who could help once we obtain more talented players. Did you want to debate that fact?
  17. FredLynn
    All the acquisitions are sure to put us in position to contend for a ring. Such an impressive group of top flight talent!
  18. FredLynn
    Right! Because we have been so very active on the trade (and FA) market.
  19. FredLynn
    Forgot about Contreras. He will help too, but after last year's improvement it was time to significantly improve the team so that we can legitimately contend for a ring. I am not seeing it-just excuses. Now there are several players still out there who can help (not Bregman at 5-6 years) but I am not hearing of any movement towards getting them signed. And the best ones are already gone. I am not happy about this either.
  20. FredLynn
    Donovan isn’t going to put us over the top to contend for a ring. As of now we have…..Sonny Gray. This is a joke.
  21. FredLynn
    Who then? I don't think we are getting anyone of significance. Henry is too cheap to pay up.
  22. FredLynn
    This is a window we should not ignore. The building blocks are there. We have an ace and a budding superstar in Anthony. We have a gulp at SPing and OF and a decent farm to us as trade bait. And lots of $$ available if Henry would open his wallet. Our holes haven’t been addressed. idiots
  23. FredLynn
    I answered it. The Jays, the Orioles, and the Yankees added talent and we added….Gray and Contreras, who will maybe keep us keep level with those teams, but no one who will help us get better than they are relative to last year. I don’t just want to match in place next year. It’s time to accept nothing less than competing for a ring.
  24. FredLynn
    The Orioles improved their roster. The Yankees will be better this year because their ace is returning. The Jays got a better pitcher than Gray. And the Yankees and Jays started off ahead of the Flops. We had a lot of ground to make up. Gray and Contreras aren’t going to allow us to catch them. Basically we are wasting our window because Henry is too cheap to pay the top players. We haven’t even retained Bregman. We are not much better than we were last year. But our competition is.
  25. FredLynn
    Who have we gotten this year by trade or as a FA of significance, someone who is a top flight player who can make a big difference? No one you say? Correct
