They need me. My plan is simple. Extend Verdugo. Trade for Juan Soto. (Yorke plus Yoshida is a massive overpay on BTV). Then tackle pitching. 1SP free agent (Gray?). 1RP free agent ( No names yet). Explore small market teams for arb-eligible pitchers via trade. And Matt Chapman. Almost forgot. Unless negotiations get all Nimmo-y…

You can’t argue Mookie was a generational talent and a Hall of Famer and then also argue leaving him unextended for 5 years was acceptable. You’re doing just that…
-
Why couldn’t he get anything more out of a better team in 2019?
-
At the very least I don’t think either of us will care if he isn’t fired.
-
A crashing halt? Like he was just 28 years old? Pearce was 36 years old and kind of mediocre, to be kind. He played for 13 MLB seasons and only once topped 100 games played, which is a ridiculous accomplishment for a non-pitcher - to last that long while not being good enough to start…
-
Yeah this board in the Wild West. Not for the lack of rules but rather the prevalence of horse s***. (J/K)
-
It’s also possible the players like it. Not everything is driven by data and metrics. Obviously they all like playing baseball and want to play every day. But 162 games a year is a lot and maybe there are players who appreciate an occasional day off…

He absolutely did build an 84 win team. His 4 years, the team won 93, 93, 108 and 84 games. Which of those numbers strikes you as the outlier? Two of his titles came with 93 win teams and came during a 3 year stretch in which no AL East team won 94 games. In 2018, the Sox went off and won 108 games. But Tampa and NY surged, too, and both continued that success in 2019 while the Sox found them selves plummeting out of competition, middling the postseason by an dozen games, and leading the East in payroll alone. And they didn’t have anyone in the farm system to provide immediate help while a completely f***ed up payroll bogged them down. This is why it’s odd Dombrowski didn’t know why he was fired. He did basically the same thing in Detroit. But, hey, 2018! Right?
-
I’m sure he was hired to win. But he wasn’t hired to build an 84 win team for$240 mill and tie up $300mill with off-injured pitchers while team budding stars like a Betts remained unsigned. Heck even the contract he gave Bogaerts was pretty stupid. If he was just hired for that brief summary you stated, why not oversimplify Bloom’s tenure? He was hired to rebuild the farm and build the MLB team on a budget. Done and done…
-
Basically he kept quitting midseason. The Sox were less than 4 games out of the post season at the last two trading deadlines, and in both cases really needed any healthy pitchers they could get. And instead would up with Eric Hosmer - a player no one wanted even for free - and Luis Urias. At least Urias might be useful next year. But the obvious issue is neither can pitch. Really not sure what baseball abilities Hosmer still had that point…
-
Classy or not, 2019 was a big mess that was not going to clean irself up for a long time. Even if you don’t like the 2023 team, it could be tutt try Ned around relatively quickly since there aren’t nearly as many albatross contracts…
-
Continued to get base at a respectable .348 clip…
-
Cora is nothing great, but the Sox could do much worse. We did suffer through a full year of Bobby Valentine…

Devers signs 11 year $331 million extension
notin replied to Jasonbay44's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Baseball shape? Which one? LaMarr Hoyt, Greg Luzinski? Or Prince Fielder? -
If that’s true, it doesn’t say much for DD…
-
They have 6 games against Texas (10-17 in the last 27) and the White Sox (56-91)…
-
So you think the draft pick would have been better?
-
Agreed…
-
So now… https://sports.yahoo.com/report-nl-exec-believes-shohei-185715574.html
-
But that doesn’t mean Bogaerts would have. Especially since Boston was only 3 games out at the time…
-
Good thing. They’re all over 60 and none of them play baseball…
-
Not true. We’ve got a BS post going around this morning that Bloom held off on unloading Sale plus his full contract. If nothing else, it’s a clear attempt to blame Bloom for Sale still being here…
-
They had a $240 mill 84 win team with $300mill ties up in 3 oft-injured pitchers for 11 seasons. With 10 of those seasons in the books, only once did the pitcher to 110 IP. I can see a the logic behind a rebuild…
-
That shows how bad Kike was.
-
It’s been made. It’s over. I want to say “the defense rests,” but my case was more about defending the other 29 MLB front offices out there. Nothing to do with Bloom…
