    Not true even though Breslow was one of the last guys standing, or should I say willing like I said again yesterday I’m all in to see what him, and Cora can put together.
  2. Old Red
    Yes picking up trash in the stands between games at Fenway.
  3. Old Red
    I already explained that yesterday, and I don’t go under the theory like some that Bloom failed, because of the restrictions placed on him by JH, which I don’t believe happed when it come to trading prospects. Not trading any top prospects I believe was all on Bloom just like his looking for that third option in the fork in the road come trade deadline time. Bloom failed, because he was Bloom not, because of JH.

    Are you going to outbid all these other teams for pitching you want? A trade may be a better option for 2024. I repeat for 2024.
  5. Old Red
    Are you comparing him to those three? Mayer fell into Bloom’s lap after three teams passed on him. He has lots of potential, but that doesn’t mean he’ll live up to that potential. If they could get some good pitching now for him being involved I think that’s a chance worth taking.
  6. Old Red
    The answer would be to trade Mayer for someone good themselves.
  7. Old Red
    I understand fully how old he is, but people have been talking about him like he’s here already since he was drafted. You don’t make your decisions on a SS, or anywhere else with the expectations that Mayer will be here someday at the expense of today, or yesterday.You don’t pass on years waiting for something to happen that may never turnout.
  8. Old Red
    Agree buying starting pitching will be expensive, and there will be lots of competition.
  9. Old Red
    I wouldn’t call it stupid to think about trading Mayer. Like I said he hasn’t proven anything past A ball, and it’s nowhere near a sure thing he’ll be as good as Bogey, and will ever live up to the hype he’s had since he was drafted.
  10. Old Red
    Mayer finished the year injured, and hasn’t proven anything past A ball, and I think it would take more than him, and Duran to get what you suggested to start with, and who knows if the Red Sox would consider Mayer as trade bait at this point anyways. Would you take that trade if you was in charge of Pittsburgh? I wouldn’t.
  11. Old Red
    Bednar would be a good replacement, but I’m not sure the Red Sox would trade Mayer for a RP.
  12. Old Red
    I don’t think he gets extended either, but only 2024 comes next. I’m for bringing Duvall back, but you won’t get him for just 1 yr again, so I don’t know how long, and for how much you would want to go.
  13. Old Red
    Just to get someone younger, and if cheaper that’s fine too. Jansen pitched his lowest amount of innings last year outside of his rookie, and the Covid year, so another year older and on the old bod.
  14. Old Red
    I’m all for trading Jansen, but if you do he has to be replaced, and that would cost too.
  15. Old Red
    I wouldn’t trade Dugo just for the sake of trading him. He will be on his last contract yarrow before hitting FA, so that may be a good thing.
  16. Old Red
    Can’t trades be made starting today? How about a big splash from Breslow on day 1!
  17. Old Red
    If Dugo is still there I can’t see Duran, Raf Man, and Abreu still all on the club, and especially if Duvall, or someone similar gets added.
  18. Old Red
    I get that, and we’ve talked about this before, but starting Duran, Raf Man, and Abreu in the OF seems like a risky move to me.
  19. Old Red
    I heard John Henry showed up late at the press conference today. Must have been sailing into a headwind. Now Sam after an exhausting 7 week search can take some much needed time off, after a job well done.
  20. Old Red
    I’m still hoping they’ve got a SS who can be competent with the bat, and glove with emphasis on bat.
  21. Old Red
    If he was surprised he shouldn’t have been. Bogey was gone when they only offered him that 1 yr extension before the 2022 season. He wasn’t gone just when SD signed him.
  22. Old Red
    I already know about 1B, and 3B. I was talking about the other positions you mentioned.
  23. Old Red
    Dugo is not going to get you very much back especially after his 2nd half decline, and one more year before he can hit the FA market.
  24. Old Red
    That’s why I said earlier about Breslow that living in the area, and playing for the Red Sox he knows all about Red Sox Nation, and what goes along with it. I don’t believe Bloom ever did when he took the job.
  25. Old Red
    Very simple. I didn’t want to go the Tampa way. The Red Sox won 4 championships by not doing it the Tampa way. They also had last place finishes not doing it the Tampa way. What may work in Tampa most likely won’t work in Boston.
