    We certainly have winter trade options, but we just wasted a season of Crochet, Bregman and others.
  2. moonslav59
    They also got Doval- a NL saves leader in 2023.
  3. moonslav59
    Some did much more. The Yanks got the NL saves leader to fill their biggest hole. They added secondary pieces better than our two adds. SEA got way better. TEX got way better. DET & HOU got significantly better. That's 5 teams for 6 slots. TOR is 5 ahead of us. That's team #6. We just went from a top 6 team to the #7 team out of 15 in the AL.

    No. Option A: trade K Campbell, Jh Garcia, Romero, Sandlin, Early and Mullins for 2 controllable pitchers or a better pitcher and a 1Bman. That's not trading the entire farm. It's 1 top 10 prospect. Option B: Don't trade the "entire team," just trade all free agents to be: Chapman, Bregman, Wilson, Buehler & Refsnyder. (We could re-sign Bregman, this winter.)

    We "overpaid" for Crochet, and that was fine. We don't know what MIN wanted for Ryan or Pit for Keller, but it was likely more than what they will want in December.
  6. moonslav59
    Yes. I have to. He's been right more than I am, and I ain't admitting I'm a dummy.
  7. moonslav59
    So, you are optimistic an the worst major sports team in New England, but are this down on the Sox? Very puzzling. The Pats suck and will suck in 2025, despite the easy schedule.
  8. moonslav59
    Fred seems overly negative, especially in game threads, but he seems well informed and honest. We have been flops and bums for over 5 years. Being realistic does not mean he takes pleasure in us being floppy bums. I think he'd be happy to be wrong.
  9. moonslav59
    True. Easily.
  10. moonslav59
    Yes, I forgot about Duran's control years. He'd get what Helsely got.
  11. moonslav59
    Following the minors might be more fun than the big club, now. Woo rained out. POR won 2-1. Romero had 2 hits. Bolden pitched well. The Sea Dogs are 48-48. GRE is losing 3-2, early. YRod with 2 hits.
  12. moonslav59
    Bregman might have gotten what E Suarez got, despite the money, or we could have paid some of it. Gio could have gotten a lot. Chapman could have gotten what Duran and helsley got and then some. Wilson, Buehler, Refsnyder could have gotten something with hope. We could have been very well set up for 2026 had the Sox listened to you.
  13. moonslav59
    We are now relying on Toro to catch a second wind or K Campbell to do better at 1B than he did at 2B. We are relying on Buehler to come back to even a shadow of what he used to be AND stay healthy. We are now relying on Harrison or Dustin May to not suck as our 5th starter. We cannot have any regression from Crochet, Gio, Bello, Chapman and most of our pen. We need Bregman to stay over .900. We need Rafaela to stay near .750 and others to hold their 2026 numbers. We need Story to keep hitting like he has since early June. We need about 15-20 things to go right or keep going right to be "good enough." Other teams have hopes in newly acquired players and just keeping status quo with the ones they still have. I'd say we are barely good enough to nab the last WC slot, but we need to stay ahead of the improved M's and Rangers. We might be able to pass the Yanks or maybe TOR, but not HOU or DET.
  14. moonslav59
    Just about every trade made was an "overpay." Brez was afraid to overpay by more.
  15. moonslav59
    Some of these moves barely moved the budget needle. Brez refused to part with better prospects or an established OF- plain & simple.
  16. moonslav59
    This, after having to trade for Garrett Cooper and Dom Smith, last year.
  17. moonslav59
    Bashing Devers is doing JH's dirty work for him.
  18. moonslav59
    Beyond a solid SP and a platoon 1B bat, what are all these holes? Two trades would have put us in the top 3 ballpark.
  19. moonslav59
    Maybe, after the anger subsides, I'll feel some optimism, but this is a big gut punch by Sox management. Once again, their words rang hollow.
  20. moonslav59
    I had visions of starting the Part III thread, tonight. There will be no part 3, this year. Now, I want to start the "Realistic View of the 2026 Red Sox Part I" thread.
  21. moonslav59
    Disappointed is too mild a word.
  22. moonslav59
    For 5-6 other AL teams, yes.
  23. moonslav59
    James Paxton, Danny Jansen, Luis Garcia and Lucas Simms had better outlooks on AUG 1, 2024 than these two guys.
  24. moonslav59
    I believe you, Fred.
  25. moonslav59
    Maybe a little better but a lot worse on D and baserunning.
