  1. Just about every trade made was an "overpay." Brez was afraid to overpay by more.
  2. Some of these moves barely moved the budget needle. Brez refused to part with better prospects or an established OF- plain & simple.
  3. This, after having to trade for Garrett Cooper and Dom Smith, last year.
  4. Bashing Devers is doing JH's dirty work for him.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Disappointed is too mild a word.
  9. For 5-6 other AL teams, yes.
  10. James Paxton, Danny Jansen, Luis Garcia and Lucas Simms had better outlooks on AUG 1, 2024 than these two guys.
  11. Maybe a little better but a lot worse on D and baserunning.
  12. 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.
  13. 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)
  14. Sick of the whole "had interest in _____" reports.
  15. Wait till winter, once again. I ask again, "How Soon Is Now?"
  16. 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.
  17. I still think we "coulda-shoulda," but this is sickening.
  18. To me, that deal was a salary dump. The return was not the object. Plus, I feel Harrison was the best hope. Tibbs was maybe tied with Hicks as the second best hope. Joes Bello may be the winner.
  19. Not even close" on Joe Ryan, and apparently he was the last shot attempt (not "fallback.")
  20. Brez just took a big hit in my scorecard book.
  21. Dustin May and Steven Matz. This is worse than a joke. Fred was right: we shoulda sold everything not tied down for 2026.
  22. If we don't get Ryan or Mitch Keller, we'll be wondering how we couldn't outdo Kohl Drake and David Hagaman for Merrill Kelly. The Mason and Sears trade might have been matched. Hell, Zack Littell would have been better than nothing.
