A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II
notin replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
And Casas would be much harder to trade while getting anything back… -
It’s not as simple as telling Devers “hey, your defense at third base is killing us, so we’re moving you.” I’m not entirely sure thats any better. And what happens if you tell Devers that, and then you still cannot get an upgrade? The Cardinals want you to take all of Arenado’s money and want Roman Anthony? Bregman prefers the Detroit offer? Do you then go back to Devers and say “about your defense and that new 3b, April Fools!” (I do not think the Cardinals were that unreasonable. Just making a point that the deal could fall apart.) And I seem to recall Bloom’s initial extension offer to Devers paralleling a contract that was signed about that time by Matt Olson, and the explanation was they envision Devers’ future at 1b. If that’s true, it has come up before. And it’s probably why Devers was asking about his future at 3b to begin with…
-
That goes for any team. They averaged 4.84 RPG with Devers. They’re not going to average 3 runs per game without him. Not for long stretches at least…
-
Just pointing out a fact. And a reminder that these streaks are built on pitching. While I have been appalled by Devers’ attitude, I never wanted him traded…
-
I meant you bulked up the number of pieces eaters. I considered Sam less culpable than you did…
-
Trade for Rhys Hoskins (David Hamilton?) and sign Polar Bear Pete after the season…
-
But most of that was with Devers…
-
I’m ok with replacing Priester with Harrison
-
I edited it to explain. In didnt count on you responding so fast. I wondered how Sam is 10% at fault here…
-
Ive said that multiple times. If so, f*** him! What a selfish a-hole…
-
You had 5 pie eaters! 20% is a normal share! But you even bulked those pastry aficionados. Beyond just assuming hes just guilty of everything, how is Sam 10% at fault here? Or is that his Default Blame Percentage, or DBP as the kids say?
-
Maybe with the Legend of Nomar. The whole “sulking in the dugout” thing has been refuted by multiple sources. And Nomar had no issues playing new positions. Did you know after leaving Boston, he only played SS in a total of 57 more games?
-
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?
