You lost all credibility when you said Eric Hosmer is the worst first baseman in baseball. And you said it on a forum filled with fans who spent half of 2022 watching Franchy Cordero, who will be the first player in history to have the position on his Topps card listed as “Attempted First Base” Also you fail to acknowledge the other incredibly obvious way the prospects can help. And to acknowledge non-free ways to spend money, which you might think you’d recognize as a Yankee fan. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, feel free to ask Adam Ottavino…

If they lose in their first round, a lot of us will have some difficulty recognizing your fun….
-
He’d get claimed. Miguel Andujar got claimed, and hen hasn’t been relevant in 4 years. If you’re capable of reaching MLB and make no money, there is always some level of interest…

Did it benefit the Sox to wait? Austin Riley, coming of a 4.7fWAR in 2021 and in the midst of a 5.4 fWAR 2022, signed a 10 year extension for the exact same $21mill AAV that Devers (4,2 fWAR in 2021, 4.7 fWAR in 2022) turned down…
-
Too bad Miami passes. I suspect a Luzardo for Rafaela/Gonzalez deal is reasonable but not something that makes their Fish Nipples go all a quiver. Or whatever Marlins do when excited…
-
He is younger. Also more talented but less healthy, so there’sa trade-off that requires prioritization.
-
If you think the Sox are one player away, why do you want Bloom fired?
-
I’m hoping the Sox can get one of the Miami pitchers or pry away the salary of Blake Snell from an over-committed Sa Diego team. Or both…
-
I’m thinking No Way on Judge but Correa might happen…
-
No one should have to watch that atrocity and making anyone do so should be a punishable war crime…
-
You have to bear in mind that PCL batting averages are like SAT scores where you get 200 points just for showing up…
-
Swap him for Jo Adell!
-
Even the one of the deadline re-enforcements got injured…
-
For all the fuss about this, the US has the same laws regarding visitors. That’s why all the Dominican players are vaccinated and there were never any who couldn’t travel to Canada..
-
That was the theory yesterday. But we have a new development…
-
But he was never available for Duran, which was my point…
-
And there were many others who felt it would take more than what Liam Hendricks got (3 years $54mill) to extend Barnes...
-
He STILL thinks the Twins would have taken Duran for Berrios? And still doesn’t realize they received a much better package from Toronto? He’s getting stupider…
-
That you single out 5 seasons in an 86 year stretch more than makes the point…
-
Sure there are. Bello, Crawford and Casas, for starters…
-
Bloom was in charge in Boston in 2021 when the Sox made the ALCS. Does that count as success?
-
No. What we have is people who pointed out years ago things could get tough for the Sox due to their elevated payroll and very weak farm, and where we are now is exactly where some of us said we be would be years ago. Ironically the same people who said “there’s no cliff” nor find them watching the team plummet over the edge and still say “But it’s not the cliff.” This was all inevitable. Just because you didn’t like that reality doesn’t change that…
-
So the highest payrolls in the league can withstand more injuries. The Sox can’t or at least won’t spend like the Mets and Dodgers to get that kind of depth. In terms of payroll, we’re closer to being the White Sox than we are the Mets. And the White Sox are likely missing the postseason, and have also had a lot of injuries…
-
Really? Have you seen how Tampa has been dong since he got some authority with that organization in 2008? And with bitterly no budget?
-
It clearly wasn’t sustainable. The payroll was maxed out with aging free agent deals and DD only made things worse by extending Sale. The Price contract, like it or not, has devastating effects on the long term sustainability of this team…
