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...
-
If a player's contract goes to arbitration, the team has to somehow concoct an argument that said player is NOT worth the money he is asking for. Using another player as a comp is not uncommon. There is really no way to do ti without creating an argument that the player is going to like and agree with. This type of argument the Sox created is inherent in the process, but the Boston press makes it sound like they were the first team ever to do such a thing. Like every other player to come to arbitration was met with "We say you're only worth $X", and then replied with "OK, you got me."
-
If its one, its too many...
-
Yeah. That’s high on the list...
-
Eovaldi lacks durability in a big way, but Perez made 109 starts in last 4 years before coming to Boston.
-
No on Ockimey. You can probably get a LHH platoon (Murphy? Shaw?) cheap enough...
-
K:BB was the main talking point of poster JoeBreidey/JoeBrady and is a great evaluation tactic for hitters and pitchers. But in the minors, age and levels matter, too. But the bottom line is you don’t immediately write off a 25yo who failed to dazzle in 20 ABs just so you can fast track a 19yo in A Ball...
-
1) That approach is pretty standard. 2) The Sox did offer him $20 million and $25 million in the last two seasons. That’s gotta take some sting out of that hearing...
-
While Mookie never did, he certainly heard lots of other African American ballplayers say them...
-
Casas has all of 500 plate appearances in the minors over his career. So far all he’s done is face A ball pitchers. Dalbec is much, much, much more likely to make this team and contribute. These are not even wildly differently ranked prospects. Prior to the 2020 season, BA had Casas at 70 and Dalbec at 75...

Game Thread - 09/05 - Jays at Sox

The game threads are dying... -
Well, if the Sox and Mookie split the difference, we do know at $365 million, money was no longer an obstacle...
