Their record on August 1 was 57-50 (a pace for 86 wins). They were 2 games out. They needed to add pitching at the deadline, not sell. And certainly not stand still. One genius repeatedly suggested (re: predicted) Paul Blackburn as a target. Blackburn has a 3.24 ERA across 8 starts since the deadline…

And the whole “ asking for too much” is subjective. I mean what if DD tried to dump Scott Kingery for JD…
-
Honestly, Law seems to have it in for most of the AL East teams sometimes. Except the one that used to cut his paychecks…
-
The Sox had played most of those teams on that “brutal schedule” before and had more than handled themselves. That part should not have been the problem. They did need to add to that pitching staff. Relying on pitchers who have already missed time once this year due to injury was a flawed idea from step one…
-
It would be nice for once if that .180-hitting SS would play in a Spring Training game or two and shake the rust off before the season began…
-
You can but they won’t be good starters…
-
Fans throw around fire sale talk if the team is on pace to win 88 games…
-
As long as they don’t go overboard. We don’t want to find out Roman Anthony is an incredible player and then have to deal him away because we dropped a few too many Benjamins for far too long on Aaron Nola and Jack Flaherty…
-
I think that point is overblown. And who are the Sox allegedly trading him to and for what?
-
I look at it this way. In the last 3 years, the Sox were right there at the trade deadline. In two of those years, he Bloom did nothing and the talk fell apart. The one year he made moves and reached the ALCS. The next year he didn’t and the team collapsed. The third year he didn’t learn from the second year. Not sure if that’s why Henry fired him. It is why I would have…

Really? Money is still getting run by the same guy…
-
Think Snell is really going to be on the radar? -
Crawford took major steps forward this year. I’m optimistic. I pencil him in to the rotation. Pivetta? Long man/emergency starter? He’s not a terrible pitcher. But that does seem like a wasteful role from a guy who probably gets $7-8 mill in arbitration…
-
What you meant was “how good would Mookie really be if this league wasn’t so watered down?”
-
Agreed. Two is the limit. Also hopefully the new order believes that Houck and (especially) Whitlock as bullpen arms…
-
I think not wanting a backup 1b who can’t hit out field isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If you want to cite Franchy Cordero as a failed 1b, at least remember Dalbec couldn’t beat him out for the starting role…
-
Don’t like infield defense?
-
Dalbec is DFA material. His only saving Grace right now is there are others (Jacques, Garza, Ort) who should be higher on the DFA Priority List. If Dalbec is still on the 40 man roster come March, the new GM/CBO has clearly ignored something…
-
Well that clinches it. Backup 1b is clearly the most difficult position and an obvious top priority…
-
Don’t blame me. Your argument is with history and reality…
-
None of them were there at the time…

$362million…

Too much hair gel…

Long and large contracts cause more problems when they solve. It’s not about any sort of justification for spending. Sure Henry could spend, but that didn’t mean he should spend. The biggest fallacy I keep hearing is “Sox need to act like a large market,” Which usually means wanton spending. So large market teams are stupid and don’t learn from their mistakes??!? That’s the goal?
-
I think a lot of people forget Refsnyder came up as an infielder. He wasn’t very good at it and might not have played infield for a while, but he could probably handle 1b for an inning or two.
