That’s what I keep saying when some keep bringing up JH spending patterns in the past. 2018 is not that long ago, but things have changed dramatically with that vast amount of money now being spent, and the amount of teams that is now willing to spend it. It’s not just the Red Sox, and Yankees bidding against each other anymore. JH it seems has been now been left behind, and the Red Sox have gone down with him. Not a good look to me, and i don’t think the Red Sox are looked at throughout MLB as they used to be.

I gave him credit for 4 WS championships, but all that good it will it seems has all been used up, and that’s pretty hard to do.
-
You actually think the brand that went on for 86 years before a title was won is the same as today? The comparisons aren’t even close to being the same? Wow! Despite 4 titles being won under JH tenure he is not very popular, and a marked man. I don’t ever recall it being like that before in my lifetime. 10+ candidates wouldn’t even interview for Bloom’s open job.

I think Bell as much as anyone is well aware what is going on.

Everyone is well aware what Henry is doing.

It’s not foreign to anyone. It’s also not foreign to anyone that it’s not working, and that all most fans care about.
-
Exactly, and you have to be awfully good at what you’re doing to make it work the cheaper way, and the Red Sox obviously haven’t been that good at trying to do it that way.

Was Bloom a step in the right direction? He had more money to play with in Boston than he did in Tampa. The big difference was Bloom was just one of the many nerds in Tampa, and tried to be the main nerd in Boston. When Boston has been successful they haven’t done it the Tampa way.

🙈🤭🙈.

Agree with this. Some on here are expecting all the hyped prospects to live up to that hype, and then everything will be alright, and talk about some kind of foundation. The foundation should have been Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy, and then pieces added to that.You should never give away years, because you will never get them back hoping for the Calvary to come that may not be as good as you hope for when they get there.
-
No one has even talked about trading the top three for just a RENTAL anyway.
-
Once again talking about a fire sale before the season even starts. What’s the sense in even playing🙈?
-
Oh no say it ain’t so.🙈
-
Boris will milk it for as long as he can to get as much as he can.
-
Maybe can’t find any takers?
-
Moon isn’t to reliable, and was wrong on Strohman.
-
The word is Monty wants to top Nola’s 7yr/$172, and Snell reportedly turned down 5yr/$150M from the Yankees, so where things end up, and with who will be interesting to see, and I don’t think there will be any bargains here. Someone will pay, but not JH.
-
And they won’t show up at Winter Weekend to face the music.
-
It wasn’t like they had their pick of the cream of the crop either when it came to Bres. I guess the rest of any potential candidates didn’t get Sam’s memo that Boston is the place that anyone would want to be.
-
🙈🤭🙈.
-
Cora is now the longest tenured coach/manager in Boston, but for how much longer.
-
5yrs/$150M was the reported Yankees offer to Snell.
-
Maybe they need more, because 4 doesn’t seem to be enough to make things better.
-
I read a post from a fan today who said they can understand a last place finish, but they can’t understand not trying to fix it.
-
If JH wants to cut payroll so bad maybe he should start with that doofus front office. I’m sure there is some weeding out that could be done there.
