    More proof. Every time you post its proof, and the more you post the more proof it is. Just not the proof YOU think it is.🤭🙈👋

    Gibberish? Someone who writes as many word salads as you do shouldn’t be calling anyone out.. I suggested some answers last offseason when there was some production bats available. Everything that you suggest never happens. Why is that.?🤔

    Top quality bat? You mean we have to now trade for one? I thought that was all taken last year when some were available on the market that all they would have cost is money you know like Baltimore did with ALONSO. Trading Arias, or little A might hamper the long term outlook for success? Casas, RAF MAN, Mayer, KC, little A, and Teel were supposed to be the long term access to success. How has that worked out?🙈🤔

    Number 1 NOBODY is asking you to care. You guys crack me up. All I did was mention that all Atlanta had to pay in 2024 in actual cash value was $500,000 for Chris sale to win a CY Young for them, and for some reason ORDS you guys took it, and ran off with it from there. Bottom line in all of this is that Brez got his pockets picked, and fleeced by Atlanta, and Brez was so grateful he chipped in $17M. Now if this had been the other way around, and Boston had picked up a CY Young winner from someone who chipped in $17M for a SUSPECT you all would have been praising Brez to high heaven, but unfortunately that didn’t happen that way.Oops🙈..

    How did Brez get Brez?🤔

    Yes his arm was a wet noodle, but the Red Sox still offered him $40M for 4 years. I enjoyed Jacoby playing for the Yankees better.
  7. Old Red
    I didn’t say horrible, but I just don’t think he’s as good as you do, and I’ll leave it at that.
  8. Old Red
    He was good enough to play CF when the Red Sox won, and Jacoby was still a couple of years away. Red Sox offered $40M, and the Yankees went to $52M.

    Duran’s weak arm has been well documented, and I’m not disputing that, but that doesn’t change anything on little A. I just don’t need graphs, and stats I guess to tell me how good someone is, or going like you guys are all hooked on it seems. When your watching a game to you have to look up something to tell you what you are watching, and how good someone is. That’s fine if you do for you, but I’m just not that needy, or interested for that matter.

    You’re going off on such a simple thing. Atlanta paid Sale $500,000 in 2024 to win a CY. Those are the facts. What they have to do beyond 2024 wasn’t a point, but you took it there. Keep going, but it doesn Change 2024.
  11. Old Red
    The Red Sox like logjams. That’s pretty evident, and obvious.
  12. Old Red
    Huh? Not in 2024, and that was the point all along. $500,000 for a CY in 2024. I repeat 2024. Nothing more, and nothing less.
  13. Old Red
    You mean the Butterfly Man?. Duran has been around longer, and he has been dissected at length. Plus he never had the hype, and expectations that little A has had before he even got to Portland let alone Boston. If your stats, and graphs tell you little A is a good outfielder, and that’s what you depend on to help you decide then run wild, and run free, and think he is.🙈
  14. Old Red
    I don’t know who was questioning that, but it’s a pretty low bar. Throw in Johnny Damon too if it makes you feel better about little A.
  15. Old Red
    In the limited time he played last year he made some very weak throws in real games in real time. You can have your nice graphics though if it makes you feel better.
  16. Old Red
    It’s his indecisive check swings that was the problem this past season. Got him a nice, and long paid vacation in Florida. What a deal!
  17. Old Red
    I’m sure you have some kind of stat you’re leaning on, but the good old eye test was really impressed with his little League arm last year. What impressed you the most?🤔
  18. Old Red
    I’m not counting on much from Mead, or from little A for that matter healthy, or not until he proves otherwise. little A isn’t that good an OF either if you value defense.
  19. Old Red
    Start with $27.5M. $10M was deferred, which left $17.5M. Boston paid $17M of that, which left Atlanta with only $500,00 in actual cash value to pay in 2024 for a CY Young winner. What a sweet deal.
  20. Old Red
    Bregman was pretty much healthy last year, and even with the slow start it really wasn’t surprising where he ended up. I said when the Red Sox originally signed him that the three years was the right amount of time to be signed for.
  21. Old Red
    The feeble offense was what got the Red Sox to get 14 games under to begin with, and why they sputtered after the 32-5 run, which carried into the postseason.
  22. Old Red
    Yes that was at the end, but Breslow pissed Bregman off with the first contract offer he made to him, and then didn’t believe that Bregman had that contract offer from the Cubs. That was all explained out by AJ.
  23. Old Red
    All it cost Atlanta that year in actually cash value was $500,000 for Sale to win a CY for them.🤭
  24. Old Red
    I disagree some on if the Red Sox were serious about retaining Bregman. Your definition of serious, and Breslow’s definition of serious most likely are two different things. I think Breslow was pretty sure of himself, and found out he shouldn’t have been. Alonso signed a month before Bregman did, so he was off the table, and when Bregman went to Chicago Breslow spent most of Bregman’s money on Ranger. Not the plan, but, because of the plan.
  25. Old Red
    Exactly, and so would the Yankees.
