  1. I’m starting to wonder if Syndergarrd is the guy Bloom ends up signing.
  2. I understand why people so otherwise, but there is zero law against signing Correa and not trading Mayer.
  3. Holy hell what a word salad.
  4. DD was fired, but I guess maybe the story we didn't hear was the moment he was fired he said "You can't fire me....I QUIT"
  5. That makes no sense. Bad employees who don't do their job are easier to hire. Source: I own a business.
  6. DD got fired. lol Red is the guy who has a girl break up with him and goes around telling everyone he broke up with her. lol
  7. I'm talking about the product on the field einstein. John Henry doesn't have the balls to go big. He had them in the past when he signed guys like Price but he's obviously lost them, maybe not the offseason isn't over and Correa is still out there but I'm not too hopeful they sign him. At least the bullpen is much better next year. All those 5-7 games in the 7th inning will now STAY 5-7 losses.
  8. I was guilty of wanting Nimmo too, but looking at his career at bats. He just doesn't look like a guy that can give you 500 at bats a season. That was him in his 20's what is he going to be like in his 30's????
  9. It's cute when you make up arguments. I'm literally saying the man has no balls.
  10. You think they won't reset next year?
  11. Look at the money next year. It's there. They could easily reset next year. They wouldn't have an amazing offseason BUT next years free agent class does not look very good at all and we will have less holes to fill. Literally Just kike in CF, the rest of the lineup is set.
  12. There are people who absolutely love his hit tool and think he's going to be a league leader in OBP, a high-end lead-off guy. But this is Boston....we find the bad....we amplify the bad....we shut out everything else.....and we act accordingly. Funny isn't it? in the same day we complain about the Sox being cheap we can complain about them spending too much on a guy because someone said so. someone said so too that Bogaerts was overpaid, his contract left GM rivals stunned. But this is Boston, we get to have our cake and eat it too.
  13. You can easily give Devers a 12 year deal with an opt out after the 3rd or 4th year. Which he will likely exercise and you probably lose him then BUT you get Devers for at least 3 more years in his prime.
  14. All these "It aint' my money" folks (insert R**** sponge bob face meme) are hilarious. You realize EVERYONE resets every several years now? even the Mets have 100 million coming off the books next year and will reset. LA is going to reset this year. L freaking A. Here is some food for thought. If the Sox sign a free agent with a QO attached to it they're going to lose 1 million dollars in international bonus pool money, because they went over the cap this year. If the year was 2013, this would mean they are not signing Rafael Devers to a 1.5 million dollar contract. And if it was last year they're not signing Miguel Bleis, who if you haven't heard of him you will soon. He's probably the most hyped up international signee the Sox have had since Bogaerts, and could be a top prospect in all of baseball by next year. These things matter. If you can't see why they matter? it's ok.......baseball is a thinking mans sport.
  15. Reports coming out that Bloom signed the wrong Japenese guy and was confused when he learned Yoshida can't pitch.
  16. NERDSSSS!!!!!! NERDS!!!! Everyone point and laugh at the nerds! lets take their lunch money and shove them into lockers. Stupid nerds!
  17. $25 the Mets reset the cap next year. I'll claim bonus credits for when LA resets this year.
  18. Yeah, well.....my confidence isn't sky-high right now either. I'm thinking back to the Lester debacle. It was the same thing then. The Sox will never spend money! they're cheap! dumpster divers!!! then they go out and set the market with Price. So it's lessons from the past like that keeping my hopeful. Hopefully they don't wait a whole offseason this year, because there is still talent out there and they still have some money. They need a bat, preferably at SS, they need a good starting pitcher #2 caliber or potential, and they need to extend Devers. Someone needs to Leonardo DiCaprio this s*** and go into Blooms/Henrys dream and plant the ideal into their heads that they have balls. Big balls, and they need to use them.
  19. O'Halloran is the G.M. and he doesn't handle the roster like we've been used to by GM's in the past. I don't think they were "lying" this winter. I think it was obvious they had every intention of resigning Bogaerts. They thought he was asking for too much money so they told him to go to FA and they intended to beat or match his best offer. That's why they were all smiles last week, and that's why one executive was quick to say "YES" without hesitation when asked if Boston was signing Bogaerts. The moment they saw the $280 million dollar price tag on Bogaerts they walked away (as they should have). I can see in hindsight why that might make them look like "liars" but that's not lying. In the end, the Sox misjudged Bogaerts market. We can throw around the words and get all mad and blame as many people as we want too but there isn't some sinister plot to destroy Boston with Malice going on. They misjudged Bogaerts market, that's it. That alone is enough to call them incompetent.
  20. I think it's worth noting, that the Sox have a good gm who ultimately couldn't do anything to keep Bogaerts here.
  21. Saying something is possible, and something is likely are two entirely different things. I'll say it again, John Henry doesn't have the testicles.
  22. I think we are all upset, but I wouldn’t ever want Shaughnessy being on the same page with my jokes
  23. Who thinks that?
  24. Sox are still $110 million under NEXT years cap, which is the year they’ll need to reset if they stay over next. Henry doesn’t have the balls to do this, but they could easily go Correa/Senga/extend Devers. I think Sox fans would be happy with that offseason, and it would go a long way to mitigate the loss of a star homegrown talent like Bogey.
