(Sigh) If Bogaerts signs the extension, it’s the same as opting out. It was a 4 year offer. And that could mean there were other differences besides the money. Contracts have more detail than salary and years. They’re dozens of pages long…
-
The $20mill AAV was dirt cheap for Bogaerts even in 2019. The $30mill AAV had already been breached by infielders Manny Machado and Anthony Rendon…
-
It was an extension to benefit Boston. If it was so good, why did Bogaerts opt out?
-
It was the equivalent of a one year $30mill extension, but that’s only if you still include the 3 years $60mill that Bogaerts already opted out of. And why shouldn’t he have counteroffered? That’s how negotiations work…
-
But why is 3 years $60mill good but 4 years $90mill insulting? Dombrowski had the chance to lock up Betts and Bogaerts, but all he really got us was an injured Chris Sale…
-
Groome was the best player in the 2016 draft and was passed over by 11 teams and I gave Dombrowski credit for drafting him…
-
One might also argue his 3year $60mill extension of Bogaerts wasn’t all that great, either…
-
You forgot how much they cost. Also, you seriously think Price was an asset by 2020? Heck, was Sale?
-
Whatever. This coming from the Mater of quotes he clearly doesn’t understand. So now you’re trying to say you didn’t mean having those prospects meant DD didn’t empty the farm. Despite that being exactly what we were talking about. Face it. DD emptied the farm. You have yet to show otherwise…
-
Bloom lacks his accolades and will probably never achieve a lot of the awards and successes DD has already. But will he ever get fired for leaving an organization in complete disarray like Dombrowski has twice already?
-
Post 7186 on this thread when you cited them as proof the farm wasn’t emptied…
-
You gave credit to DD for having Bello, Casas and Rafaela as proof the farm was not emptied. Now are you arguing that Bello (4.71 ERA) and Casas (.197 BA) have produced in a Sox uniform? In their limited time? And Rafaela, who has yet to play? I mean, since none have been traded, and none have produced, shouldn’t they be suspects and not prospects? And therefore not proof that DD didn’t empty the farm. Or is there now suddenly another option from Mr. “Well you said this”?
-
So the same guy who says “they’re all suspect until they contribute wearing a Sox uniform” is suddenly on board with the prospect status of Rafaela, Casas and Bello? Apparently they’re only suspect when it comes time to credit other GMs…
-
A fair point. Particularly Eovaldi.
-
Not really. He did what he was hired to do. But he also got fired for what he did. But what did I say about him that was wrong? Has he ever won anything through any method except spending? Heck even the 1997 Marlins were an exercise in high budget free agency. I’m just never going to be impressed by that tactic…
-
Bloom gets blamed for what he did. And yes, DD emptied the farm. The argument that no one he traded became a star was always the wrong one, and the type of thing people say to justify it…
-
He’s not good when not allowed to spend…
-
The problem with Dombrowski was all he knew how to do was spend. He never acquired a single player that made you wonder what he saw in the guy and then later thought “ohhhhh, THAT’s what Dave saw.” I suppose Ryan Brasier was the closest. It makes me think he has no baseball acumen and just knows how to stack up the star players and create massive crippling debt while emptying farms for teams. And then he gets fired and the next guy gets blamed while cleaning up the mess. It’s like he’s not only piloting that ship into an iceberg, but he also makes sure to burn all the lifeboats before impact. And then watches the captain of the incoming rescue boat get blamed. Does anyone think Tigers’ fans sing his praises the way people on this board do?
-
I have no doubt Feltman could have jumped right from college to MLB. Now would he have been any good?
-
15? I’ll challenge that claim…
-
I’ve been saying that for 3 months…
-
Personally, I’d have been more excited if we got an alchemist…

Blacksmithing!!

I’m hesitant. Denlinger turns 27 in July…
