My fear is that MLB comes down hard on the Red Sox because of all the flak they are taking on the Astros' punishment. The Sox will be the scapegoats. I hope that doesn't happen.
I like his approach. Give this guy some room under the luxury tax and he can be creative. If he can get a top pitching prospect and Myers by paying half of Myers salary I am all for it. Myers is young enough where he could become a better player than he has been. Let him tatoo the Green Monster for a year.
2-1 or 2-0 win games. As far as who got screwed worse, the Red Sox beat the Yankees during the season. They would have beat them in the playoffs too. Who is to say the Sox wouldn't have scored more runs in the first two game if they had been closer? Momentum is a funny thing. No one will ever know for sure.
The Red Sox definitely got cheated out of the 2017 World Series title. They lost to the Astros in four games, losing game 4 in the 9th inning. One inning from making it a 2-2 series. Got hammered in Houston. Surprise!
Roenicke would not have been hired if he was involved in any sign stealing. The Sox are only going to get a slap on the wrist if anything. There are no former players ratting them out (Fiers) for anything. No proof. NO crime. Move on. Nothing to see here.
I also have a brand new, never worn 2004 Red Sox WS championship T-shirt autographed on the field during the celebration at Busch Stadium by Big Papi, Varitek, Bronson Arroyo and Ellis Burks. Treasure!
I have Ted Williams, Dice-K (don't know why) and brand new never worn Mookie Betts jerseys. I have Big Papi and Ted's jerseys T-shirts. Need to get a Yaz!
Connor Wong and Jeter Downs are impressive prospects. They may help down the road or be put into another trade later to get players who can help this year or next. My guess is that Bloom will play the long game.
I feel so sorry for these multi-million dollar players (Price & Mookie) being in limbo and not knowing what luxury condo they will be living in and what city they will be playing in. Must be horrible! Tony Clark things so! What an idiot.
I don't think Bloom is a guy who is going to trade prospects like DD. He will try to build up the farm system and make smart FA signings like TB did with Charlie Morton.
