    We're all guessing, but the only thing we know for sure is that next offseason will be Bloom's fourth in charge of Boston.
  2. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Ya, but which one married Miss Universe Puerto Rico?
  3. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Yes, but only because everything we've seen about Bloom tells us he won't spend on top quality pitching anyway. My posts the past two years have been all about adding established hurlers in their primes, via free agency and/or trade, but all he ever does over and over is scour bargain bins, while he loads up on farm arms. Those are the guys the star position players will be supporting soon with bats and gloves.

    If the Sox don't offer X at least a higher AAV than Story... not only would that be insulting to a clearly better player and homegrown franchise face, but it would probably end any negotiations. As for Rafey -- he knows, his agents know, and we all know he's worth at least top of the market Rendon rate for third basemen. Right now.
  5. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    But none of us believe Boras won't demand at least that, comparing X to all the other guys that have exceeded that. That's why most of us know he's as good as gone.

    As a fan and spectator, I'll take a few A and B players over twice as many C and D guys any day. Which team wins more will then come down to who's coming up from the systems as complements.

    As for Betts, since he signed in LA during the pandemic summer for around the same AAV he turned down in Boston, we'll never know if he wasn't traded if he'd still be here today. Maybe Bloom and Co. are waiting to see Boras' demands for X and then what he has to settle for on the market, before making a legitimate offer that can keep Devers here. In other words, if Bogey doesn't get his respect -- $30M AAV -- then that may be the ceiling the Sox can reasonably offer the younger Rafey. Then again, if Bogey gets his $30, then the Sox may figure Devers will fetch at least $35... which they may decide is too rich, at which point they'll deal him.

    The average fans scratches, but anyone who's been on this board the past half year is astute enough to know Renfroe was traded for prospects. The reason Milwaukee was willing to give up the two guys they did was obviously contingent on Boston taking Bradley's salary back. Bloom essentially bought Binelas and Hamilton for what it cost to pay Bradley for a year. It is similar to paying Ottavino's contract last season to acquire Frank German. You may not ever get over it, since JBJ also fills the vacancy in RF, but the deal was never a big leaguer in exchange for a big leaguer.

    The bullpen on a whole earned the W. If Kike doesn't catch that drive, Cora would've yanked Barnes for Davis to pitch to Crawford. Four in a row -- Franchy very much!
  10. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Barnes saved the game!
  11. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Holy hanging curve!
  12. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    France will crush any heater near his bat.
  13. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Smoked. Now announcers are even less optimistic. He has no fastball.
  14. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The CBO didn't give him a choice.
  15. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Cora is on the bullpen phone, ordering pizza for after.
  16. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    One out. Now they're cautiously optimistic...
  17. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Announcers are trying to straightforward their words and not reveal any emotion whatsoever... even as company men.
  18. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    The Sox will either win in the 9th or lose in extras. The board will either be happy or blow up tonight and tomorrow.
  19. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    This is all Youk's rally headband
  20. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    ... uh-uh; each was signed by teams that played in Boston!
  21. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Schreiber for the 8th. Could we possibly see Strahm after that for the 785th day in a row?
  22. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's only the 6th...
  23. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    M's were Dieked!
  24. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    It's gotta be Matt Strahm.
  25. 5GoldGlovesOF,75
    Now we just have to bring in Barnes... to pitch to the Red Sox!
