I don’t think that’s where he’s going. If his point is getting good players limits you in the rest of your lineup, then you’re better off not having them. For example, if the Sox had retained Mookie, we’d have no Bogaerts and probably no Sale (who has admittedly been a health nightmare and bad contract). What’s going on with this team is they know they are limited to how many superstars they can afford long term, and therefore find it necessary to compliment them with min wage or dirt cheap players who are actually good. The trouble is figuring who these players will be. And

Manny and the first ARod deal were both rarities in that the players were good for the life of the deal. Part of the reason is Manny was roughly the same age as Mookie but signed for 4 fewer years, and that was a product of the times. 8 year deals were considered crazy back then…

Franchy was always one of those toolsy guys. Sometimes they do become Byron Buxton. But sometimes they’re just Cameron Maybin. And plenty of them are just Michael Coleman…
-
And last time he said Story had a .000 BA vs 95+ mph, it took looking at 2 box scores to see it was incorrect…
-
The Sox signed players to 7 and 5 year contracts that produced very little. Imagine if Sale was a 12 year contract. I’m sure the deadweight of Steasburg’s deal is a factor in Soto’s availability…
-
Actually 56 blown saves. Of course your precious Yankees have 48 blown saves in that same time frame. It probably doesn’t help your statement that you have no idea what a blown save is…

1. I agree that it was just one loss. Losing 28-5 and 6-5 both count the same. 2. The ragtag bullpen that was constructed appeared to me to contain Barnes, Whitlock, and Houck for the backend. Barnes’ collapse last season probably/possibly raised concerns but it did only span 10 IP and he had been thoroughly dominant before it and had been an All Star closer in 2021…

7/23 Jays @ Fenway, game time 4:10
notin replied to Maxbialystock's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
According to B-R, the Sox payroll for 2022 is $182 million*, and currently has $93 on the Injured List. Per that same source, 10 teams in MLB have entire payrolls less than $93mill… *I’m fairly certain payroll numbers from B-R are just aggregate salary totals for the year and not AAV numbers used for luxury tax purposes… -
7/23 Jays @ Fenway, game time 4:10

SI left out the part of the quote where he asked if the press were better defenders. ”I just lost it in the twilight,” he said, via Christopher Smith of MassLive. “It’s the most helpless feeling you could ever feel.” As for why he didn’t hustle to get the ball when he noticed where it landed, Duran said left fielder*Alex Verdugo*was closer to the ball and he didn’t want to get in the way. “Dugie was right there already,” he said. “Obviously I should have taken a step or two. But he was already going to beat me to the ball so I just didn’t want to get in his way. What if I sprinted and collided with him or something like that? But next time I know to take one or two steps. But he was already going to beat me to the ball.” It looked far worse on camera, since Verdugo was not on screen when the ball landed well past where Duran was standing. And continued standing. But for all of you who wondered why the Sox re-acquired Bradley, now you’ve seen it… -
Red Sox trade Hunter Renfroe in trade involving Jackie Bradley Jr

Psycho is overrated. Jaws is underrated. The sequels to both were unwatchable… -
I am not sure either the Sox or the Yankees can put together the best offer. Baltimore probably could, but will the Nationals deal their superstar to the team that they fight with for broadcasting dollars?
-
Absolutely. More prime years left for Soto that might make him worth it. Judge struggled to stay healthy in his 20s. I doubt his 30s will be any better…
-
And then the Sox flip Graceffo along with Mayer, Casas and Bello for Juan Soto (which doesn’t work out on BTV. Not even close.)
-
A fair deal on BTV is Bogaerts for 22yo RHP Gordon Graceffo, a fifth rounder from Villanova with a 3.21 ERA in AA Springfield in 9 starts covering 53 IP…
-
With Molina retiring in 4 months, I doubt Herrera is all that available…

It’s just hamstring inflammation…

3 last place finishes outranks 3 bad games. By a lot. The 1978 Red Sox did host a series that became known as the Boston Massacre - a four game sweep in which the Yankees outscored them 42-9. Should that team have sold off, too?
-
Please find me one report that says that. And then explain why Berrios and his current 5.22 ERA, which would easily be the worst among Sox SP, are supposed to be a difference maker…
-
Not with the same people at the helm. George passed in 2010. Since then, 0 titles…
-
Why? Seattle had a negative run differential all season last year and just missed the postseason on the final weekend…
-
The thing is, moon’s opinions on whether or not to sell are irrelevant. So are yours. And mine. And everything else’s on this board. Obviously you see where this is going. Now I have no idea what Bloom’s plans are, but I do know (not think, know) that a singular loss by 23 runs is not viewed as heavily by him as it is being by us.
-
Despite several seasons where the Sox were mid-season sellers, they’ve never had a youth movement or total rebuild…
-
Yes but incorrectly. A 4.01 ERA for a starter is mediocre. (Actually it’s pretty good.) A 4.01 ERA is not mediocre for a short reliever and certainly not for a closer.
-
Current Yankee ownership = 0 titles…

Last I checked this isn’t an answer to the question you were asked…
