    We are in complete agreement Hitch.
  2. Kimmi
    Also, if the Sox do give him $400+ mil, prepare for another cliff in about 2028.
  3. Kimmi
    Thank you. I thought the Sox did well also.
  4. Kimmi
    I will not be happy.
  5. Kimmi
    So long as the crazy GM is not ours, we are good to go.

    I think by demanding the Dodgers take Price, we got less of a return for Mookie than we would have otherwise.
  7. Kimmi
    My prediction: The Sox will win another WS before the Dodgers do.

    People need to keep this in mind. The budget matters. It doesn't matter how much money Henry has, he is not going to spend without limit. This is the reason why you don't give Mookie a $420 mil contract.

    I am not willing to throw this season away. There is too much talent on the team to do so. Starting pitching, already our biggest area of weakness, was made even weaker by trading Price. I bet there is a move for a starting pitcher in our near future. Clay Buchholz anyone?

    Somebody's tweet, though I can't recall whose: Red Sox went from 48.6 to 43.3 projected WAR. After the 3 projected division winners it goes Angels and then the Sox and Rays tied. Sox have work to do and money to play with. LA's moves tonight made them go from 50.7 projected WAR to 52.6 So, even with Mookie being traded, we are projected to be in the wildcard race. With money to play with. One of Bloom's areas of strength supposedly will come with upcoming trades and tweaks throughout the season.

    I would not pay Mookie that amount. I am good with the return that we got. I know I'm in the minority, but I'm more upset about losing one of our starting pitchers.
  12. Kimmi
    I am reading a lot of negative comments about the trade. I understand the anger/frustration of losing Betts. That said, the point of trading Betts was to improve the long-term outlook of the team, something that was needed after the Dombrowski years. In that regard, this trade is a big plus. IMO, Verdugo in place of Mookie would have kept the Sox in contention in 2020. Also losing Price, however, is a different story. Our pitching depth was already paper thin. It remains to be seen what other moves Bloom might make though.
  13. Kimmi
    I actually think that without half-price Price, the return would have been a little bit better.
  14. Kimmi
    Not when he's demanding as much money as he is. It is very difficult to tie that much money up into one player and sustain a winning team. I know Henry can afford it, but that doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do.
  15. Kimmi
    I really, really hope that the Sox do not outbid everyone next offseason. It kind of defeats the purpose.
  16. Kimmi
    Henry lost his way after the back to back last place finishes. He really did. He did an about face pretty much everything he believed in since he became the Sox owner. IMO, he is now trying to get back to his previous ways, hence the sudden whiplash. I don't think the return for Mookie constitutes a steep discount, not after considering the years of control we are getting in the two players. The mistake, IMO, was including Price as nothing more than a salary dump.
  17. Kimmi
    Of course the Yankees cheated, as did pretty much every other team to some extent or another. Sign-stealing is not limited to the Astros and the Sox. I'm not saying that the Astros and the Sox don't deserve to be punished. However, the whining from some players of other teams about how they were cheated out of a championship (Yes, CC, I'm looking at you) is rather hypocritical.

    I love this dude Carrabis.
  19. Kimmi
    It was 74 here yesterday and 71 today. I keep telling you guys to move south!
  20. Kimmi
    I love when players show up early too. Good omen, indeed.
  21. Kimmi
    I really don't disagree with most of what you said, though I think the Sox are a strong contender for the at least the 2nd WC. IMO, the Sox can take a hit on offense and still be very good offensively. It's going to come down to how healthy our starting pitchers are this season. I am confident that if we trade Mookie, the return will be sufficient enough to keep the team in contention.
  22. Kimmi
    LOL Oy.
  23. Kimmi
    It may be my bias, but I think the Sox hold the negotiating power over the Dodgers and Padres in this case. If Bloom doesn't get what he's looking for, he doesn't trade Mookie. There are worse things that could happen to the Sox. Remaining competitive is still supposedly a higher priority than resetting the tax this year.
  24. Kimmi
    As am I. Patience is a good thing here.
  25. Kimmi
    I tend to agree with this. I think the idea that players no longer care or play hard once they have a big contract is very largely a false one. I don't think that is something that we would have to worry about with Mookie. IMO, he will play his hardest until he can't play anymore.
