Old Red

Nobody said anything about it not being a separate pool of money. I said he has a lot more interest now than he did before like the latest PGA adventure.

Yes I’m sure JH would have given Bogey $280M if no CBT implications were there.

I keep trying to get across that JH is not the same guy as when he bought the Red Sox, and has a lot more interest now. His latest is The PGA.

Because they won’t compete money wise.The Red Sox got their prize in Yoshida where they outbid everyone else by a large margin so much so that Boris shut things down the first day, which had never been done before. The Red Sox will not outbid any of the big spenders for the Yam Man no matter how much you wish it come true.

It’s amazing that you guys keep talking about spending in the past. What has changed is that the mountain has gotten a lot higher, and there are more people on it.

The field has gotten a lot bigger, and the price has gotten a lot higher now than Anything the Red Sox have done in the past. The past has no revelation of what’s going on today.

So out of the Dodgers, Mets, and Yankees, which one of those teams are the Red Sox going to outbid?

Are you really comparing the Rangers to the Dodgers? The poll I heard was very clear, and the Red Sox did not win out. I wonder why.

How has it changed the last two weeks? His asking price has gone up, and more than just a little.🙈

He wasn’t that impressive when he was in a Yankee uniform either.

E-Rod would have been the reasonable deal after the 2021 season when he was two years younger. I hope Bres isn’t looking for that third option in the fork in the road too. It could be a Yale thing.

I thought it would be more of a Gene BRAbender guy.

His new favorite word. The Sham.

You still don’t get it at all. Spoiled? How does not liking finishing in last place 3 out of the last 4 years being spoiled? I’ll answer it for you it isn’t. Red Sox fans don’t expect a WS title every year, but they do expect a winning, competitive team every year. You still don’t get it either it’s what have you done for me lately, and the future is now. Just, because the Red Sox have won 4 WS under JH tenure does not give him a free pass for ANY last place finishes, nor does it give him a free pass to trade away a popular future HOF in the prime of his career. Like it, or not JH is not a popular owner, and it won’t change until the Red Sox become respectable again, and win more than they lose, and get into the postseason, and not some organization that HOBO candidates one after another turn down the Red Sox for even a interview. The fan base has all sorts of reasons to be angry, and not all of them by a long shot has seen all the heartbreaks of the many years before JH owned the team, so none of that matters to them. The fans are always something to you from crybabies, and spoiled to many others. You just don’t get it, but hey maybe the Red Sox will be winners again in 2027.

I hear weirder stuff on here from as usual a very small minority.

2020 was tainted l but I’d take our 4 championship years, and the rest would be the Dodgers years.

I heard a poll today, which was what team would you want to be the last 10 years.the Dodgers with 1 WS title, or the Red Sox with 2 WS titles, but all those last place finishes. You guessed it the the Dodgers won, because they were more competitive for those 10 years every year. Not what you would have picked I know.

Gray at 34 had never been paid more than $10M/yr, and now he’s worth $25M/yr? Is he that much better, or is he now just available, and there is a need?

🙈🤭🙈.

You’re on the assumption we sign 2-3 SP, and I do not. I’ve been saying right along that trades are going to have to be made to get the pitching. Gray was overpaid at $25M, and Monty, and Snell will be too. Not, because they are so good, but, because they are available, and there are a big need out there for many teams, and some of hem are big spenders. Making trades may be the best option, and yes that ,ay come down to trading one, or two of those precious top prospects.

The amount of money has gone up big time just the past few years. Would Bogey have gotten $280M even 5 years ago? There are more big spenders now than ever before, and I don’t think JH wants to play that game with them, so what JH has done before in no way is a sign of what he will do today. The game has changed, and i don’t think JH has changed with it.

He won’t have the pressure in NY as he had in Boston, but he’ll be on a contract year, so it would be to his benefit if he wants to get paid better down the road. I think he’ll want to show up the Red Sox too.

Putting off moves to make the team better now makes NO SENSE whatsoever. If the team doesn’t get better now it won’t matter come deadline time.

We have no other option, but to wait to see how things shake out, but it would be nice if more was done than what’s been done already. Things should start to pick up after the Yam Man signs.
