And the guy the Sox signed who would “never be able to replace Bogaerts” had those numbers by the end of June…
-
Agree 100%. How many people on this board will stop being Red Sox fans if Bogaerts is elsewhere next season? The Sox will lose 0 fans. But many of them will complain even more…
-
Refsnyder is a definite keeper? Seriously he’s the biggest “sell high” player on the team, ahead of even Schreiber…
-
Yes it was. But that era created a lot of bills to pay. The Sox are still paying most of them…
-
I’d rather not sign him and focus on Devers/Bogaerts…
-
So a team leading their division is dumping a guy and somehow he’s the solution?
-
Bell in only signed through November. After that he can be had like any other free agent. Christian Walker makes more long term sense…
-
Who cares if Henry buys an NBA franchise? Nothing seems more shallow than telling Henry he has to spend his money on specific teams. The guys had spent several billion dollars over the years on our entertaining and still people cry out that he’s spending more to entertain someone else?
-
That was his most egregious but Duran has had more than one incident…
-
None of the Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins play in the summer months. Many if not most fans already support multiple teams…
-
An optimist would say that means he’s well-rested…
-
Go re-read your post. You list the AL East teams and after them say “That leaves only a few AL buyers….” And go on to list the Central teams, and then say Bloom will have to focus on the NL. I don’t think anyone misread your post. You do specifically say Bllom will have to focus on the NL. That does mean you don’t think he should focus on the AL East teams…
-
The postseason has nothing to do with the division titles you cited. Apparently the original goal post location was not to your liking?
-
I’d take him over Renfroe, and we nearly went to the WS with him in RF…
-
Based on what? His -2.1 UZR/150 in 636 innings suggests he is “slightly below average” in the position. It’s not ideal, but hardly a defensive deathnail…
-
Three straight titles justifies Price? He was basically along for the ride on the last two. His first year in Boston, he was worth 4.4 fWAR. His last three totaled 6.2 fWAR. He did come up big in the postseason in 2018, finally putting his shaky October career behind him…
-
I’m the opposite. The Sox gave up a lot for Sale, but those first couple seasons, he was absolutely worth it. But signing him to a limiting AAV while he was injured was foolish. Especially since he hasn’t done anything since, which was alway a possibility. And if Sale misses the rest of 2022, that deal will have cost $72mill for 48 IP. It would be $90mill for 48 IP, but I pro-rated 2020. But hey, only 2 years $55mill left (at a $29mill AAV for tax purposes). This deal is rapidly approaching being Panda Bad…
-
Why do you eliminate AL East teams? If you’re giving up and selling off the season, the most sensible move is to trade WITH division rivals. You can create a situation where you improve your future while simultaneously weakening theirs…
-
Exactly and we know whether or not it has any steam…
-
The play of Duran in CF should actually justify the Bradley trade even more. I get moving on from Bradley, but if the Sox can win 5 or 6 of these next 7, should they still sell? And if not, put Bradley in CF and bat him 9th and maybe fewer sac flies turn into inside-the-park grand slams…
-
It looked worse on TV because Verdugo didn’t even get on screen for a second or two, but what it did do regardless of his apparent complacency was solidify everything we’ve heard about his OF defense…
-
JBJ isn’t the future either, but he does have an option. Refsnyder’s past has shown this is likely an enjoyable SSS blip for a player whose ceiling is weak side platoon option…
-
1. The Schwarber-JDM wasn’t a decision by the Sox; it was by the players. One guy chose free agency; the other chose to stay. 2. The Sox didn’t decide to keep Cordero and Dalbec at first. They just ended up there. The plan (to me anyway) was Shaw/Dalbec platoon eventually/hopefully leading to Casas. Shaw and Casas had various issues that put Cordero back in the picture. And given Dalbec’s last 3-1/2 months last year, was he really a bad option?
-
I don’t get the idea of being in both Sell Mode and Play Refsnyder Mode. Refsnyder is a 31yo AAAA journeyman. He’s the present, not the future…
-
That’s fine. My policy is to never get excited over anyone in A ball. I only even notice them in AA, which IMO is the most important step…
