    I was just going by the Pawn Shop offer that always seems to be made in all of these suggested trades. I also don’t see the Red Sox picking up that kind of salary.

    Huh? Huh? Cora said in an interview on NESN last year as the Raffy saga was unfolding, and said he hadn’t talked to Raffy about playing 1B, and WASN’T going to, so your literally the manager isn’t so like obvious, and just the opposite. Nice try, but you failed again. As for the rest of the story it’s easy to come out now, and talk way after the fact, and should have been done at the time. Your like…..obvious?🤭🙈

    You are always trying to pawn off players to other teams like they would be so glad to get them. They Are Not. Does SF say no? They don’t even pick up the phone.🙈

    FLIPPER MOOn. The one who yelled Devers Forevers at the top of his lungs for years. The team decided?? bresLOW did, but Cora didn’t, and as I said before I’m pretty sure bresLOW thinks, and thought he knows best, but how he handled the whole situation, which we agreed it was 90% bresLOW- 5 Cora- 5 Raffy who was wrong.
  5. Old Red
    Huh? OMG! It was the same when Casas got to Woo, and the same when Casas got to Boston, and that’s why they tried to lock Casas long term. You can cling to Speier, but the Red Sox signed Raffy to a 3B contract. You make no sense at all.🤭
  6. Old Red
    Why would they do that when Casas while still down in Portland was deemed the 1B of the future. Come on NNN.🙈
  7. Old Red
    You nailed it that some on here had regurgitated for 3 yrs that Raffy should be moved to 1B, because he was the worst 3B in the league, but would be serviceable at 1B, and better than Casas.
  8. Old Red
    NNNNN. You accumulate more N everyday. How did you conjure up Raffy refused to play 1B, because he watched Arroyo play RF, and Franchy at 1B?Arroyo also tried to play 1B. That is why he told bresLOW to do his job, and go find a. regular 1B. You try to analyze, and you get it wrong every time. Masa didn’t need to play at all, and that’s why they shipped him to parts unknown with the ruse that he had to get his shoulder in shape to play the OF when he didn’t even weld a bat most of rehabbing, but was good enough to DH in ST. Once again on the WRONG side of Memphis.

    Well said, and agree 100%. 👍
  10. Old Red
    Good Bowler.
  11. Old Red
    I’ll agree with that, but it wasn’t a plan until it was. Telling him to put his glove away was pretty telling that he wasn’t even a backup at 3B.
  12. Old Red
    That’s been regurgitated many times on here by some amateur scouts that they pretend to be.
  13. Old Red
    This conversation has been going on since he was traded a little over a year ago. SF is a whole entirely different situation. Raffy went to a new team where he had no seniority, and where they already had a good incumbent 3B. If Abraham Toro was an option that is all on bresLOW. The SF manager might of asked him to play 1B, where the Boston manager DID NOT. Is that a calculus change? You don’t have to buy anything. Once again Cora his manager did not ask him to play 1B. You can call that stubborn, but I think Cora knew what was best for the team, and not you, or me, and I agree that was pretty clear cut, and dry if you ask me.
  14. Old Red
    He was already playing where he was needed most. DH.🤫
  15. Old Red
    Huh? OMG NNNN. Yes I agree with everything Raffy, and Cora said, and did. We’ve already gone all over that 100 times already. What I don’t condone is how the Red Sox didn’t have a better plan not only at 1B, or 2B as well prior to this year. The bottom line is Raffy didn’t refuse what Cora told him to do so once again I say to me Raffy, and Cora were justified in everything they said, and did, and that was what was BEST for the team.👋
  16. Old Red
    We’ve already gone all over that a number of times already.🤔
  17. Old Red
    DH would be weakened, and I know it would have been hard to comprehend for you, but Raffy could have been worse at 1B. Romy was fine there. Could have even affected Raffy’s hitting like DH did at first. The choice of Toro at 1B was, because bresLOW wasn’t doing his job. Good point you had there. Well done.👏
  18. Old Red
    Huh? OMG NNN! Where did I condone it? I just said that’s what the Red Sox continued to do, and it wasn’t any more a problem last year than it was the previous two years, and the Red Sox were just doing what they normally do. I agree it was a failure, and that’s why Raffy was JUSTIFIED to tell bresLOW to do his job.
  19. Old Red
    My point is that 1B had been a problem for three years in a row, and the Red Sox just stuck someone there like Arroyo, and Franchy who hadn’t played there before, and they were going to try it again. That was all, because of injuries too, so it was NO more a problem last year then it was the two years before that. Raffy did what he was told he went to DH, and put his glove away. IMO putting Raffy at 1B would have weakened the team at two positions 1B, and DH. I think Raffy thought that, and I think Cora thought that. As I’ve said many times if Cora had told Raffy to go play 1B I’d have a different opinion but he didn’t. I think Raffy, and Cora knew what was best for the team, and bresLOW didn’t.
  20. Old Red
    The same plan they had the past few years when they were just sticking someone there hoping it might work out. Same as they did at 2B a few years ago when 11 different 2B played musical chairs. Now if you want to say that wasn’t a plan I’m with you.
  21. Old Red
    Yes, and as I said they KNEW he definitely wasn’t coming back last year, and not counting on him this year, and even to get back as a DH even looks iffy when he gets hurt just swinging a bat.
  22. Old Red
    You didn’t have a case.🙈
  23. Old Red
    Huh? Casas was already hurt. They didn’t know how long Casas would be out? They certainly knew he wasn’t coming back for the rest of the year, and most likely part of this year. It wasn’t a big problem before for the Red Sox, and that’s why the Red Sox tried Arroyo, and Franchy. Raffy saw that, so he was more than justified in telling bresLOW to do his job, and find a 1B. Cora felt the same way IMO.
  24. Old Red
    Huh? The same one they used. Did Raffy ever play there?🤔
  25. Old Red
    And as I said he ended up signing for 3B money, so I don’t believe there was any plan to move him anytime soon.
