A lot of those suspects are still in MLB. The point isn’t that they didn’t become stars. The point is they became minimum wage MLB players who, in Boston, could have helped the team stay competitive while also allowing them to retain their actual star players…
-
That’s more reasonable. I don’t mind missing on Walker. There were a few pitchers I’d have preferred, but not going multi year on Walker was fine with me…
-
I’ve never called him a clueless guy when it comes to baseball. I just think he relies far too much on his checkbook and leaves huge contractual messes in his wake. Even Detroit just saw the end of the contract extension Dombrowski signed Miguel Cabrera to in 2014…
-
He did trade Drew Smyly, Jair Jurrjens, Willy Adames, Eugenio Suarez, Robbie Ray…

Am I on a Tigers board?
-
Maybe, but I have to think Friedman didn’t have too many more pressing issues, especially once games started getting canceled
-
And my daughter’s first name is Galehouse! Weird!
-
It does make a lot of pieces fit. And I’m clearly not just blaming Dombrowski for it…
-
Walker was always an injury risk. He just signed a 4 year $72mill deal that you said was already worth it. Granted for 2023, but the contract is also for 2024 through 2026. While it certainly is theoretically possible for a player to justify a multi year deal with one season, Walker didn’t. And if he misses the next 3 seasons, was it still a good f deal?
-
COVID Why else did it take 4 months?
-
Spoken like a David Price Apologist…
-
Actually I blame Betts, because he clearly wanted free agency and I don’t believe him when he did the offer was never made…
-
“Yes !! Al ways take the up college pitcher available regardless of who the best position player is!” These were the exact words of former Toronto Blue Jays GM Gord Ash right after selecting Cal State LHP Ricky Romero instead of Troy Tulowitzki…
-
Well he would have easily cut $25mill off that budget by seasons end simply by letting Mookie walk for a draft pick…
-
Same question - what do you think Dombrowski does with Betts? Trades him or lets him walk? We all know signing was not an option. Because if it was, why didn’t Dombrowski do it?
-
… by “last season” I mean 2022 season
-
Would they? Simple question - would Dombrowski have traded Betts? He showed he was not able to sign him, and per Mookie didn’t even try to. But if DD doesn’t make that trade, Betts leaves, no Verdugo, no Wong and Price would have been on the team last season…
-
Bloom seemed to lose it in July/August, at least the last two years. Which was made even more stupid by the fact that he was able to be pretty good in 2021…
-
Need a like button. Also add please improve the defense…
-
So you’re saying he didn’t rebuild the Tigers through free agency and by dealing their prospects?
-
Urias over Arroyo?
-
He rebuilt the Tigers through free agency and dealing the farm. That’s not much different than what he did in Boston…
-
Not to mention, Click went to Houston and presided over a World Series champ. Bloom didn’t work out, but the track record of former Rays’ execs is solid…
-
Either Bader or Duvall could platoon, but given the current and likely state of the Sox outfield, a full time starting job isn’t hard to imagine…
-
I’m not sold on small sample sizes for his pop. He’s a career .396 SLG with a .153 ISO. He can pop a bit I suppose. But he’s a limited hitter. If you’re looking for a RH hitter, Bader is probably not the guy. But I like him because he’s a good overall ballplayer and a big defensive step up…
