    It always amazes me when different people can look at the same situation, and read it completely differently. I do it myself. Also to see different things to fit their narrative, and can go to different lengths to do so like players speaking up, or not speaking up. I could be completely wrong about all this, but everyone seems to have an opinion, and I know mine is in the vast minority. Casas spoke up, and most likely got reprimanded, and maybe no one else dared to speak up. Then again you may be right that no one was going to miss him. Could be one, or both ways at the same time.

    Did you expect one? There are a lot of young players on the team. Bregman just got there, and took Raffy’s job, and Story hadn’t been much involved the past few years, so who was going to speak up. Casas spoke up, and got talked to about it, so it doesn’t surprise me at all that no one spoke up, and doesn’t really mean anything IMO.
  3. Old Red
    Being immature by Raffy I agree with, but that doesn’t make Raffy a bad person. On the other hand Brez didn’t come across as to good either, and the whole situation was embarrassing to the team, and i don’t think that impressed anyone including JH.

    I don’t think, and definitely not sure there was any discussion whatsoever between Cora, and Bogey about Bogey moving off SS to accommodate Story. Cora is pretty loyal to his players, and especially Bogey, and Bogey was the Red Sox SS, and i wouldn’t blame Bogey one bit for not even wanting to move to another position for an outsider. No discussion whatsoever IMO.

    100%đź‘Ťđź‘Ťđź‘Ť.

    It was a personality clash between Raffy, and Brez, and Brez didn’t like Raffy telling him to do his job, and I don’t think there was anymore to it than that.

    I was never a Devers Forever guy, but I’ve been on Dever’s side in this whole saga.
  8. Old Red
    I should have said many times.🤓
  9. Old Red
    Who was Bogey asked by to move to 3B after the Story signing? A reporter? Cora? Cora is the only one that would have mattered.
  10. Old Red
    Pure Soap Opera that’s for sure.
  11. Old Red
    Or think they know. Being in a contract year might have been a motivation also. It certainly turned out better than expected that’s for sure.
  12. Old Red
    But there were so many on here that shouted Devers Forevers, Devers Forever, Devers Forever!🤔
  13. Old Red
    Story had trouble throwing from SS, so i wouldn’t even contemplate moving Story to 3B, nor to I think the Red Sox will either. 2B to me is where he would be more suited for. I also hope DHam isn’t even being considered for a backup.
  14. Old Red
    That’s a pretty low bar.
  15. Old Red
    Who plays 3B? TBD. Who plays SS? TBD. Who plays 2B? TBD. Who plays 1B? TBD. Who is the DH? TBD. Seems like there is lots of TBD as it stands right now for 2026.
  16. Old Red
    TBD. No was my answer.
  17. Old Red
    Where have we heard the Red Sox need SP, and better D before?🤔
  18. Old Red
    No! He can’t throw well enough at SS as it is. 2B would be the best fit.
  19. Old Red
    I have based my opinion all along on the Raffy situation that Cora didn’t want Raffy at 1B, and didn’t think he would be a good 1B, and that is why to my knowledge that Cora never asked Raffy to play 1B, and said he wasn’t going to. If Cora would have told Raffy to play 1B, and Raffy had the same stance as he did with Brez I would have changed my opinion to what most on here have said about Raffy.
  20. Old Red
    Because they thought that Bogey should move to 2B, because Story who had just signed was a better SS even though I never heard of Cora talk about it.
  21. Old Red
    It did happen x2 that I remember. I won’t mention any names, but they can talk for themselves if they want to.
  22. Old Red
    Agree 100%, and that’s why i don’t want to see Mayer moved to 3B if Bregman leaves.
  23. Old Red
    Bogey was called a bad teammate on here too.
  24. Old Red
    Good one. Story doesn’t have the standing with the club that Raffy had. Story might not like it, but Rico, Hoffman, and Johnny V moved to 3B, and the Rooster moved to 2B.
  25. Old Red
    One interesting discussion I heard on the airwaves this morning is if Bregman walks he was a one year rental that pushed Raffy out the door, and now you have neither one. Most of the talk was unfavorable to Brez, which is so differently than what’s been mostly said on here. There was not much at fault with Cora either.
