I agree with you about those mega deals being given out this year. None of those guys are worth what they are getting. The Sox screwed up by not signing Mookie or getting equal value for him and by not locking up Xander when they could have. Had they kept those two, they would still have a nucleus of stars to build around. As it is now, if they don't sign Devers, Sox fans will be waiting to see if Casas and/or Mayer can be stars.

That will get you some last places finishes. Like last year. The Sox are now like the December 26th shoppers. Out there looking for great bargains after not wanting to pay top dollar for the good stuff. You get what you pay for. The roster now (I know, it may look different by opening day) is a last place team in the AL East.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

The point is that the big boys are playing chess and Bloom is playing checkers.
-
The Niko Goodrum era has begun. Another great signing by Bloom. It must have been the 5-43 he put up with the Astros that drew Bloom to him. You're killing me Smalls.
-
I'd sing too for 14.5 million.
-
I'd prefer Whitlock in the bullpen.

SOX sign Justin Turner.

The Red Sox going into a season not expecting to be competitive is not acceptable and is an indictment of the whole organization starting at ownership and going down to the front office. These are the Boston Red Sox, NOT the Pittsburgh Pirates. They must think Sox fans are a bunch of suckers. We are always going to cherish the 4 WS titles but they can't live off those going forward. Put a good product on the field. Spend some money and get good some good players. I am convinced that the analytical geeks are ruining baseball and the Sox front office is filled with them. Give me Dave Dombrowski any day.
-
I am just being realistic. Most of the guys on that list suck. They can't help a contending team, which the Sox aren't so I suppose Bloom will keep them all. Couldn't trade them for anything.
-
No more than 5 guys on that list are worth a crap.
-
Jim Rice and Fred Lynn aren't walking through that door.
-
I still don't know why Bloom gave up on Groome for Hosmer!
-
JDM to Dodgers, one year, 10 million.

Its sad to say that the Sox have become a penny pinching mid-market team who won't compete with the big boys (Yankees, Dodgers, Padres) for top end players. The Sox are going after bargains. Bargains don't put fans in the seats or want people to watch on T.V. If they are going to trade stars like Betts, they better be able to identify the top prospects on the team they are trading with. They totally whiffed on Jeter Downs, Verdugo and Wong for Betts. They are a boring product right now and it doesn't look promising at all for the coming years. I have no reason to renew my MLB extra innings on Directv. They aren't worth the money. Give me the days of Dan Duquette or Theo when if the Sox wanted a guy, they usually got him or at least made a huge bid.
-
JBJ sucks. He isn't worth the major league minimum. He can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag. Its laughable to even suggest signing him.
-
I hope you are joking!
-
Jeter Downs won't be part of 2023 Red Sox. DFA'd today. Mookie trade looking better every day.
-
You realize that the Skankees just gave 360 million to a guy who continually chokes in the playoffs? Cashman is no smarter than Bloom. 44 games, 171 ABs .211BA .310 OBP. 462 Slugging .772 OPS Judge sucks in the playoffs. He hasn't EVER been on a World Series Champion!!! Talk about over paid!
-
Probably better than getting smoked by the Astros every year.
-
Steve Nebraska was better than Ohtani
-
And Ricky Vaughn.
-
Bloom needs to beat the bushes and find a Roy Hobbs.

do not trade marcello mayer!!!!!!!!
