Gammons on Bogaerts
-
Really? I’ve named more names as options than most people…
-
That’s very possible . They did sign a QO free agent in Story. And they gain QO comp picks for Eovaldi and Bogaerts. But the plan to rebuild the farm certainly certainly can’t revolve around giving up picks every year, either…
-
Oh what the heck. Why not Nimmo?
-
Only if you pretend to know everything about these negotiations. We’ve all heard the lowball offer story, but really none of us knows if that really was the offer. So far, the source everyone likes to cite is the New York Post. Why just them? We never heard anything else about Bogaerts’ demands. We’ve heard numerous stories that Bogaerts was the Sox “top priority,” but not one story about upping the lowball offer? It’s reached the point where every aspect of this story is suspect…
-
What exactly is on JH?
-
Not to mention, Bogaerts may have his own thoughts on the subject. And ultimately it’s Bogaerts who makes the final decision…
-
Maybe. Of course right now all we’re doing is theorizing on their motives. Until these motives become reality, explaining is really not required…
-
My best guess is someone other than Kike…
-
At the very least, e don’t know if their interest in Bogaerts is greater or less than anyone else’s, as measured in US dollars…
-
Point?
-
If they have that much faith in Mayer, I suspect a stopgap shortstop will be signed (Andrus?) or acquired via trade (Mondesi?). Or Kike will play the position for one year…
-
San Diego wants more shortstops? Last year they had shortstops playing second base, third base, left field, and center field on occasion. Oh and they had one at shortstop. And they did all this with their actual starting shortstop out with an injury, and later a suspension. They might want to consider players who have played other positions once in a while…
-
You’re assuming their voiced interest in Bogaerts actually indicates interest in Bogaerts…
-
I guess Dusty Baker doesn’t really think he is such a detrimental force in the clubhouse after all…
-
They’re becoming the Bond Villains of MLB…

It’s not even Bloom in particular that Bloom supporters like. It’s the organization’s newfound dedication to maintaining a competitive team by building a winner from within as opposed to quick fix high-priced solutions that offer no guarantee of winning but do provide a guarantee of down years while those players decline and strangle the budget. Bloom may or may not be the guy. If he gets fired and Click (who really didn’t do it for Houston) replaces him, that’s ok, since it still means that is the goal. (Really the readily available Jeff Lunhow might be the guy, as he built the Astros.) I just want this team to compete every year without those awful years waiting for expensive players and their deals to expire. If Bloom gets us there, great. If he flops and Lunhow or Click or whoever does, also great. If the Sox give up and just start throwing money around and emptying the farm, hopefully it works quickly. Because it will definitely fail long term…
-
Except the answer to the actual chicken/egg question is really quite obvious…
-
If projections are any indication, Contreras is less likely to inhibit upping Devers than any of Swanson, Bogaerts , Turner and Correa…
-
Also 8 OAA, second only to Swanson. But Andrus won’t require a 6 year 9 figure deal…
-
Right. You don’t get swayed. You just constantly cite them to support your opinion…
-
The real argument is - is Devers a $300mill player by today’s standards? Austin Riley says no. Arguments can be made for and against comparing him to Rendon, most of which hinge on Rendon also being vastly superior defensively. As he’s just 26, I’m fine with the 10 year deal. The real issue is - Devers has no real reason to rush into anything…
-
Doubtful, but it might not be a bad idea. I mean, 3 years? Still I’d much rather just extend the 3b currently the roster…
-
He doesn’t get how the media works. He thinks their business model is to inform…
-
How old are you? Six!?! The entire point -since the opinions of others cannot be proven either way - is to ignore them and just use your own. Two posts ago, you denied getting swayed by sports media opinions. And then you cite two of them. This is getting sad…
