    I agree. Getting Brez to pay $17M has worked out pretty well for the Braves.
  2. Old Red
    Atlanta was interested in Sale last year, and it was probably them who contacted the Red Sox this past offseason, and not the other way around. I agree that they don’t think there is any big surprise to the Braves that Sale is pitching this well in a Braves uniform. Maybe all Sale needed was to get away from that bad injury juju that seems to be hanging over Boston the past few years.

    It’s all DD fault. Bad resigning from Day 1.
  4. Old Red
    HR’s are flying out of the ballparks at great distances, and alarming rates mostly off Bailey’s philosophy of breaking balls, and off speed pitches, and that has been killing the Red Sox.
  5. Old Red
    And with the 12th pick in the 2024 HOBO draft the Red Sox select Brez.
  6. Old Red
    If the Red Sox had Eflin they wouldn’t need the pen as much. It looks like Brez didn’t help that horrible looking pen much either, so I agree with you on that.
  7. Old Red
    The O’s picked up Eflin, and Brez picked up Paxton, and maybe Hill. The O’s were in the passing lane, and Brez was in the breakdown lane picking up hitchhikers.

    Anything that gets rid of the stupid opener is a good idea to me.

    April was no shock. It was a sham, sham,sham.
  10. Old Red
    I’m not wondering at all if last nights loss took the wind out of anyone’s sail. Gee!🤭🙈
  11. Old Red
    I understand that, but MOOn keeps saying the Red Sox didn’t spend the $10M saved from Sale, and I believe they did, and then some.
  12. Old Red
    Cora’s not listening, because the RAF Man is back at SS tonight.
  13. Old Red
    Because you, and others keep showing what I have posted before that I’m not disputing, or claiming hindsight. It works both ways.
  14. Old Red
    You still don’t get that the Red Sox spent the $10M saved on Sale on Gio, and spent $35M together instead of $27M on Sale.
  15. Old Red
    All that really matters right now is how things have turned out, and I still don’t like the Red Sox paying Atlanta $17M for a suspect, and I bet JH doesn’t either. I’m not claiming hindsight at all , but just how things have turned out.
  16. Old Red
    There were all kinds of rumors out there last offseason on this one, and that one being traded. None were.
  17. Old Red
    Not in Atlanta.
  18. Old Red
    Yes, and I don’t take back any of those especially that I would have Never given Sale the extension that DD did in the first place, and I said it when it happened.The big thing in all of this Sale stuff now is the way it’s turned out, and as usual the Red Sox could have used Sale this year pitching like he has.
  19. Old Red
    Wink is not the same pitcher as he was a year ago, but he should be better than last night.
  20. Old Red
    I wasn’t questioning Cora, but only asking on why he only threw 4 pitches, and didn’t come back out. I know every pitch thrown either in the BP,, or warming up between innings all add up, but Martin was the best option for the 9th.
  21. Old Red
    It doesn’t matter how many outs as much as how many pitches are thrown.
  22. Old Red
    That’s the question I asked last night on if Martin could only throw 4 pitches?
  23. Old Red
    And the Braves are thanking the Red Sox 17M times over for not doing it. And as things have turned out A win for the Braves, and a loss in more ways than one for the Red Sox.
  24. Old Red
    One can’t argue that payroll was cut. They may have saved $10M on what they are paying Sale, but Gio might not have been signed if they didn’t. Sale would have cost $27M, but still paying Sale $17M, and paying Gio $18M does not add up to any savings to me.
  25. Old Red
    And for good reason. Things couldn’t have gone any more wrong for the Red Sox even if the Red Sox had planned it that way. Sale is a CY Young candidate pitching for another team that the Red Sox are paying him $17M to do so. Gio was signed, and hasn’t pitched 1 inning this year, and the Red Sox are paying him $18M not to do so. Then we get to Grissom who so far has been MIA both on, and off the field.🙈🤭
