He’s on the phone with Seiya Suzuki. It’s just going slowly because Bloom doesn’t speak Japanese and Suzuki doesn’t speak English and Henry didn’t hire an interpreter. So the entire negotiation has to be done in Swahili, since neither of them speak it at all and therefore it levels the playing field…
-
Still dealing with a bout of Lockoutitis?
-
Sure the Sox could use these guys, but which one is irreplaceable?
-
And with a reputation and track record for cheating!
-
I called Bloom and he said no. But not emphatically. At least that’s what I assumed he meant with all that of his “how did you get this number?” whining. Geez…
-
The Sox didn’t dump at the deadline in 2019. They added Andrew Cashner…
-
I’m going to start an online petition to reinstate the shift…
-
I don’t think the Canadian authorities give a rat’s ass about whether or not the Jays get a competitive advantage…
-
Well you can bet in every interview he has from now on, at some point he will say “I’m the guy who recommended Garret Whitlock to Boston” Even if it’s not a relevant answer. “Can I get you some water, Bob?” “I’m the guy who recommended Garret Whitlock to Boston..”

Last year Bradley had his lowest career BABIP despite posting his second highest LD% in his career. That’s not easy to do. Statistically speaking, I can see the bounce back potential…
-
No one has seen Bradley swing a bat lately. There was a lockout…
-
JBJ will start in either CF or RF and bat ninth. At a minimum against RHP. It’s that simple…
-
And hiring/keeping the right people. Ultimately these moves are always the GMs call. It’s like when some didn’t think Theo should get any credit for signing Ortiz, because Manny(?) recommended. Like scouts, players (and forum posters!) also pass on tons of advice on potential moves. But it’s the GM who decides to actually make the move and it’s the GM who gets the blame if it doesn’t work out. Not the scouts. And certainly not the players. Forum posters ironically sometimes do, but only within the confines of their forum…
-
If the Sox do sign Suzuki (which is far from a guarantee), it does very likely move Kike to 2b, at least vs RHP. If you have any faith at all in Bloom knowing what he’s doing, then it should be abundantly clear that he didn’t trade a starting outfielder who hit in the heart of the order for a bench player and two middling prospects all while taking on money. Bradley will be a starter…
-
Reportedly the Sox acquired Bradley to strengthen defense. He won’t do that on the bench…
-
It would make sense, as Le Mahieu can take 1b and Torres can play 2b. The team need for a LHH is massively overblown. But they seem high on Volpe. He’ll have to succeed in AA this year to justify it…
-
Oh the Sox have definitely been rebuilding, just not at the MLB level…
-
I’d say the Bradley in CF/Hernandez at 2b is a better defensive alignment than Hernandez in CF/Arroyo at 2b option…
-
Carlos Rodon to SF for 2 years $44million, or roughly $1mill per every IP they can expect from him…
-
Even without spending much the last two off-seasons, the Sox still had one of the highest payrolls in MLB…
-
Oh we could go on and on about changes in the game. The league’s brief infatuation with the shift and its statistical impact will just be another forgotten footnote one day…
-
Despite some complaints on this board, in reality Henry isn’t known among MLB owners for his cheapness…
-
Is Ty Cobb considered the all time hits leader before artificial turf? With all the spectacles surrounding the chase for Babe Ruth’s home run record in 1961, did anyone mention Ruth did it without the benefit of foul poles? Yes. Ignored…
-
Story isn’t looking at a Lindor contract, but Brandon Crawford got a 6 year $75mill contract at about the same age. What kind of stopgap deal would Story take? (Reportedly he wants 6 years $150mill.) Doable? I do like his defense, but I think I’d move on Paul DeJong from St. Louis, who have reportedly soured on him, before I gave Story that kind of deal…
-
I would. Volpe has only played A ball. No one should ever even think about a prospect until they reach AA…
