very true.....rest of article spoke of Bloom's history with Rays to buy out couple of free agent years during player's pre-arbitration period and not wait to extend during arbitration years.
-
The Red Sox have only four players -- Chris Sale, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez and Nathan Eovaldi -- locked into salaries through 2022, with the rest of the roster either arbitration-eligible or set to hit free agency by that point. Some of the club’s young players are candidates for extensions, even in these uncertain financial times. Music to my ears....Bloom has blank canvass to paint his masterpiece...
-
Betts was gone when he refused our last offer.....how much did you want to pay him?
-
Your statement makes absolutely no sense. Red Sox gave up one year of service from Betts (which later turned out to be 60 game season) for perhaps 3 future major leaguers. Do you really think we lost that trade?
-
Well thank you....That's the type of deal that will keep the pipeline full, eventually
-
There was much debate on this board about bringing up Moncada....several arguments against it....not ready, damage his psyche, etc. I'm glad he got an audition just to find out what he was made of....he played third because of second base being blocked by Dustin. He made his audition. Devers was deemed to be better so they had no problem including him in the deal. The one I hated to see go was Kopech.
-
I've been impressed with Bloom so far.....his every move makes the team better....glad he's on our side...
-
Well Kopech hasn't done anything to deserve a 4 year $68M extension. I just liked him.....we'll see about his injury but your're right. I just liked the guy when he was traded to White Sox. Obviously DD knew about Devers and Moncada was expendable because we already had a second baseman....Pedey.......oh wait...
-
Yep, Yep, Yep....3 last places in 4 years. What did anyone expect DD to do? Stay the course? Henry didn't hire DD to improve to 4th place in standings. DD did his job, Henry no longer needed him, adios. That's how the business world works. No lifetime job guaranty.
-
Do we try to extend E Rod in off season? Do we sign and trade him? I can see the latter happening.
-
"Tanks for the Memories"......Classic...my coffee just came out of my mouth...
-
Only player I want back from DD deals is Kopech....I still think he'll have a stellar career. But we did what we did to get Sale on his OLD contract. That was still a good trade.
-
Boston would forfeit its second-highest pick and $500,000 in international signing bonus pool money. The Red Sox will draft fourth overall in 2021 if MLB decides to use 2020 win-loss records to determine draft order, as expected. The Red Sox also would have the fourth pick in the second round. Would they want to give up a second-round draft pick that high? Springer and Bauer have qualifying offer attached to them.......I think Bloom values his 5th pick in the second round...what do you think? He made Rays competitive without paying premium money on a player....I don't think its in his DNA to do it while rebuilding the farm system.
-
Bingo....
-
You damn right.....if Sox non tender him, what would the Yankees pay him?
-
I'm just curious how long have all of you been a Sox fan? I've been a Sox fan since 1967 when I was 11 years old. I came here from Japan, I didn't speak English but I loved baseball. With passing of Bob Gibson, it reminded me that I could have easily been a Cardinals fan. I just think as a little boy, "Red Sox" made sense even with the language barrier. So....about 52 seasons? ps...for the younger fans, back then it was NBC and game of the week for most of the country... mlb.com subscription was not available...
-
tTe truth teller! I always appreciate your medical input. I'm just enjoying watching Bloom put a contender together. Franchise built for sustaining playoff worthy teams year end year out. I'm willing to give him until 2022 to see significant improvements. Sale comes back when he comes back. I like what the Dodgers are doing except for losing its final game every year. And finally, we've done pretty well since 2004, no? (not directed at you Jackson....)
-
I know this sounds strange but it's out of respect for JBJ. I don't want him on the cheap....that will destroy his pride.....he can probably get more elsewhere....it's just best to part company
-
Bigger point is I rather have anyone other and JBJ in CF for Sox in 2021. Pedey is history. I predict Beni will never recover from whatever that ills him. Quit living in the past and move on. You have to decide who gets salvaged from the team going over the cliff.....I don't believe JBJ should be one of them. I'm happy his $11M is out of our luxury tax component.
-
this is the problem with Sox and I doubt the new GM will follow suit....just move on....his prolonged slumps are horrendous....his best days playing defense is long gone move on.....I rather see Duran get the playing time than someone like JBJ....
-
I like that approach....
-
That's the best short synopsis for this off season Moon.
-
Yep...maybe Cora didn't cheat with the Sox but his fingerprints were all over Houston cheating scandal. Clean slate is clean slate.
-
Perfect summation.....I enjoy your posts. As a Sox fan pressure is all on Yankees. Getting to the World Series means nothing to the Yankees from my perspective. They have to win it all. Otherwise, the world series count is 4-1 in favor of the Sox in Henry era. Having the third worst record in a 60 game season is something I can tolerate. I'm anxious to see what Bloom will do with the high draft pick. Now if the Yankees win it all, yeah it'll sting a bit.
-
Yes you are....
