    Sale got out from under the bad injury juju that has enveloped Boston the past few years that has bitten Story since he’s been here, and got Gio last year. I don’t think ANYONE is saying nobody has ever had a bounce back year in Boston.
  2. Old Red
    Bogey already had a long resume, and had won two championships with the Red Sox when he signed while Cro Man doesn’t have much of a resume at all.
  3. Old Red
    I agree that locking Bogey long term would not have been worth it long term.
  4. Old Red
    I agree on Masa not doing much of a sniff in the OF unless he’s still looking for that ball that got stuck in that lightbulb in the wall.
  5. Old Red
    Like Sale they would probably have to play for someone else.
  6. Old Red
    🙈🤭🤫.

    I don’t believe Lester was asking for big money, and no one knows what Bogey would have taken if offered something earlier than becoming a FA. Mookie was a whole different story.
  8. Old Red
    Something will get done IMO, but most likely with an opt-out, which won’t be for as long as most on here will like.
  9. Old Red
    I said that at the time of the trade that he may only be here for 1.5 yrs. Right now the Red Sox are haggling over$.5M with Duran, which isn’t a good sign either.
  10. Old Red
    Like I said yesterday the Red Sox wouldn’t pay Lester, Bogey, or Mookie ALl had contributed to WS championship teams, and Cro Man’s resume whatever little there is of it doesn’t warrant at this point the sky’s the limit IMO.
  11. Old Red
    I’m sure the Red Sox are trying to hammer out a deal for the Cro Man, and something most likely will get done, but I’m not so sure the Red Sox are All in, and in a whatever it takes opinion to get it done.
  12. Old Red
    Trading some suspects is not trading the world IMO. Trading Mookie was trading the world. I’m sure the Red Sox want, and have wanted lots of players, but they just didn’t want to, or couldn’t outbid the big heavy spenders. I’ve said for the last two years the Red Sox would have to trade some suspects to get any good pitching, and they traded some. They may have to trade even more. It’s not the end of the world, and these suspects most likely aren’t all going to live up to all the hype either.

    Over/Under on how many innings Yoshida plays in the OF this year for the Red Sox, or anyone else?
  14. Old Red
    Cro Man is already set at $3.8M this year, and with a Cy Young type year next year his arbitration payment payment may go up to somewhere around $15M. I’ve seen some suggestions on here of starting Crochet out with $20M+ for those two years. 219 career innings pitched, and only 146 as a starter is not much of a resume to me to just throw out $150M-$200M long term contracts. Yes he has good stuff, but to me he would have to prove more to just throw all this money at him. The Red Sox didn’t pay Lester, Bogey, or Mookie all who not only proven track records, but proven track records in a Red Sox uniform, and all won Championships some more than one. We’ll see where JH, and Brez go with this..
  15. Old Red
    The only projections I care about right now for Crochet is making 35 starts, and 175+ innings pitched.
  16. Old Red
    I’d rather have Vlad at that price.
  17. Old Red
    Well it’s all in Brez’s hand now, so we’ll just have to wait, and see what they come up with. It will also be interesting to see what Detroit does with Skubal.
  18. Old Red
    No doubt he has good stuff, but I need to see more than 32 career starts, and 146 career innings as a starter, before I’d offer him any long term 6 figure contracts, and to dub him dang good.
  19. Old Red
    I’m not the one who brought Bello into the conversation.
  20. Old Red
    I get what you’re trying to say, but Crochet has only pitched 219 innings so far in his career, so to me that’s to few innings to say if he’s a good pitcher, or a really good pitcher. Bello got nowhere near the contract being suggested for Crochet. Skubal had a great year, and won the CY Young this past year, but I’d want to see him have another good year this year, before offering him the moon. Supposedly Cro Man’s people gave teams parameters before any deals for the Cro Man was made , so if that’s the case Brez has an idea what it will take.
  21. Old Red
    I ask you the question I did before. What’s the comp out there for someone his age, and lack of much of a resume to get a contract that you, an others are suggesting? I’m not for overpaying someone just because we gave up some high ranked suspects. Only time will tell on what was the right way to do this, and what Brez will end up doing.
  22. Old Red
    Low bar.
  23. Old Red
    Sounds good, but how much are you going to pay this guy?
  24. Old Red
    Not even close. I’m talking about a comp that someone got that is close to what some on here are talking about that Cro Man should get.
  25. Old Red
    Two things for me. One is the way the injury juju has affected the Red Sox the past few years. Sale leaves, and he’s injury free pretty much all season. Two is that Cro Man is so untested with only this past season pitching over 100 innings. I know the stuff is there, but I would want to see more of a track record before I dished out a big long term contract. Pitching in Chicago is a lot different than in Boston too. Yes we gave up some suspects, but like I’ve always said suspects aren’t worth anything until they produce in a Red Sox uniform, or are traded for someone who does. However it works out I don’t see any long term contract without an opt-out attached.
