    Yes it’s the ole bad team-mate theory, and one even brought up Mookie as some kind of comp, because he can, and is willing to play other positions. A pretty BAD comp it is seeing as Mookie is a far superior athlete than Raffy is, and could play just about anywhere, and may be a better bowler than baseball player.🤭

    We’ve already gone over this 100’s of times already. If Romy is a better fielder at 1B than Raffy, and a lesser hitter would be at DH then NO I don’t even fathom, or see the benefit of Raffy playing 1B, and most importantly I don’t think Cora did either. We’ve also already gone over that SF already have a good 3B, so Raffy would not play there anyway, so it doesn’t mean much, or NOTHING at all. I definitely do not see that Raffy did anything wrong at all in telling Brez to do his job under these circumstances. He saw 11 different 2B parade through there in 2024, and all the tryouts they had gone through at 1B, so to me Raffy was more than justified in telling Brez to do his job, and Cora most likely wanted to do the same thing.

    To this day I still don’t see how moving Devers to 1B would have benefited the Red Sox, and especially under the circumstances that Devers hadn’t even played in the field, which made it even less sensible to try it at that time during the season. Raffy most likely wouldn’t have been as good as Romy at 1B, and then whomever got put at DH WOULDN’T have been as good as Raffy, so I don’t see it at all, and I don’t think Cora did either, so not only 99% on Brez, but a bad idea all the way around, and some call Raffy a bad teammate for that.

    Cora said in an interview shown on NESN that he had not talked to Raffy about playing 1B, and said he wasn’t going to, so that’s not questionable at all, and if he didn’t do it, because he thought it was a bad idea, and wouldn’t help the team then I see nothing wrong with that at all despite what Brez said. Cora knew Raffy better than anyone, and it wouldn’t have surprised me at all that Cora wanted to tell Brez the same thing Raffy did to do his job, and find someone.

    Good summation, and if you mean Brez was 99% responsible for the Devers fiasco as partially then I agree, because I will say that Brez did Botch/Bungled the Raffy situation from beginning to end, and all for a one, and done, and $40M.

    No one wants Masa, and I don’t believe Duran will be traded unless it’s for something bigger than that.
  7. Old Red
    I agree on all.👏
  8. Old Red
    Didn’t Brez say he wanted to add a big bat? That I believe was also along with the idea that they resigned Bregman. Has that been accomplished?
  9. Old Red
    No,No, and No on all accounts from both teams.
  10. Old Red
    He hasn’t proven he can last a full year, and that’s a BIG issue.
  11. Old Red
    It’s true all great young players were once suspects, but all suspects don’t become great, or even good players.
  12. Old Red
    When he stops getting hurt, and develops into a decent, or good player I’ll stop saying it.
  13. Old Red
    The time he’s missed too was valuable developmental time.
  14. Old Red
    Kind of misleading. It took Story 3 seasons to play 1 season, before last year.
  15. Old Red
    Good points, and Mayer still hasn’t proven he much more than a suspect yet.

    How many times can you fit the word BOTCH in a post, which is a word you are so hung up on. I’ve heard all kinds of words used describing the Bregman situation not only on here, but other venues, and actually talking to people. Botched, BUNGLED, F——- up, s*** Show, messed up, Butchered, Misread The Room, and my favorite played GO FISH just to name a few, and what is the common denominator associated with all of these yes it’s #12 Brez. That’s what so many other people are saying, or have said, and you don’t agree with them, and you don’t have to, but they don’t agree with you, and they don’t have to either. That’s how it works like it, or not. You can say you are not defending till the cows come home, but it’s not going to change a thing. Brez had a solid year to put something together, and it failed, and that it failed good, or bad is a FACT.👋

    There is NO last time with you, you do have a position, and you are defending something, and you are the only one who doesn’t see it.🙈🤭🤮
  18. Old Red
    Nico would be a one, and done. You really want to trade for that?
  19. Old Red
    Yes a certain poster still calls him Flintstone. Of course like yourself nobody knew why. It WAS NOT something bad as I think it was thought to be.
  20. Old Red
    I think you’re right in that what the Red Sox are waiting to do they are waiting for the price to go down.
  21. Old Red
    The Red Sox have said they would rather he play 3B.
  22. Old Red
    That’s the thing" Everyone has penciled in Mayer at 3B/2B and that position will be fine, but he hasn’t proven his bat is that good. If it’s just fine that’s a step down at 3B.
  23. Old Red
    My favorite comment was that Brez played GO FISH when others played HOLD EM.
  24. Old Red
    I think they would have been fine with the original deal of 3 years.
  25. Old Red
    One on here thinks the Red Sox didn’t really want to sign Bregman. IDK for sure.
