    Yea you’re probably right when Cora had his meeting at the end of the year with JH, and Tom when they told him as he said he was safe to come back as manager next year, and he told them he was not ready to move in to the FO that Cora said he would only come back next year only under one condition, and that was only if his good buddy Bloom was coming back too.🙈🤭🤫.

    I don’t have a dollar amount, but I just don’t see the Red Sox spending upwards of $300M for Yam, or even a lot more than that for Soto, or O. Snell, Monty, or Nola would definitely be an improvement, but i wouldn’t necessarily call them big if only, because they are FA.Monty, and Snell turn 31 next month, and Nola is 30. 6 years through their mid 30’s could be more expensive, because of the number of teams needing pitching. I would rather see some trades for some younger pitching myself whatever is out there even if it takes some prospects.

    I’m not say there will not be moves, but just not of the Soto, Big O, or Yam types. To much competition, which will lead to to much money would have to be spent.

    I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade, but I’m not expecting any big signings. I don’t believe there will be any trade for Soto, or signing The Big O, or the big Yam either. Montgomery would be a good addition, but i wouldn’t call that a big signing, or signing an ace. He’s bounced around quite a bit the past few years, so the Yankees, or the Cardinals didn’t keep him either. Hope I’m shocked, but I’m not counting on it.

    The projected posting fee is $35.625M for a $225M contract.
  6. Old Red
    Well said, but I think for completely different reasons.
  7. Old Red
    Posting for the Big Yam will be on Monday, and negotiations will start on Tuesday. Do you think Brez will shut things down as quick as Bloom did with Yoshida?
  8. Old Red
    At any rate i don’t believe any guidelines, or anything else included 3 last place finishes in 4 years.
  9. Old Red
    You’re right about about that. All I care about is that it took 4 years, and a nudge from Cora to right a wrong in hiring Bloom in the first place.🤮

    Yes Kimbrel wore down at the end, but the point being DD traded for Kimbrel to shore up the BP, which he did do for the most part. 100 saves in 3 years, and 42 in 2018 did shore the BP up.
  11. Old Red
    Reported by who?
  12. Old Red
    Did I miss something? Did Bloom not get fired? Now if you mean if he had gotten demoted like Ben did I would have said the circumstances, and the outcome would have been the same.
  13. Old Red
    Sensitive might be to strong a word on here.
  14. Old Red
    Exactly. NG in Florida did the same thing just recently.
  15. Old Red
    He shored up the BP in Boston though.
  16. Old Red
    I suppose that JH getting Boo’d all the time must be to strong of a reaction too.🙈
  17. Old Red
    It makes some feel better about JH to say Ben was just demoted, and then walked out on his own. Same results. Poor JH that volatility is to strong a word.
  18. Old Red
    I wouldn’t blame DD for not wanting Sam in a lot of meetings. DD has probably forgotten more about baseball than Sam will ever know.
  19. Old Red
    It wasn’t a straight out firing, but DD was put in charge of him. He could have stayed, but in a diminished role, so call it what you want.
  20. Old Red
    It’s not a myth at all on why Ben left.
  21. Old Red
    And Sam’s not talking.
  22. Old Red
    Wouldn’t most people be shocked after getting fired after being in charge of 4 winning seasons, and a WS title to boot?
  23. Old Red
    A big difference too is that LL used to run the Red Sox, but now I don’t know who JH gets his main advice from. Sam?
  24. Old Red
    Now there is probably more truth in that than not. DD has a lot of respect in MLB built up through his many years.
  25. Old Red
    Being there for 20+ seasons probably had something to do with it too.
