The timing is immaterial. Right after he was hired, doubtful he had any sort of executable plan...
-
I would have liked that, and I have always maintained (correct or not) that it was more possible without some of the other spending...
-
It is certainly still possible. I have Bradley's options down to 4 teams, maybe 5 if the White Sox will move Luis Robert to LF. And Boston is certainly one of them...
-
Agreed, but I can see it not being the plan. Although Bradley is running out of options and might very well be the Sox CF, at least for one more year...
-
I would agree normally. And I’d have understood him saying “we don’t know yet.” But RSN does have a lot of fans who think Henry can and should just spend more no matter what. One of the most generous owners in MLB and some think he shouldn’t have a limit. I mean, even yesterday Elktonnick kept talking about how Henry was dedicated to some super power Euro football league. So? It’s his money. And the Sox still have a large payroll and are not in danger of becoming the Pirates or Rays just yet..,
-
Mookie wanted to test the market. Bloom said he wanted to keep Mookie. Not necessarily an easy task. I think trading Mookie came about when Bloom realized he had to cut payroll and no one wanted Price or Eovaldi...
-
I never said Mookie didn’t want to come back to Boston. But he reportedly did want to test the market, which is not the same thing. And as he wanted to test the market, that strongly weakened Boston’s position. Of course, it did not necessitate a trade. Unless no other way was found to get under the tax limit. Not like Price or Eovaldi were in demand any more...
-
He can take the next eight elsewhere...
-
JBJ is watching all the chairs fill up and the music is stopping. His best potential seats now are probably with the Cubs, Astros, Phillies and Red Sox, with the names being selected via painstaking research as to what are the first 4 teams I could think of that might need a CF...
-
No idea when you had the season ticket holder call was, but there were plenty of rumblings about Betts’ desire to test free agency going back into the 2019 season. Now, there was also buzz that he had a price. Reportedly an outrageous one...
-
Pillar to the Mets...
-
The power outage took down your toilet?!!?!?!? Wow, even vacuums don't work in Maine when the power goes out!! I hope the gravity still operated
-
Can't the same be said for Benintendi? Trading Mookie was one thing, but let's not go overboard here...
-
Marcus Walden probably needs some mention, too..
-
One potential problem was, I am not sure Mookie shared this priority...
-
Yes it is a Star Wars thing. And I doubt you have to worry, as the Sox are liekly deeper into bargains that Gardner. But I'd love to see him come to Boston and beat up on Yankee pitching for a year...
-
I'll be happy if they go 19-143, as long as all 19 wins come against the Yankees...
-
Any reason? Personal theory - with all the scouting data being over a year old and potentially outdated, the Sox front office wants to get as much current data as possible. If I'm right, this means taking as much of the 6 months as they can...
-
Counting Sawamura? MLBTR has the deal as close...
-
Frazier could also be a LHH OF platoon. He’s a good player, but I would be surprised if the Sox acquired him. Maybe because it’s Feb 15th and I’m used to the off-season being basically over by now...
-
So has Springs. Looks like two potential DFAs with Sawamura potentially joining shortly. Candidates include Springs, Wilson and who? Brewer? Is Brice a legitimate option?
-
I have some hopes...
-
The Sox do have two OF’s capable of CF. They still could bring in Pillar, or they could bring in a LHH OF to platoon in a corner with Renfroe. I like Gardner, but I would be extremely surprised if they sign him. Reddick is probably more likely than Gardner but less likely than Pillar. Like to see Workman come back. And Brice depart...
-
On deck, Marcus Wilson?
-
I don’t think every pitcher prefers a defined role. Fans universally do. But some pitchers do, some don’t care. As humans, there are very few broad brushstrokes that apply universally. That said, many?/most?/all? probably do prefer to be named closer, as that translates financially...
