That's less than Chris Martin got.

I'm looking at some metrics, other than UZR/150 that show Swanson is better than Bogey. I admit, I'm going totally by taking all the metrics, together and I feel it shows Swanson is clearly better than Bogey on D, despite the weaker arm. If I'm wrong, then it's Andrus, because I doubt Correa is even on the table. (He would be on my table.) He's more than a year younger, so that's another reason. If Bogey signs for 8 years and Swanson 6, and both move off SS at lets say age 33, Bogey plays SS 2 or 3 of 8 years and Swanson plays SS 3 or 4 years out of 6. That's a major percentage differential.

I would be, too. I don't think we need 7 more players. I'd prefer we spend more on 3-4 or maybe 5 more. For three years, we've had to focus on quantity over quality due to the amount of weak slots on the 40, tight winter spending budgets until Story and a directive to build the farm that often lessened the MLB return on some trades. I thought the Story signing was a sign the tide was turning. I'm fine with the Kike and Martin moderate signings, but I fully expected a splash or two. I guess we could call the Contreras addition as a "splash," but it might not even happen, and I have catcher at slot 6 or 7 on my high need list for the winter. Nate & Senga are not really "splash signings." Conforto, Jansen and Fulmer would be upgrades over what we had, last year, but I don't think our improvement on paper would match the expense paid.

Maybe the only geam telling him he's their SS for life.
-
1. Longer than Bogey 2. Less money and years than Bogey. 3. We gain a pick by losing Bogey and lose one for signing Swanson. Not as bad as it looks.
-
Good one! Bloom needs a miracle from Hamilton or Binelas to be grafted back to the vine. Serious long shots. Horrific trade on so many levels, and that's not hindsight, on my behalf.
-
Agreed. With Verdugo's stagnation, the Betts trade looks worse than before. Getting just a comp pick may be the worst move (non move) of all. There is still some hope for Wink, de la Rosa and maybe Hamilton/Binelas, but the rest look like duds.
-
I meant to leave Bassitt off the list. How is this? Contreras (not my top choice, but the Sox are looking at upgrading catcher) Senga Nate Conforto (1 yr) Andrus (2 yrs) Jansen Fulmer Hill (1/2 yr) Angry or just somewhat disappointed?
-
So, angry?
-
He never seems to realize you need to step it up during a window time period. Now, you may lose Judge, and the window is not so open. I don't think he should have pulled a DD, but he could have made one or two more deals to improve your chances. We've heard you bitch ab out him, a lot. This last post almost sounds flattering. You like the extension or not?
-
That or it improved the return from meh to double meh.
-
Oh! The good ole days!
-
I seriously doubt we are even a finalist on Judge.
-
Andrus Bassitt Nate Contreras Conforto Jansen (Martin & Kike already added) We are all angry?
-
I think it is more likely we get Andrus than a top 3 remaining SS. We won't get Judge, but we might sign 3-5 players in the $12-22M/yr range on top of Andrus. I probably won't be "angry," but We'll hear about how the majority of Sox Nation is irate with Bloom, over and over. Even if Bloom does not impress me, this winter, the results will be what he is judged by after finally getting a big enough budget to cover most of the high needs.
-
Jays have made an offer to Heaney. I wonder, if he'll take it to BOS for a match. (LOL)
-
Newsflash!
-
I'm all for overpaying someone. I just think Bogey's overpay will be too much, and He should not be a SS for too much longer. Sign 2-3 from Senga, Swanson, Nimmo, Contreras or Nate (Jansen, Bassitt, Taillon?) Not that we can't afford Bogey and 1-2 of these guys, as well.
-
Maybe Bloom should have traded Casas, Mayer, Bleis and Bello, so we wouldn't finish in last and therefore be "acceptable."
-
200/9 is less of an AAV than our offer of $90M/4, but I'm not sure I'd go 9 years, when I think he'll be off SS in 2-3 years or whenever Mayer is ready.
-
Bloom has built up a better farm, although it's close and started with a bottom 5 farm. He has worked with a tighter budget, but lost points with me for not staying under, this year. I think Bloom was the GM the team needed and wanted. I think he's done a pretty good job in what I think were the higher priorities handed him. Cashman has made many bad moves in the past 3 years. I haven't counted to see if it's more than Bloom.
-
I believed #2 since they offered the one year add-on to his current contract. I don't think they viewed that as "low ball," which shows how much they think he was worth back then. With inflation, maybe they've upped it a bit, but I doubt by much and I am extremely convinced they will not come close to the top offer he gets.
-
In the rainwater barrel?
-
or after 2021.
-
Agreed, and once they did not extend Bogey, they started figuring he was gone and planned/acted accordingly.
