    Story had a bad arm when he was signed by the Red Sox, and things have gone downhill from there. Bogey wasn’t worth the contract he got from SD, but he would have been worth a better contract from DD in the first place, so he might have had just another year, or two to run.
  2. Old Red
    Most have, but I was one of the few who kept preaching to wait until Mar 28 to see what the team looked like, and then to see what happened from there.
  3. Old Red
    Nothing can change the three losing last place in the division finishes under Bloom. Unfortunately the Red Sox did that.
  4. Old Red
    What’s up with the poster who yelled sham, sham, sham at the top of his lungs all offseason. Not hearing much on that front.
  5. Old Red
    I’m not talking about any rentals, and none of the big three May never turn out to be a Bagwell.
  6. Old Red
    I agree that I don’t think any big trades of a top prospect will be done at this deadline, but after this all bets should be off IMO.
  7. Old Red
    NOBODY should be untouchable if a trade makes the Red Sox better. You need to trade something good to get something good. Especially pitching.
  8. Old Red
    Agree with most, but I wouldn’t go so far on the brain trust. I’m not sold on Brez at all, but may change my mind in two weeks. Then again I might not. Watching that road very closely to see which direction they take.
  9. Old Red
    I don’t know if getting Brez was lucky, but more like addition by subtraction.
  10. Old Red
    That may have been part of it, but I think the Braves came to the Red Sox as they had been interested in Sale before, and made an offer of a suspect at a position the Red Sox had a need for. Supposedly Bloom had offers for Sale, but wouldn’t agree. Brez wanted Gio, and couldn’t quite afford both, and made the deal.
  11. Old Red
    Especially rich kids.
  12. Old Red
    Like I said before I think the Red Sox are just an old toy to him that isn’t as fun to play with anymore.
  13. Old Red
    I agree, but like I’ve been saying for the last few years is that this is not the same JH today as when he first bought the team. This is not the same JH that went to the Felger, and Mazz show ten years ago to defend the Way the Red Sox are being run, but is now the JH in an interview just the other day didn’t even want to talk about the Red Sox.
  14. Old Red
    Seriously? You don’t think JH cares about all that dead money that it would give him pause to spend anymore?
  15. Old Red
    Either way JH is shelling out $35M this year, and Nothing is going to change that.
  16. Old Red
    I haven’t heard anyone is happy with the high ticket prices, and not having a top ten payroll. As Max as pointed out many times though JH is shelling out a lot of dead money.
  17. Old Red
    Well said Max, and agree 100%. I’m sure JH is not happy about shelling out that $35M either.
  18. Old Red
    His portfolio is more important to him IMO. The Red Sox are just an old toy to him now.
  19. Old Red
    There is no way to know, but it’s possible that had been buyers the last two years instead of mostly sitting on the outside looking in the Red Sox May be in better shape today. Yes it’s also possible the other way also. No moves ever have to be just rentals like Flintstone Schwarber was.
  20. Old Red
    Exactly they spent. I’ve heard all along how the Red Sox saved $10M on Sale, which they did, but spent $18M on Gio, which I don’t know would have happened without that $10M being saved, but in the long run they ended up paying $35M for the two of them. That’s spending more money not saving.
  21. Old Red
    If the Red Sox hadn’t signed Gio I would agree, but signing Gio for $18M did not save any money, and still paying $17M for Sale is $35M for the two of them. Now if JH said $45M was too much to keep Sale too, but $35M was OK that’s on him, but I doubt this at all. This was a Brez deal to me. Either way JH is shelling out $35M, and that’s not saving any money. Remember Brez was the 12th pick in the 2024 HOBO draft, and hasn’t proven anything to this point.
  22. Old Red
    Chris Sale finished up the pre AS break part of the season on a winning note raising his record to 13-3, which is the Most wins in MLB for ones who count such things, and the rest of the stats aren’t bad either. 110 IP pitched, 81 hits allowed, and 140 K’s. The Braves are reaping the benefits of this not to mention that the Red Sox are footing the entire bill for this year, and all the Braves have to do is kick back, and watch. What a deal!
  23. Old Red
    The Dodgers haven’t been playing that good of ball 3-8 of their last 11. Mookie is still out, and they are missing a good part of their starting rotation on the IL. The schedule will get tougher though through the end of August. Looking good on July 14th, but Sept 1 will be the real telltale on where they are, and how good they are.
  24. Old Red
    Unlike you who cried Sham, sham, sham all offseason.
  25. Old Red
    BIG Baby Bello has been knocked around all afternoon. Luckily only 3 runs so far.
