He had COVID 19!!! He hasn’t fully recovered yet! There was a story a week ago about how he finds himself still getting weak and exhausted quickly. Might as well call Sale a jabroni because he hasn’t thrown a pitch this year...
-
He’d still be better than 4/5 of the Sox current rotation...
-
As opposed to the “His stats were unexviting for the first 35 innings so clearly he was nothing” argument?
-
A .915 OPS at age 24 is not exceptional?
-
Also to provide minimum wage value so you can retain superstar players. Betts did extend with the team that’s paying guys like Lux, May, Smith, Gonsolin, and Bellinger dirt cheap wages all around...
-
Moncada’s not exceptional?
-
Right. Because if they don’t have. Cy Young Award by the time they’re 23, their obviously Career Minor League Material...
-
Well, Urshela has crushed the ball this year against the Red Sox and their Long Island Ducks pitching staff. Against the rest of MLB? Not so much Urshela vs. Red Sox - 1.266 OPS Urshela vs rest of MLB - .761 OPS
-
There is a difference between getting smeared on the way out the door and actually having a bad reputation. Francona, for example, clearly still had a stellar one. He had a job offer before that same door slammed shut. Duquette, on the other hand, was unemployed for several years before Baltimore gave him another chance...
-
I feel that way about 6 and 7 year contracts, just that it happens with lesser players...
-
I think it’s a personnel issue. The Yankees have some talented hitters, but they have also filled their lineup with players jettisoned from other teams who miraculously “figured out” how to hit in the Bronx. Guys like Urshela, Grigorius, Tauchman, Hicks, and Voit. Maybe Cashman finds the occasional diamond in the rough, but his track record recently has leap-frogged over “ridiculous” and straight into “suspicious”...
-
To be fair, I am not sure anyone in the front office ever had that plan...
-
It was a $220mill .500 team with no farm system...
-
Dombrowski, Duquette and who?
-
Is that how Epstein left Boston?
-
I think we can, but not because of Dombrowski. Had DD not been fired and was still running this team, what do you suppose it would look like?
-
Like how Detroit had just the one bad year?
-
I wasn’t sure they’d offer. When you look at the deals they keep giving to Kershaw, it’s not like that team has a history of giving mega extensions to players...
-
Per MLBTR, there were discussions with Texas about an Eovaldi/Oder bad contract swap...
-
15 years but all with Tampa. Where budget proposals go to die. He did keep that seemingly irrelevant team competitive. I think Dombrowski is overrated. Any bozo can win when handed a top notch farm system and a $220 million dollar budget. Doing it without destroying the future is the trick (and really, not even a tough trick)...
-
This Horror Show is the third most expensive team in MLB. Bloom didn’t spend that money....
-
Why not a competitor? Never underestimate the impact of money. There are many MLB talking heads who think a lot of teams will dial back spending next year, and not just on free agents. Normal no-brainer team options might be declined. Players you didn’t expect to see it happen to get non-tendered. (None of these possibilities are my interpretation; all were mentioned accompanied by names). This season has had a poor financial impact on A LOT of teams and there might be repercussions. One team no one thinks will is the Red Sox. The Sox do need a big influx in talent. But this might be the year to find one...
-
New lock on the video room door?
-
Honestly, if things work out, they could be good next year. Not with this roster, however...
-
He is arb eligible. I do not care if he comes back, unless it's as a starter...
