Who’s to say the Sox would overpay? Mayer, or none of the others are no sure thing. Maybe it’s the other team that would overpay.
-
That’s why JH would be more inclined to want to do it.
-
I don’t blame him, because he doesn’t have his bodyguard Bloom to take the barbs for him this year.
-
As I’ve said right along I’ve been gong on the assumption that the Red Sox were not going to sign any of the top high priced FA, so what other options are there except to trade?
-
That’s what Bres, and all his minions get paid the big bucks for to find.
-
Now you’re finally getting it.
-
I get that, but I’ve said right along to trade top prospects for other teams top pitching prospects, and that Henry could be more inclined to go with since it would be just as cheap as to hang to a Mayer type.
-
Once again you don’t have to wait to be a contending team to make the team better. The longer you wait the more expensive it gets, and we know how JH likes that.
-
That’s awfully nice of you coming from a Bloom guy.
-
It wouldn’t be trading away any future that you are so worried about if you get some here, and now, and also some future coming back too.
-
I didn’t ask how the D could get better. I said if it doesn’t get better with the SP the team won’t get any better. It’s been discussed many times how the D could get better.
-
For the ones who didn’t think Dugy could play RF in Fenway he did a pretty good job last year. I don’t think he was overrated.
-
Mayer hasn’t come close to making it out of Portland yet.
-
Cora wasn’t the Manager in 2013. I was talking about Cora as the manager the Red Sox have finished last the last two years, and won in 2018 with a loaded team. If Cora leaves after this year I don’t see it would make that much difference.
-
-
Ah the Butterfly Man. How could anyone forget him, or Franchy in that 2022 lowlight film.
-
Except for on here, no one official has said the RAF Man is going to be the starting CF. I have seen the RAF Man make a couple of great catches in Portland, but can he hit good enough.
-
Exactly, and the RAF Man hasn’t proved he can even come close to hitting ML pitching yet, and Abreu doesn’t have that many AB yet to know what he can do.
-
Miles better? Judge might not hold up in CF, but it’s not that bad either.
-
I didn’t know Cora had announced any lineup yet. The is pure speculation that doesn’t turn out right very often. That’s why I’ll wait, and see who takes the field on March 28th.
-
The biggest problem the last two years has been the infield D, and not the outfield D. I’m not so sure about Abreu in RF either. Dugy was more than adequate out there last year. Raf Man isn’t guaranteed to start in CF either.
-
Yes I am, but I’m just saying if the SP, and D aren’t any better I can’t see the team getting any better. Unless Raffy, and Casas gets better on D, and Story stays healthy at SS then it all comes down to SP.
-
Yanks got Soto, and Dugy will help them too. Rays lost Glasgow, but they always manage to come up with pitching. The O’s signed Kimbrel, but I don’t know how much help he will be. What the Red will do as they stand now, or what they will look like on March 28 is anyone’s guess, but outside of the SP, and D getting better I can’t see the Sox getting any better.
-
Most of these guys worked out. The Red Sox don’t have that good a track record the last few years.
-
It didn’t work last year for SD, and the Mets, so 1 out of 3 isn’t all that good.
