Farrell managed 3 AL East pennant winning teams - most in franchise history. He was dismissed after winning back to back AL East titles but losing in the ALCS to a team coached by his eventual garbage-drum banging replacement…

The Sox only traded one year of Betts. This year is moot when evaluating that trade. If Mookie had decided to hit the open market and signed a 10 year $400mill contract with her Mets, would you still feel the same about that trade?

The problem isn’t necessarily avoiding guys like Nola and Snell. It does seem like most of those major contracts don’t push teams over the top anyway. The problem was the inactivity. The Sox would have been better with simply adding Kyle Gibson, but they d do isn’t even go that far. Kluber was an understandable chance. But he flopped and was essentially discarded. And then? Plan B seemed to be to simply let the calendar run out. Even with Mluber not contributing, Wacha and Eovaldi succeeding elsewhere, Eflin spurning the Sox for a division rival - even with all that, they were still in contention on August 1. And for the second year in a row, they let contending die that day…

The Scherzer contracts with Washington was labeled a massive overpay at the time. I doubt anyone in the Boston organization viewed not typing the Washington or as a mistake. And if they did and that is why they went crazy for Price, they learned the wrong lesson…

I think you rely far too much on that psychic cat…

Watch some other teams (Cubs, mainly) and you will learn to appreciate Cora rather quickly…
-
I honestly don’t see the point in having him on the team NOW, never mind when they’re sneaking Rule 5 names on to the list…
-
Dalbec is very likely to be designated for assignment this off-season and likely granted his release. And that’s ok. Not every player who reaches AAA in the farm system but can’t land a job in Boston is going to get traded away…
-
Very true. Bloom completely tanked it two years in a row. Odd fact however. This month the Sox offense has been putting out hits at the same rate as the Starland Vocal Band, yet somehow this team is still in the top ten in MLB in runs scored…

Fairfield…

Dalbec isn’t blocked. He isn’t worthy…

Larry was One Of Us!! Too far?

Any truth to the rumors about Rock Em Sock Em Robots being added to the next summer Olympics?
-
I take it they simply do not understand how many threads we would need to start to open the discussion about firing all those people. And you know what? They probably don’t even care…
-
As long as it’s a promotion, they can technically conduct the interview process. Wasn’t Cora still banging the drum as the bench coach in the ALCS against the Yankees when the Sox announced he would manage the team in 2018?
-
Names have been bandied about in the media, but have the Sox actually started the search process? Like scheduled/conducted interviews? The Mets went ahead and hired their new guy a couple weeks ago. Wondering if the Sox plan on being similarly (and smartly) as aggressive…

Just because someone didn’t learn does not mean they were never taught…

You were so much younger back then where you actually blamed Grady Little

In case you didn’t notice, mvp wasn’t the one complaining about you…

Depends on how instinctive they are…

One would hope Casas can. He’s also sometimes a poor decision maker…
-
Unless you have one of the top 3 or in some years 5 picks, the rest of the first round didn’t change much. Since this is MLB and not the NFL or the NBA, no one drafts for positions. And the talent gap between the 5th best high school/college player and the 30th best isn’t nearly as wide as you think. Not to mention it’s certainly not always predictive of an MLB future. So worrying about other teams affecting the Sox draft is pretty worthless stuff…
-
That’s fine, but you’re also treating the entire 5 years like it’s just going to be the Goat year over and over. You’ve seen multiple times in the past that isn’t always the case…
-
Duvall isn’t a DH. He’s a Gold Glove winning outfielder. If the Sox move Verdugo, they need (100% need) to bring Duvall back. If they do bring back Verdugo, they could still use Duvall but it gets less dire…
-
I’ve seen a mess of Cubs’ games this year, but especially after watching David Ross these last two nights, Cora can come back to Boston next year…
