It just seems wrong to trade away all stars and some very good players to get prospects that you hope will turn into major leaguers to do what the players you traded were already doing, I think they jumped the gun breaking up the 2019 team
-
I didn’t say they were all gone, how do you mean emptied traded away or brought up
-
You know the Sox had a pretty good farm a few years back, it got depleted when they ended up on the 2017, 2018, 2019 teams Bogaerts, Vasquez, JBJ, Betts, Benintendi, Devers, those 6 of the starting 8 all came through the Red Sox system, shame that they are gone. So yes definitely give Detroit a call
-
Kimbrel lousy spell check
-
I’m not sure about the accuracy of these numbers so if someone else could check it would be great, 2019 Red Sox payroll $236,171,000 2022 Red Sox payroll $239,604,000 the 2019 team had Betts, Price, Benintendi, Moreland, Porcello, Holt and Kimberly on that team that were let go but the payroll went up and the quality went down. Just don’t make sense so if someone else could check it would be great.

So other than on base pct. and all star appearances their pretty close, this has gone far enough all I said was watching him reminded me of Evans I never said he was as good as Dwight. Here’s something I looked up that doesn’t seem quite right maybe you know a better place to look. Red Sox 2019 payroll $236,171,000.00 Red Sox 2022 payroll $239,604,000.00
-
This winter will tell the whole story with the contracts coming off payroll their payroll will drop to under 100 million this winter therefore no more excuses about not having money to spend
-
Your comparing a seasoned Evans to a unseasoned Renfroe the two are very similar .268 with 30 bombs described Dwight and Renfroe pretty well. Hunter needed work on his fielding but I’m sure he would have come around. Evans was not a flashy player he was an Ironman for the Sox and I think Renfroe could have been one as well
-
I have no problem with the trade deadline this team is going nowhere, my problem , is when people start trying to save the Red Sox money and worrying about them exceeding the salary cap, they usually do. Before JH bought the team I suffered threw the Yawkey years, I don’t know if your old enough to remember the Sox in the 60’s and 70’s 8 or 10 thousand people in the stands, never really made a effort to win they had some great players that were on poor teams, it’s a shame players like Yaz, Rice, Williams never got a ring of their own and why because they were cheap, cheap,cheap, cheap, cheap and something else that doesn’t need to be said, so once again I have no problem with the trade deadline
-
Another one worrying about billionaires money maybe you can have some bake sales or rummage sales to raise some extra money for them, ticket sales have been down they can use all you can spare, that budget number is just that a number and can change whenever John Henry and the Red Sox want it too and usually does
-
Hunter Renfroe reminded me a lot of Evans in right field
-
It’s not up to us to enforce it or even worry about it it’s only a number on a piece of paper, that can change on a JH whim
-
That crap team in 2019 had Betts, Bogaerts, Benintendi, Vasquez, Moreland, JD Martinez, Holt, Devers, Bradley, that’s a pretty good roster to inherit and you really think this years team compares to the 2019 team, WOW
-
You sound like it’s coming out of your pocket instead of a multi billion dollar corporations
-
Bloom will probably have two last place finishes in his first three years and no championships. The last three GM’s all won a championship in their first three years
-
Not just the Sox but all teams claim dozens of players of weavers over the years, mostly to restock the minor leagues, most don’t work out for one reason or another but when one does it doesn’t make the GM a genius he’s just lucky they found lightening in a bottle, in Schribers case he was claimed in 2019 there’s no way anyone could say they new he would be this good, on Whitlock and the rule 5 it was a good grab but I wonder given Blooms obsession with pitchers if it was more a let’s give him a shot we got nothing to lose or he new something, and I’m not criticizing him here I think he knows more than most when it comes to recognizing pitching talent, but if he had to keep Whitlock on the roster all season with a mlb salary with no chance to give him back I wonder it he would have taken the chance, therefore low risk and he got lucky, it’s not an insult it’s part of the game
-
There is no risk in taking a player off rule 5 if they don’t work out you return them with money ($100,000 I think) and they do have people watching the wire and someone off wavers you can DFA so there is no risk only luck
-
There is no risk taking a player off the rule 5 draft or weavers I’m sure the Red Sox have a team of people just checking those things, if they didn’t work out they would be gone. He got lucky
-
All I’m seeing here are lame excuses, would Boston have fallen into the ocean if he didn’t trade Betts, Price and Benintendi that first year, It certainly would have been a better team if he hadn’t
-
Traded a 30 HR guy for Bradley
-
In case you didn’t notice the rest of the team is not solid
-
He’s had money to spend he just didn’t spend it wisely, and in the next few years your going to see the teams that want championships ignoring the salary cap like the Dodgers have and spending what they have to to win (330 million salary and 47 million in penalty tax) MLB totally blew it by not caping players salary, the money they demand will keep any team from competing unless they ignore the salary cap, so in my opinion this is the wrong era to try and operate a team on the cheap unless you don’t really care if you win
-
Maybe the Astros and Dodgers got the good ones, you know what they say there’s always one rotten apple in the bushel
-
How many championships are you going to win if your players are passable, I think I’d want at least ok
-
I guess we will just have to Wait and see
