I guess I’ll just have to go with incompetent

I have a question, philly took Song by rule 5, philly will put Song on the military list so that he is not subject to the rule 5 draft until he is activated. Why didn’t the Sox do that?

I think if they can’t extend Devers this winter they trade him, get some more farm hands, I also believe that if Bogy didn’t have a no trade clause, he would have met the same fate as Mookie, Benny and possibly Devers, if they had really wanted to keep Bogaerts the $163 mil for six years they offered, had it been offered last spring he would still be a Red Sox

15 seconds with no one on and 20 with men on base

I was just listening to a pod cast and Jansen has a couple issues he needs to deal with, one is he holds the major league record for highest steal rate, of 103 attempts 96 were successful and he is also the slowest pitcher to deliver the ball to the plate last year. With the rule changes and bigger bases the base paths got shorter and now have a pitching clock, these things could possibly be a problem and one of the reasons we were able to sign him. I really hope it doesn’t play out that way I liked the deal

That’s great

There is only one left do they trade him now or wait, no way they pay Devers and there is no guarantee he would stay at any price

The Redsox best offer to Xander was 6 years $162 million I don’t think they were seriously trying to keep him just making a show for the fans

Redsox have a Christmas ticket sales event in progress, I wonder how that’s going for them

Fair enough

I wouldn’t sign price, he opted out in 2020 and 2021 he was in the bullpen, my point is your using hind site to make your decisions on a persons ability, it’s easy to decide when you already know what the outcome is, my point was signing a pitcher with a good record should cost more not be a give away

That’s true, he really didn’t help anyone but that’s not the point unless the Dodgers can see into the future and know about COVID and a year off, and base their negotiations on that, otherwise the Sox got screwed

Of course he was declining he was getting older, numbers are a manipulative thing they can be made to make anyone look good or bad depending on that persons point of view. Right now a pitcher that went 46 and 24 in the last four years if Bloom hired him would you be happy

After taking the 2020 season off I agree he was never the same, but when he was traded nobody knew that would happen

Everyone says that but I don’t remember Price being a bad pitcher, 46 and 24 is a pretty good win % he did like to stir the pot and was out spoken but as a pitcher I don’t see the problem

It was still a World Series quality team having an off year, we just won the ALEast three years in a row and a World Series, then a third place, I’m happy with that

I watched this guy take over a World Series quality team in 2019, since then he traded away Mookie the current league mvp, gold glove winner and silver slugger 11 months after winning awards and World Series, to fatten the pot they added David Price who went 46 and 24 with the Sox and paid half his salary, for Verdugo, Wong and Downs, people on here have tried to say it was a good trade but I think we all know better, then the Benny trade, no major league return, He lets Bradley walk and gets Renfroe good move, then trades Renfroe for Bradley (why) He has a good team in 2021 and doesn’t fill the holes to make team stronger in 2022 (last place again), he brags about stealing Whitlock from rule 5 draft then loses 3 of his pitchers to rule 5,. He has made some good moves but the bad far outweigh the good, the treatment of homegrown talent at contract time is horrendous and it’s starting to show, two players opted for other teams one on equal deal and another for less money it’s looking like the Sox aren’t the destination team they used to be, this team looks to have no direction other than to just barley make the playoffs and for no particular reason the Saudi’s have offered JH 3 billion dollars for the soccer team

Nooooooo I can’t watch him strike out with men on base anymore

Red Sox sign pitcher Chris Martin

Amen

Rays outbid Sox for phillys pitcher Zack Eflin

Boris also announced that Bogaerts is a shortstop and has no plans on moving position

Actually less than a year

They traded Mookie less than a year after he won a World Series, league MVP, a gold glove and a silver slugger award in one year, Could be one of the worst trades since the Babe

The Sox have him projected for 24 and you could see him some this year, did you think it was just money that bogy hasn’t been resigned
