Presumably to get more back. It also didn’t help that the 2020 Benintendi that they traded did look like he he’s as never played baseball before…
-
That certainly makes their team interesting. Their two best prospects are shortstops and their current OF is Harrison Bader, Aaron Hicks, and Anybody’s Guess…
-
Every GM makes bad deals. Show me a GM who’s never made a bad trade or authored a bad contract, and I’ll show you a GM who isn’t active enough…
-
So do you think the Rangers - who won 10 fewer games than Boston and finished 38 games behind Houston - were ready to go for it?
-
If the Sox can’t get Bogaerts back or move on to Correa, Elvis Andrus is probably a much wiser move than Swanson, all things considered…

I disagree
-
Yes. But once that money was committed to Sale, there was no chance of re-opening negotiations with Betts…
-
If i were allowed to pick the GM from anyone on this board, I wouldn’t pick you. But I would let you fire whoever I picked…
-
I’d be awful, as I can be too impulsive and I’m easily swayed…
-
Isn’t that what I said?
-
I thought at the time Middlebrooks tripped him up on purpose…
-
Offense was not the primary reason for last year’s disappointing season…
-
Most of that damage came from an awful 2019, where he had -9.6 RngR. Outside of that season, he’s league-average for Range…

The Sox lost Betts when Dombrowski signed Sale. Bogaerts is a tough call for me, since the bat plays, but the glove doesn’t, and the player refuses to change positions (so far). If some team gives Bogaerts $216mill over 8, the Sox probably dodged a bullet…

It was a bang bang play with a bad throw, a diving third baseman and a slide. Craig did nothing wrong. Middlebrooks absolutely tripped him. And Craig would have been safe if he hadn’t. The right call was made. It’s Middlebrooks job/responsibility/respect for the game to not obstruct the runner. It’s not Craig’s job to avoid the obstruction. Miguel Tejada learned this the hard way, too

Perhaps they are just honoring the Mariners as a brilliantly run franchise that knows how to draft prospects, develop them, build a team, time their trades, balance offense, defense and pitching. Basically they know how to do everything perfectly about how to run an entire MLB organization from top to bottom. Everything except win…

I still think Will Middlebrooks injured Craig when he tripped him in the World Series…
-
But the whole thing originated out of a hypothetical scenario Rosenthal dreamed up and then Massarotti - through either malice or sheer stupidity or both - then foisted off on everyone as if it was a done deal…
-
No. Lackey did not throw a hissy fit. Ken Rosenthal wrote a blurb about Lackey in which he was talking about a contract extension for Lackey, and HYPOTHETICALLY, as in WITHOUT RALKING TO LACKEY AT ALL, mentioned Lackey’s only way out of the minimum wage year was to retire, and this was his only leverage in a contract extension. And then Rosenthal went on to say that he ultimately expected both sides to agree on a two year extension. An illiterate motherf***er named Tony Massarotti apparently read this article and wrote his own version that said - and I am quoting here - “According to Ken Rosenthal, John Lackey has threatened to retire over playing for minimum wage.” Lackey never threw a fit. The whole controversy came about because Tony Massarotti can’t read…

It’s very hard to call a deal that pays a pitcher a yearly salary of $37mill when, at most, he will pitch in 33 games, as anything other than “player friendly.” They could have a clause in there that if he loses to the Marlins, he has to eat a heaping bowl of moose doots for breakfast. And it would still be player-friendly…
-
What went wrong with the Lackey deal?
-
1. Yes 2. No
-
The difference between history and current affairs is simply a matter of timing…
-
They were in my original proposal, but Casas was the Headliner and Rafaela the Solid Ancillary Piece…
