Like I keep saying Cora hasn’t said anything, but my guess would be if it come down to just Kut Man, and Pivetta that Pivetta would get the nod.
-
Well said, and I blame DD more than I do Bloom for that one except for the slap in the face 1yr extension that Bloom offered.
-
From Milliken on Cotillo agents dealing With the Red Sox this offseason want to know why the Red Sox are acting like a small market club.
-
Cora hasn’t said who’s going to be in the rotation yet, so The Kut Man may be already slated for the BP. Pivetta, Kut Man, Houck, and Whit are all possibilities for the rotation still at this point. Remember you always have to have someone ready to take over for Frail.
-
He’s averaged 30+ starts, and 160-180 innings the last 3 years, so that’s good for something.
-
What’s a nice #2 these days, and what is a nice #1, or Ace?
-
It will be interesting to see how Bello turns out this year, and with Frail it’s not a question of if, but when he’s on the IL. The rest are all up in the air, and can go either way, so projects pretty much sums things up.
-
True the reclamation project could go either way.
-
I hated Dugo going to the Yankees, and I’ll say again I think he’ll come back to bite us in the ass, and haunt us. He’s got things to prove, and he’s playing for a contract, and sticking it to the Red Sox will be icing on the cake.
-
I get your points. One poster earlier was questioning why the fans seem more upset this year, and I think that an easy question to answer, which you did. Mookie was a kick in the teeth, and the current stretch of being a losing last place in the Div team has gone on to long, and fans want to see the team get back to being competitive, and in the postseason again now. Saying the team might be better in 2026 is not good enough.
-
I’m guessing all of the above to some degree. At least they signed a pitcher for more than $10M.
-
I agree 100%, but I just don’t see your suggested fix although a good one happening.
-
Well a day after landing a starting pitcher the long faces don’t seem as long, and the sad puppy eyes don’t seem as sad. I said the Red Sox were working on something, and low, and behold a pitcher appears. It isn’t the big splash as many expected, but it’s a start. The funny thing is I’ve been the voice of optimism while everyone else on here has been all gloom, and doom. What a turn of events.
-
Imagine signing a pitcher for more than $10M too.
-
184 innings with 41 HR allowed. Good, and bad.
-
He pitched a career high 184 innings last year, so at least that’s something.
-
A reclamation project that could go either way, but at least it’s something, but more is needed.
-
In all my years of listening, and participating in talk shows, and being on many, many, many forums, and message boards I have Never seen, or experienced anything like this, and after showing many of the tit for tats, and I know you are, but what am I to other people they all say the same thing. Where a couple of posters analyze every single letter of every single word, and see if it matches their interpretation, and if it doesn’t right, or wrong they go off on it even telling the other side then they know what the other person is trying to say more than they do. Sad, but true at the same time.
-
I don’t know how, but I had actually forgotten about the Arroyo, and Franchy at 1B experiment.
-
Even if it wasn’t if their main priority was the Yam Man it wasn’t very sound thinking if they thought they could win out over NY, and the Dodgers.
-
Only you went off on it like you did with Olson singing with the Braves, because I didn’t specify he’d been traded first when everyone knew it anyway. Like everyone sticks to a subject, or thread on here. The post was about FA, but comment was about MLB. If that bothers you, and obviously it did, because you felt you had to jump on it then good. I’ll sleep better tonight.
-
It is speculation, but I just don’t believe Cora, and Bloom could be that incompetent otherwise.
-
Do you think Baseball ops misread the FA room again, and didn’t think the asking prices would go up like they did especially for the zYam Man, and most likely Monty, and Snell to follow?
-
I think in the beginning Cora told Bloom Kike could handle it. If not Cora, and Bloom gets all the blame.
-
A good player who couldn’t hit his last two years in Boston.
