It’s a lot of pumpkin pie. But if you’re talking pecan pie, it’s not nearly enough… -
So his job is to put the wants of his whiny diva player ahead of the needs of a team that just lost a starter for the season?
-
I go 33% equal fault on Devers, Cora and Breslow, and that last 1% is on Old Red…
-
1. When Devers brought up that he was promised 3b, Cora didnt address the problem and instead just blamed the guy no longer with the organization. 2. Cora never asked Devers to play 1b. Why exactly did he NOT do this? Afraid of another confrontation? Why is his (lack of) position here defensible in your eyes?
-
Why so low on Devers? He was resistant to position changes TWICE, with once being to help out with an injury, and (through his interpreter) was snotty as Hell about it. Also more blame to Cora for deciding “managing” was not consistent with his current position title of manager…
-
The “no” upfront made it look like you were arguing with yourself. Like you read your own post and thought “Wait! What? What moron thinks THAT?”
-
Exactly. Replacing Devers with Yoshida would be like if the Padres tried to replace Tatis with Arraez…
-
Save those 11s for next year when Pete Alonso is wearing it!
-
Did you just argue with yourself?
-
Clearly Toro has been with 5 teams in the last 5 years because he’s just too talented to be contained…
-
Breslow’s legally mandated statement…
-
Hoskins was my first thought once they didn’t get back a 1b in the trade. I can’t complain about the job ToRoGo have done, but history has shown it’s not going to last…
-
Out of curiosity, what did the Sox spend the $300mill earmarked for Betts on?

Thats why Alfonso Soriano was the most useful teammate - fluent in English, Spanish and Japanese…
-
I haven’t been the biggest Cora supporter either. In fact, I think Breslow should have fired Cora and kept Devers. I don’t like Devers’ attitude. But I do like his bat…
-
On the bright side, no more wondering how to get Roman Anthony’s bat into the lineup…

Why? He got his ring in one of the biggest scandals in the history of the sport and then got all whiny when fans held it against him. Granted, seven years ago. But Bregman can limit himself to playing and not leading…
-
I don’t know what the clubhouse was like before or will be like tomorrow, but I certainly can see a downside on this trade as it put a massive Stop sign in front of their recent surge…

Also pretending either entity is supported by Henry’s personal bank account

Also Wilson, who has surprisingly become an actual trade candidate as opposed to (my prediction of) DFA fodder…

I don’t mind if players who don’t speak English or who are not comfortable with their English do not talk to the English-speaking media..

Does it paint a picture of a financially sound franchise? Or one that needs to sell baseball players to pay for soccer players? If the latter is true, the Sox sure got lucky that their most expensive player was the one who was not happy, right? You can only get a certain level of soccer star with the money saved by DFAing Robert Stock…
-
We all like the soccer team conspiracy theories because they 1. allow Sox fans to position themselves victims to greedy ownership and 2. parallel history with the Sox franchise and Harry Frazee. But the Boston Red Sox are worth some $4billion (right? Little help?) and likely not being treated as a financial repository for purchasing European soccer players. I’m sure FSG can support both franchises. I mean, I assume that soccer team makes money, too, right?
-
There are two reports — Cotillo says he didnt and Julian McWilliams of CBS says he did. If you choose one over the other, why? Both are credible sources. And both may even be correct, depending on the context. But one thing that bothers me (besides this overall trade in general) is the timing. If the Sox just want to dump his contract, why not wait 6 more weeks and get a better package? Get the Dodgers involved and pit them against the Giants. Get the Mets involved on this. Why do it NOW? Just calling them incompetent and impatient is just trying to support alternate theories with theoretical evidence (and circular logic). I agree that Devers was selfish, but this was a situation that could and should have been managed from the start. That it came down to this and did so at this time tells me all parties wanted it done ASAP. And that does include Devers…
-
Exactly. If Devers were to ask to be traded, the ideal time would have been that meeting with Henry, right? Why meet with him otherwise? To tattle on Breslow?
