Phil is not on my good list. He better make amends tomorrow!
-
And once again, why should he go higher and bid against himself?
-
And anyway, the players can't strike until the current CBA expires, which is 2021, I believe. We'll be in the cliff years by then, so no big loss.
-
We don't know whether it's an actual 'change' though, or just a perfect storm of things coming together to make this offseason so slow. Also, it's not like the offers out there are unreasonable. The Red Sox offer to JD is certainly very fair. Supposedly, Hosmer has 2 seven year offers (more than reasonable for the player) but he is holding out for 8 or more years. That sounds more like a problem with the players, not the owners.

Solid post oldtimer.

Yes, it will absolutely be their own fault if the Sox hit a cliff. -
I understand that winning or losing in the World Series is a toss up. It's one of the reasons that I'm not in favor of the 'win now' philosophy. A team can be all in and come away with nothing. However, since winning the WS is the ultimate goal, if a team does win the championship, then IMO, the moves made, including depletion of the farm system, are justified. I agree that the Sox can reload, but until it happens, the cliff exists.
-
The next wave that is already in their system, but not yet ranked in the top 100. I'm just going by what I've read. And yes, Theo can rebuild the farm system while winning. He is the GOAT.
-
Signing Clay to a minor league deal would be a no brainer, much like picking up his first $13 mil option several years back was a no brainer.
-
Happy for Mookie, but I'm not sure this is the best thing for the Red Sox, and I'm not talking about the extra $3 mil they had to shell out. The arb salaries are getting out of hand too.
-
The Sox will only feel compelled to call him up if he's pitching well.
-
It could be that Clay actually pitches better than our 5th, 6th, 7th starters.
-
I am pretty sure Betts would have been gone anyway. He's not giving the Red Sox a discount, and some other team will give him crazy money, more than the Sox are willing to give.
-
Having all of our other starters injured is not the only reason that Buch would start.
-
Or it might mean that they are playing better than the players they are replacing.
-
A fellow poster on another site took a shot at Theo (how dare he?) because the Cubs don't have any prospects in the top 100. There are 3 reasons why what Theo has done is okay but what Dombrowski has done is not: 1. Theo built that farm so it was his to do with as he saw fit. It was time for his 5 year plan to come to fruition, which it did. Which brings me to reason 2. 2. The Cubbies won a World Series Championship with the trades Theo made. If the Red Sox win a championship in the next 2 years, I'll take back every cliff comment I ever made. 3. Even after the championship, the Cubbies 'window' is longer than ours. They are still set for long enough that they will have their next wave of prospects ready to go when they need them.

I posted about a week ago that I have stopped coming home with the expectation that there would be any big baseball news. I now come home with quite the opposite expectation. It's kind of sad. LOL
-
Dude is an on base machine though.
-
I still feel very confident that JD will be with the Red Sox come spring training.
-
Well I certainly don't want Dombrowski bidding against himself for JD. JD reportedly has a very fair offer. It takes two to tango.
-
I think Boras may have done JD a disservice by throwing out that $210/7yr initial asking price. We all realize that JD was not going to get that, but it appears that JD was thinking he would get at least $150 mil, if not more. He still might get that, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
-
But if those things happen, that means both players are playing well. Good for the Red Sox.
-
Truck Day is a week away!

They can't strike until this CBA expires.
