    "Everything" has it's own special meaning to Red. We are just digging too deep into what words actually mean. He's not the only one pretending there is some legion of complete and total Bloom defenders and apologists. The ones of us who find ourselves adding context to bloom bashing posts or outright exposing falsities or partial falsities have all been critical, and at times highly critical of multiple moves by Bloom. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling a few posters who bash bloom often, have less examples of praising some of his good moves than we have on critical examples.

    They never said a player or two out of those 7-9 might be via trade- like trading away Verdugo and acquiring a SP, SS or RF'er.

    Has we not signed J Turner, he may have come our way.
  4. moonslav59
    I think that has been more out of necessity. Since the end of March, we've seen: $140M/6 Story $90M/5 Yoshida $32M/2 Jansen $17.5M/2 Martin Maybe a 2 year deal for Kluber and or Andrus is in the works.

    Isn't "my" a personal pronoun?

    Our future actually looks much better than the here and now, but as the great band The Smiths would sing... How Soon Is Now?
  7. moonslav59
    There is no guarantee the next guy will spend even as much as JH, which by the way, is still top 7 or 8 in MLB.
  8. moonslav59
    Drury signs for $17M/2 with Angels. Not a bad deal, IMO.
  9. moonslav59
    Me neither, and they both make way more. I even like Kike's deal over Haniger and Benis's due to his length of the deal and the fact we already have 2 starting LF'ers.
  10. moonslav59
    It's ultimately going to com e down to JH's decision, but will always be linked to Bloom. Devers would make the hat trick.
  11. moonslav59
    Yes, he should be compared to JD and J Turner, not Kike.
  12. moonslav59
    A lot of what has gone on, this winter, has been in secret. I'm not sure who said "galaxies apart," but if either side feels like that, it's not good.
  13. moonslav59
    Would you trade Kike for either Joc or Cody?
  14. moonslav59
    Are Pederson and Bellinger that much better, if better at all?
  15. moonslav59
    I'll take Kike and CF defense. Brantley had shoulder surgery.
  16. moonslav59
    It seems like many felt we could and would sign one. Now, that one is gone, all hope is gone.
  17. moonslav59
    Remember the talk on the Kike $10M extension and "other options?" Now, we can see what "other options" ended up getting: $9M/1 Kiermaier $11M/1 Gallo $12M/1 Brantley $17.5M/1 Bellinger $19/7M/1 Pederson $43.5M/3 Haniger $75M/5 Beni
  18. moonslav59
    These ex-Bloom guys keep going and going...
  19. moonslav59
    Ottavino sings for $14.5M/2.
  20. moonslav59
    I would think we should know real soon, if a deal can get done, or not. I doubt we'd wait until right before opening day to trade him, but I guess it's possible. Trading him at the deadline is possible, but I have to think we'd get more, now, that at the deadline. I hope we get a contract signed. The longer this goes on, the more I think he's a goner. Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but it just makes too much sense to sign him, on so many levels. I'm not sure "sense" applies, today, but I'm staying hopeful.
  21. moonslav59
    What? I haven't called Red a clown or anything!
  22. moonslav59
    Who hated the JBJ trade from day one? Stop the pretending you don't know. Think "head scratching." If that's the worst you'll say about a trade, I can see why people get frustrated at how you talk about the FO. What makes you think that was the worst I said about the trade? I criticized the hit on the budget, while Bell and others minimized it by saying the $8M option was not on the tax line. I criticized JBJ's skill level and how basing hopes on what he sis in a short period in 2020 was foolish. We all know JBJ and short sample size wonders. I said this has to be about the prospects and Bloom better know more than others, because neither looked all that promising. If you think I supported the JBJ trade, you are wrong, but like others here will never admit it.
  23. moonslav59
    No, not even close. I'm asking you to name someone who supports Bloom 100%. Is that another statement that doesn't mean what it says? I support Bloom more than many here. It's no secret. Many times it is only after someone makes a bashing claim I feel needs context, but I'm not denying I defend him a lot- just not near 100%. If it's not me, who is the 100% defender? I doubt there is even a 75% defender.
  24. moonslav59
    I don't blame him. There are times that is said and maybe even meant, but things change. The Sox are on the clock.
  25. moonslav59
    He thinks because he did not come out and say "Bloom signed Frail," other words ,can't mean the same thing. Hire = sign when it comes to players. Bloom only hires wounded old guys is what iortiz wrote. Red responds "already has" mean Bloom and meaning "hired" or signed Paxton and Frail. It's very simple to understand the meaning without "diving deep." All Red has to say is that is not what I meant to say, but instead he insists his words don't hold the meaning they do. Then, he flips it back on those who do understand English by saying it is "silliness on a wrong notion." Watching him try to wiggle out of absurd statements is more entertaining than the original absurd statements.
