I believe he wanted to sign Betts and that’s what got him fired
-
I agree he should have signed Betts first and what was left over given to sale, Sales contract has him getting deferred money from the Sox in 2035 I believe for the amount of $50 million but don’t quote me on that
-
Could you elaborate on that I looked and it doesn’t seem to me he did anything outrageous unless your talking about the Sale extension or Bogaerts contract
-
No it’s not, you need 8 players on the field that are capable of winning good defense and good offense then you get the pitchers, you don’t waste the pitching on a bad team
-
You don’t get much for $140 million anymore
-
That’s why they trade prospects and not players to get better and win championships, prospects are an uncertain you don’t get a warranty with them. When he traded for Sale he gave up a lot of top prospects that are playing today, but if he didn’t make the trade I don’t believe we win it all in 2018, and I don’t see any of those players being starters on the redsox before Bloom dismantled the Sox.
-
He said after the game that they have been in negotiations for a while, they asked about money and details, he said that’s not his thing
-
Sam Kennedy said they were in an interview with nesn
-
I know, sometimes it gets kinda hypocritical though DD did the same thing and he gets blasted for for winning a World Series, the Sox for some reason don’t have many pitchers make it, every GM with Sox have traded pieces for pitching
-
The redsox announced last night that they are in negotiations with Bogaerts
-
It’s business my friend, I hope I’m wrong
-
Are my eyes deceiving me or are you farm boys actually talking about trading away the farm for pitching, in the middle of Blooms re-build?
-
The Redsox are planning to offer an extension to Devers this winter, with the way players salaries are going they are saying it wouldn’t be out of the question for him to receive an offer of $300 million, I can’t see this version of the Sox offering anything close to that, I think they are making the offer early because if they lowball him and he refuses they will trade him this winter
-
That’s a long way from 140, I wasn’t looking at lux tax payroll
-
Bogaerts doesn’t want to opt out, I think Boris and him are planning on discussing this directly with JH at end of season, so if Bogey opts out it means he’s gone
-
If Bogey leaves it’s because of money they don’t want to spend so you really don’t really think that they would spend any money do you, all the drama around Bogaerts is because they don’t want to pay him a salary in line with other players of his talent, so it only goes to reason that they wouldn’t spend it on a free agent. So it’s Story or Downs. If you think this team will make leaps and bounds improving this year I’m afraid you going to be disappointed
-
The websites I looked at had Boston losing around 140 million in payroll this year, you could make a very good team if that money is spent wisely, recently though the Red Sox announced that they had a budget of 60 million to spend this winter. What happened? Now this is just my opinion but I think Henry and ownership are trying to con Red Sox nation by putting a cheap team of prospects on the field with just enough help to not be in the cellar and make an occasional wild card appearance, but don’t count on any rings, they’re just trying to improve how they are perceived and not really build a contender. As long as their good enough to put people back in the seats is all they care.
-
If Bogaerts opts out now your looking at Story at ss and Kiki at second and you’ve lost a .300 hitter with an outfield that leaves a lot to be desired on defense, JD had a horrible year for power one of the many reasons we were so bad, but we need a guy like him that can get 30 or 40 hr. I think the Sale from 2018 is gone, what we get might not be very impressive. Paxton hasn’t pitched since 2019 he has a mutual option with Sox for2 more years, and I believe a good raise goes with it, I doubt the Sox want to keep him but they don’t have the finale say, ( not a good contract for Sox unless he returns to form)catching looks fine so far but McGuire has never produced like this offensively only time will tell, Whitlock had hip surgery, look for him in bp same thing with Houck disc, one year contracts for hurt or old pitchers is not encouraging, all the while the other 4 teams in the division actually try to improve,
-
I’m not very optimistic about next years team, if we go with what’s been on the field lately and add bottom of the barrel pitching (old and injured) I don’t see us moving up in the standings at all, especially if they don’t replace DJ’s bat, because the other teams in our division will make an honest effort to improve.
-
Thanks, that’s a lot more complicated than I thought it would be
-
Not just Cordero but Dalbec and Sawumora were not protected either according to that
-
lol
-
Are you saying that the Sox sent them down to AAA without using their remaining option in order to save it
-
I don’t think he has any minor league options left, last mention of one I found was spring of 2021
-
In 2022 Franchy Cordero actually had a higher avg. obp, slg and ops than Dalbec did, do we keep him too?
