    I don’t believe it was the all he was allowed to offer angle since they offered Ranger more PDV after the fact. Money, no trade, and yes misreading the room, which led to his tactics all could have played a part.
  2. Old Red
    You guys are making it seem like money was the only reason that Bregman didn’t come back to Boston, and I’m certainly not saying money didn’t have anything to do with it, but after listening to AJP I think Brez’s negotiation tactic had something to do with it also. I know that would be hard to believe for some, but I think it more than a possibility.
  3. Old Red
    Did Brez fail, or not fail in landing what the Red Sox most wanted, and was their PLAN A?
  4. Old Red
    Don’t forget Kimmi whom would have been with us. Just, because Brez failed his main mission doesn’t mean he’d be a bum. Kind of harsh aren’t you? Even for a 12th pick.
  5. Old Red
    How about AJP’s account who seemed to have inside information on how Brez handled things? You are not really calling me out for my statements when I’m just repeating what I heard others say on other networks not named talksox.

    You are right I didn’t want Bregman back for any longer than they originally signed him for, which was three years, but you are wrong when you say I’m pissed for as you say that Brez bitched the negotiations. I am just pointing out that the Red Sox could not land Bregman who was PLAN A just like they discussed it on ESPN, and MLB Network, and also on different talk shows just like this one, and yes even on NESN. Of course I don’t criticize Brez just like I didn’t criticize Bloom which is just like you didn’t apologize, or defend Bloom, or apologize, or defend Brez, or JH.The funniest part was that none of the different sports sites I mentioned praised Brez at all in him handling the Bregman negotiations. How do you account for that? Are they all pissed? Are they all wrong?👋

    I doubt very much they had already come together on the Numbers, and that they had planned all along to offer Ranger more PDV than they offered Bregman, and that only came about, because they lost out on Bregman, and upped the numbers then that Ranger ended up with.
  8. Old Red
    If, if, if. If you want to go on the assumption that it was JH who was firm on the no trade clause fine. You can also assume it was JH who wanted to defer the money for decades, but then turned around, and gave Ranger more PDV. JH must have told Brez to give Bregman a low offer, and pretty much a take it, or leave it, and not to believe BorASS that they had a better offer on the table. Good strategy to get Bregman mad to start with, and then come back with that so called aggressive offer when it was way too late. So you say Brez bitched it? GOOD ONE.🙈
  9. Old Red
    Wow can you imagine the gaul of some people on another network actually not actually apologizing, or defending Brez, and just finding it interesting that Sam was praising O’Halloran for working on the Ranger deal, and not Brez. Brez must have tired himself all out working on, and finalizing the Bregman deal. Oh wait.🤫
  10. Old Red
    I said all accounts that I heard. Do you have anything to the contrary? You wouldn’t be persistently apologizing, or defending Brez again would you? Persistently saying you aren’t doesn’t pass the smell test, but I’m sure you’ll persist, and insist anyway all to NO avail.👋
  11. Old Red
    It doesn’t really matter if it’s not all, not even close to all, or none at all? Bregman was PLAN A, and by all accounts thatI heard especially from AJP,Brez bungled the Bregman negotiations right from the start.
  12. Old Red
    Heard a discussion today that at the presser introduction for Ranger Sam praised O’Halloran for working on the deal for Ranger, and not Brez who supposedly worked on, and bungled the Bregman negotiations. BorASS was the agent for both Ranger, and Bregman, and said the Ranger deal came together pretty quickly, where we all know the Bregman deal didn’t happen. The discussion was wondering if BorASS worked better with O’Hall, and Brez was told to sit this one out.🤔

    It worked fine when Raffy was batting 2nd behind Duran.
  14. Old Red
    I don’t believe Campbell is penciled in at 2B at this point in time.
  15. Old Red
    Boston’s CBO’s should be looking at the here, and now more than anything else, because they don’t stick around to long anyway.
  16. Old Red
    I don’t really think they really know what Casas is at this point, because of all the time he’s missed, because of injuries. I bet they are glad he didn’t take that extension though.
  17. Old Red
    No diversion at all. You seem to think an opinion, or suggestions make it less wrong than predictions , and that’s why you always try to differentiate. They are not. Especially in your case, because they don’t happen either way.👋
  18. Old Red
    Try looking at it from Raffy’s point of view for once, and you might come up with a different take. It didn’t matter who said it, but it was the Boston Red Sox who said.
  19. Old Red
    I agree with this, but despite all of Raffy’s shortcomings the Red Sox still signed Raffy to a long term contract, and told him he’d be the 3B for the foreseeable future. What complicated things was Raffy actually thinking he was a good 3B.
  20. Old Red
    SF already have a pretty good 3B, so Devers wasn’t going to play 3B there anyway, Suggestions, opinions, and predictions oh my. Can all be good, bad, right, or wrong, and some can even come to fruition, and then again they won’t, or don’t.
  21. Old Red
    You guys throw out all these suggestions that Bloom, and Cora obviously didn’t do, so I wonder why they didn’t see it that way. They were either bad ideas, or especially Cora must be really incompetent.
  22. Old Red
    Me too? They had the 1B of the future there in Casas who they tried to lock up long term, so no need at all.
  23. Old Red
    Better than the 2 lefty killers Romy, and Ref Man going 1-14.Sure could have used Raffy.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t think Cora has a loyalty issue at all. What you may think is a better option like Raffy at 1B, which I disagree with, and I think Cora saw it the same way. I never have believed Cora didn’t talk to Raffy about it, because of loyalty. No I wouldn’t have put Bogey at 2B either for Story, and Cora didn’t do it either, and I don’t think Cora was worried about rocking any boat. What backfired about Raffy is not having his bat in the lineup, and now NO Bregman either, so we agree on a backfire. I’ll finish on this that I’m not even a big Cora fan just like I was never a Devers Forevers guy.👋
  25. Old Red
    No he couldn’t have just handed Bo a blank check. Brez bungled the whole Raffy situation for a one year rental, and then he bungled the whole Bregman situation this year who was the Red Sox PLAN A. Just throw In Anthony too for Marte, and make it a real fabrication.
