    I not so sure about that. The Red Sox might of wanted Marte, but the price in terms of pieces, or money was out from what they wanted to pay, and that’s why the Red Sox Settled on the Much cheaper option In Durbin.
  2. Old Red
    Either way having Masa on the roster, or not is not going to make, or break the Red Sox season. If he was going to get regular AB I’d agree with you about keeping him, but I don’t see it, and if not he’s just clogging up a roster spot, and I mean clogging up.
  3. Old Red
    Every game counts once the season starts whether it’s in March, April, or any other time.

    The rush is right now. Where is Masa going to get AB if he’s on the roster as it stands now? There are only 2 bench spots open, and someone who as it stands now being only a Backup DH shouldn’t get one of them IMO. Eaton can play multiple positions, which Masa can’t do, and especially if Romy is out most likely would get more chances than Masa will get. Not being able to undue the loss of Masa is not even a minor concern to me.

    I get that, but I was just saying that an injury, or two could change the need for another IF that isn’t there now.
  6. Old Red
    Especially if Chapman doesn’t come close to what he was last year, and, or Whit, or Slaten goes down.
  7. Old Red
    I agree especially since there isn’t the need there was before the Durbin trade. Of course an injury, or two could change all of that.
  8. Old Red
    It sounds like Cora is keeping a close eye on Mayer that’s for sure.
  9. Old Red
    How about Bloom?🤔
  10. Old Red
    I would think KC would be playing everyday.
  11. Old Red
    I think teams already know what Masa can, and can not do, so I don’t think the WBC showing will have any effect either way.
  12. Old Red
    I don’t see that happening, but I’m not so sure the Red Sox are that confident at this point in Mayer either. Durbin is still a cheaper option also.
  13. Old Red
    Wishing/thinking the results are both the same, so continuing to differentiate doesn’t change a thing. You trade an outfielder, and then are left with 3, and if one goes down what have you got as a replacement the highly suspect KC? Like I keep saying Abreu hasn’t proven he can hit LHP yet, and prove he’s a full time player as it is, so I don’t see the outfield as being so deep that it’s roster problem.
  14. Old Red
    A better workable roster with more options.
  15. Old Red
    Who are the Red Sox going to trade ahead of Masa. I know the talk has been the Red Sox have 4 outfielders, and one has to DH, but 3 of them 4 are LHB, and Abreu hasn’t proven he’s an everyday player. I don’t see any outfielders at this point being traded. I don’t think Romy being healthy, or not have any bearing on Masa, but more so on Mayer.
  16. Old Red
    Even if Masa is on the team as it stands now with one of the outfielders being the DH I don’t see where he would get AB.
  17. Old Red
    You’ve got 4 bench spots. Wong, and IKF will get two of them. Do you want to tie up one of the remaining spots with a backup DH like Masa?
  18. Old Red
    Thanks for the kind words, but I don’t have to do that with you, because you do it all on your own. Just like all the times you said you wasn’t apologizing, or defending Bloom, JH, or #12 when you really was. Great job, and keep up the good work.👏
  19. Old Red
    And yet he doesn’t have a position, or a spot to get AB.🤭
  20. Old Red
    I think the perception is that the Red Sox have 4 full time outfielders at present time, and that hasn’t been proven yet especially with Abreu, and if he’s not another LHB like Masa doesn’t help that situation where another RHB would, and that is why Masa can be in the way.
  21. Old Red
    Versatility is fine, and that’s what you have guys like Romy, Sogard, and the IKF types for. KC in my opinion just isn’t one of those guys IMO. KC is still nothing, but a suspect at this time, and a work in progress.
  22. Old Red
    Can, not will, or even should doesn’t really change anything just like suggestions, opinions, or predictions differentiating doesn’t change anything.
  23. Old Red
    You’re right. I forgot when the Kut Man, and Houck got hurt.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t think at the time there was a good reason not to sign Betts in most people’s eyes. You know I’m like you when it comes to huge, and long contracts, but I think most Red Sox fans wanted hm signed. He was a great player in the prime of his career. One poster on here would have given him 14 years. The Red Sox were trying to sign Mookie before he became a FA, and there was nothing wrong with that. It didn’t work out. It doesn’t look as bad now as he’s nearing 34.
  25. Old Red
    I agree on depth, but versatility doesn’t necessarily mean it’s all good like all the 2B/1B the Red Sox went through the past two years.
