    I think Betts was a whole different situation also. It was JH who made the call on how high they would go.
  2. Old Red
    Did Brez really think he was bidding against himself?🤔 If Brez was really betting against himself Bregman most likely would have signed with the Red Sox, and we would have hated the deal.

    That’s the beauty in all of this. You don’t have to believe anything you don’t want to, but that’s not going to stop anyone else, and nor is it going to stop any one else from coming to a different conclusion like JH is cheap.
  4. Old Red
    I’m just saying of all the reports out there pretty much saying the same thing if there was a different version it would come out by somebody.
  5. Old Red
    I agree. I’ve said before that money, and no trade were obstacles in a deal, but the big question to me was if Brez was under any restrictions from JH, or was the decisions all Brez. I haven’t seen reporting either way.
  6. Old Red
    Where did AJ, and the rest get their info from?
  7. Old Red
    Have you seen any reporting to the contrary?🤔
  8. Old Red
    You’ll grasp at straws, and throw spaghetti against the wall, and see if something sticks.

    Bregman’s getting $70M deferred over 8 years with the Cubs where the Red Sox wanted to stretch the deferring over decades was the Reporting.
  10. Old Red
    Not being united is not a good situation. I wonder where Cora stands on everything.🤔
  11. Old Red
    Change the HOBO but business as usual stays the same.
  12. Old Red
    Very plausible, so that would make the Bregman PLAN A theory a sham, sham, sham! So who was going to be the big bat?
  13. Old Red
    So you think he didn’t want Breggie longterm, and created the Raffy mess for a one, and done, and didn’t want Raffy either?
  14. Old Red
    There was more than 1 issue most likely, but the thing that gets me the most is the Red Sox have Ranger more PDV than they offered Bregman for the same amount of years after the fact.

    I’ve answered, but just not the way you like. For myself I don’t have to know what exactly happened to form an opinion just like you don’t. Like I said this was talked about all around baseball on several different venues, and they all had an opinion. What’s silly is you constantly thinking you have to defend Brez just like you do JH when someone says he’s cheap when they have a different view of what cheap is, and like you defended Bloom back in the day. You keep saying you are not, but you really are, and that’s what’s so silly.different views lead to different opinions and you can’t stop it.👋

    I think we know what happened through different accounts. What we don’t know is if Brez was all on his own, or had some restrictions from above namely JH. Of course I’m not criticizing, or blaming Brez just like others are not apologizing, or defending Brez. What we do know is Bregman is a Cub, and Raffy was shipped to SF for a one, and done.🤭
  17. Old Red
    The process is what gets you to the final result. No I didn’t want Bregman, buts it’s never been about that with me. All I said from the beginning is that Bregman was PLAN A, and some on here said just get the deal done, and the Red Sox didn’t get him, and from what I’ve heard from AJ, and others I think Brez’s negotiation had something to do with that, or at the very least didn’t help. Number 12 played GO FISH.
  18. Old Red
    Everyone knows the final outcome, but the main story to some is the negotiation process starting from the beginning, which led to that final outcome. Go FISH.
  19. Old Red
    What about Yale?
  20. Old Red
    AJ got his info from his network inside the MLB industry.
  21. Old Red
    The only thing I’ve heard Cora say is that Story will be the SS. Con Man will most likely play the most at 1B, but outside of that I don’t know what the Alignment will be. If Masa is on the Roster, and that could be a if he’ll be the DH. He’s no use as a bench guy. I don’t really care what happens to Duran, or Abreu for that matter.
  22. Old Red
    I think this sums things up pretty well, and as one put it Brez was playing GO FISH, and others were playing HOLD EM. There was also no evidence that JH didn’t let Brez do a no trade, or any other restrictions. I’m not saying there wasn’t, but NO report of it.
  23. Old Red
    That’s the way I understood it too. I don’t know what Brez’s first offer was, but by the time he put the SO CALLED aggressive offer on the table it was to late anyways,
  24. Old Red
    I agree with the dance part.
  25. Old Red
    I agree the Red Sox need a 3B/2B more than they need 4 OF. Like it, or not Masa will DH until he isn’t.
