    We’ve gone through this many times that is what Slow Mo gets paid for to do. Unlike you I don’t predict, and speculate, and get it wrong every time like you do. Remember when you said the Red Sox couldn’t do Any Better than Kike for $10M? I have said repeatedly I want to trade some Red Sox position suspects, for some other team’s pitching suspects, and that would be up to Slow Mo to find them, and do it. I don’t really care if you like generalities, or not, or a non detailed plan.

    I’m not upset at all in JH not opening his checkbook for any of these over priced FA this year at all, and I agree with not doing it.

    You can use BTV all you want, but to me it’s useless. Difference of option. I’ll ask again when has a BTV suggested trade for the Red Sox happened on here? Like I keep saying that BTV, and speculations for the Red Sox have led to nothing but pouting, and shouting, and long faces. That doesn’t sound like much fun to me, but different strokes for different folks. For me my speculations have pretty much played out so far, so I’m just sitting back relaxing, and taking everything in. Did you hear the Red Sox had a meeting with the Yam Man? I guess they just wanted to meet him.

    Monty, and Snell are the two best FA available, but just, because they are available I don’t think are WORTH all the fuss, and bother.

    You guys keep bringing up Burnes like he’s the only pitcher out there that could come in a trade, so once again you guys are really limiting things. It’s like last year when I was told by more than 1 poster on here that the Red Sox couldn’t do better with $10M than Kike. I’ve said all along I want some young pitching in a trade with some control of years left. I don’t know who is out there, but that’s what Slow Mo gets paid the big Buck for.

    And for some not just a higher payroll, but a lot higher payroll, and that’s why I keep saying that things have changed just in the last 5 years, and I don’t know if JH will keep up with the change.
  7. Old Red
    Not arguing that, but it doesn’t sound like the Red Sox are going to meet his asking price, and i won’t blame them for that at all.
  8. Old Red
    And on the other side there are a lot more teams now then there used to be spending more, and more, which is not a good sign either.
  9. Old Red
    If those were your only 2 options I would agree, but that’s really limiting yourself if your the Red Sox.

    And like I keep saying that this is not the same JH that bought the ball club, so what he has done in the past has NOTHING to do with what he does now. It’s a lot different ballgame today then even 5 years ago, so when I keep hearing what JH did in the past has no relevance now, but keep thinking it does if it makes you feel better, and keep watching other clubs keep passing you by.

    Speculate all you want, but it doesn’t sound like anyone is having any fun with all the pouting, and shouting over the current state of the Red Sox, because of any , or not any speculative movements of the team up to this point.
  12. Old Red
    BTV is as useless as the speculation on here. I’m sure the scouting report on Duran is based off BTV. As for speculation, which runs rampant on here like some even speculating that the Yam Man would be in the Red Sox rotation.🙈. Of course we can never forget the speculation of all the BTV suggested trades for the Red Sox on here that never happen either, but fear not as your speculation is last to none.
  13. Old Red
    The main point was they didn’t spend up to the CBT, and all the money you mentioned was not all money added , but replacement money like for Bogey, JD, and Nate. You have always speculated they would Spend up to the CBT.

    Relax it just takes CraigSLOW a while to get there. Look how long it took him to name a pitching coach even though he’d been mentioned weeks before. Still got weeks to go before ST starts.

    I think Cora had a voice, and a hand in getting Bloom fired, but I don’t know how much voice he has now in the team’s direction. No one knows what roll he was offered in the front office like it isn’t crowded enough already. That might have changed since Breslow was hired also.
  16. Old Red
    All 3 of these means completely absolutely nothing. Once again outside of on here who in the Red Sox organization said the Red Sox went under the CBT to reset so they could go back over?🙈
  17. Old Red
    Outside of on here who said the Red Sox had money to play with? I asked a year ago when one poster on here kept saying how much money the Red Sox had to spend,and I asked the question then on who in the Red Sox organization said they would spend up to the CBT. They didn’t.
  18. Old Red
    The market has changed big time in the past few years, and it’s a whole lot different game now. Did anyone ever think Bogey would get $280M last year.
  19. Old Red
    True enough, and this is the worst time to be so in need of SP with so many help wanted signs out there throughout MLB.
  20. Old Red
    It took awhile for the Yam Man to be wined, and dined, and now it’s Snell’s, and Monty’s turn to see how much they can get out of some needy owner not named JH.
  21. Old Red
    I don’t know if it’s exactly waiting things out, and hopefully things will pick up after Snell, and Monty signs.
  22. Old Red
    Don’t get me wrong I’m well aware of the 78 win seasons, and I don’t have much, or little confidence in JH down to baseball ops to put together any kind of juggernaut, but I just can’t believe nothing will get done to improve the team. I’ve said from the beginning of FA that I Never expected the Red Sox to sign any of the high priced FA anyway, and that was even before the prices went up, so to me the team has done, or hasn’t done pretty much what i expected at this point. It seems lot of fans on here, and everywhere expected the Red Sox to do a lot more at this point, and that’s where the current anguish, and suffering comes in. Wishing, and hoping is not going to make JH do something, so I don’t bother.

    Last time I checked next season doesn’t start until March 28 in Seattle, which is pretty much 3 months away. I know the Red Sox have done pretty much squat to improve the team up to this point, but all this woe is me attitude on here is just cracking me up. Do you really think what the roster looks like right now will be the same roster that takes the field in Seattle? You guys can keep on shouting and pouting all you want if it makes you feel better, but I’ll wait to March 28 to see what things look like.

    I hope the Dodgers go 162-0 next year, and then lose in the first round of the playoffs.

    An always packed tourist trap.
