Teoscar to the Dodgers. Another one got away. 1yr $23.5M.
-
I’ve been clamoring for both to stay in the BP the last two years. They were cheap options for the starting rotation.
-
🙈🤭🤮!
-
Bloom probably didn’t tell Cora to keep Kike at SS either.
-
Schwaber got a standing O for making a routine play. Better than Franchy, but not a 1B.
-
The lack of defenders who can field is kind of like having to play the bad cards you were dealt. Players playing out of positions is just bad roster building.
-
Well said. Like I’ve been saying since the FA season started. The hype on starting pitching seems to be, because they are available, and teams are in need more so than the pitches are really that good, and that is driving up the price.
-
Who would have thunk it?
-
While you keep dreaming abut the future anywhere from now until 2026, or beyond the most important here, and now just keeps passing by. What a waste, because you’ll never get it back.🙈
-
The team core should have been Mookie, Bogey, and Raffy, and pieces should have been added to that. None of the so called future now may never add up to these three.
-
This I pretty much agree with. Yes Snell has won two CY. Somebody has to win them, but in between his two CY he hasn’t been all that great. Monty finished 2nd in CY voting, and someone has to do that too. Monty is more sought after now, because he had a good stretch at the end of the season, and into the postseason, and now he’s available. He wasn’t as highly thought of up until then. I have said before both Snell, and Monty would help the Red Sox, but it’s just a question are the worth the length, and cost . I don’t label pitchers, so I don’t get into Ace, or #1 talk. Snell, and Monty are the best available, but that doesn’t mean they are as good as the hype, or what hey will end up with for a contract.
-
Their guy? He was just one of the nerds in the nerd room, and wasn’t a front guy, and shouldn’t have been one here either.🙈
-
I mentioned this before that Jeff Bagwell, and Craig Biggio non doctors said that Story would need surgery on that elbow at some point, and it eventually did happen of course after he got to Boston. If there wasn’t a red flag on Story there should have been one. Bad signing it was.
-
And all the while keep paying the rising ticket that seem to rise every year when the results don’t. Like I’ve said before one poster on here would be content as long as the future looked bright it would be alright if the team didn’t go so called all in, and produce until 2035, or 2036. Astonishing.
-
Great follow up!
-
Agree, and I’ve been saying that for two years that the here, and now is what’s most important, and that promising future that some keep dreaming about on here may turn out to be nothing, but a bad, bad dream.
-
Agree 100% that you don’t have to wait until the team is good to invest in good pitching. Look how much pitching has gone up in the last few years including this one. Gray got $25M this year at 34 years old when he had never made more than $10M before. Snell, and Monty will end up with handsome paydays too. I’m sure Monty could have been gotten a lot cheaper two years ago then he will end up now. Keep putting off making the rotation better, and the team won’t get better, and then you’re also waisting away Raffy’s prime years too. Wait until 26, 27, 2028 or whatever to go the so called all in is just unacceptable.
-
I’ve been saying all offseason to let’s see what the 26 man looks like on March 28.
-
If rumors were actualities the Red Sox would a whole different team right now, but they are not, and the Red Sox don’t have a whole different team.🤭
-
The Royals have come out, and said they are going for the Div as weak as it is. Outside of Tom saying full throttle have the Red Sox said what they are going for?
-
Once again all these other Div teams don’t have to do as much as the Red Sox do. They have all finished ahead of the Red Sox the last two years. I’m glad the Yankees haven’t done anything to improve. I guess Soto doesn’t count. Dugy will help them too.
-
Ah, answering my post again though someone else again, which you said you wouldn’t do. That’s a sham. Not losing last place means nothing, but a a losing last place in a Div team means everything.
-
I’m not that confident, but I guess I’m not as bummed out as some, because I didn’t think the Red Sox would sign any of the top high priced FA anyway. It there was a sham it was meeting with the Yam Man. They didn’t get a second meeting like the Yankees, and Mets did.
-
The thing I don’t get if the budget is so tight, and the Red Sox are just going to putter around why spend $19M on Gio?
-
Other teams are not losing last place in the Div teams, and don’t have as much work to do either.🙈🤭. THAT’S not a lie.
