    True. Easily.
  2. moonslav59
    Yes, I forgot about Duran's control years. He'd get what Helsely got.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

    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.

    Just about every trade made was an "overpay." Brez was afraid to overpay by more.
  7. moonslav59
    Some of these moves barely moved the budget needle. Brez refused to part with better prospects or an established OF- plain & simple.
  8. moonslav59
    This, after having to trade for Garrett Cooper and Dom Smith, last year.
  9. moonslav59
    Bashing Devers is doing JH's dirty work for him.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. moonslav59
    Disappointed is too mild a word.
  14. moonslav59
    For 5-6 other AL teams, yes.
  15. moonslav59
    James Paxton, Danny Jansen, Luis Garcia and Lucas Simms had better outlooks on AUG 1, 2024 than these two guys.
  16. moonslav59
    I believe you, Fred.
  17. moonslav59
    Maybe a little better but a lot worse on D and baserunning.
  18. moonslav59
    The Yanks, Tigers and Rangers all got significantly better, while we did not. SEA & HOU got way better, on paper. That's 5 teams. TOR stayed about the same as the Sox and are ahead of us 5 games. We gained on nobody but CLE & MIN who sold. There is no was to sugarcoat this Bloom-like deadline.
  19. moonslav59
    So, the 26 might be... Crochet, Giolito, Bello, Buehler, May Chapman, Whitlock, Wilson, Matz, Weissert, Hicks, Bernardino, Alcala or Murphy Narvaez & Wong Toro & Romy Mayer (if healthy) & Romy (DHam) Story Bregman Duran Rafaela Abreu & Anthony Anthony & Yoshida/Refsnyder The rest of the 40: Murphy, Harrison, Fitts, Criswell, Kelly, I Campbell (IL: Houck & Guerrero) K Campbell, (DHam) Grissom, Eaton, Sogard (IL: Mayer)
  20. moonslav59
    Sick of the whole "had interest in _____" reports.
  21. moonslav59
    For now.
  22. moonslav59
    Wait till winter, once again. I ask again, "How Soon Is Now?"
  23. moonslav59
    We still have a shot for the last WC berth, but no way can we say we have top 4-5 AL team on paper. Had we gotten Ryan and maybe Bednar or O'Hearn, we could have argued we were top 3.
  24. moonslav59
    I still think we "coulda-shoulda," but this is sickening.
  25. moonslav59
    Fred was 100% right. Sell, sell, SELL!
