    I’ve said all along Monty, Snell, and Gray would have helped the Red Sox, but they are not worth the contracts they’ll get. I’ve also said all along make some trades, and get some younger arms than these guys even if it means trading some top prospects.
  2. Old Red
    I was for resigning ERod after the 2021 season, but not now. I’m not saying Gray isn’t a good pitcher, but only at age 34 he s not worth $25M/yr just, because he’s a FA, and there is a big need out there, and he’s never made more than $10M/yr before.
  3. Old Red
    A lot of We’ll see.

    I don’t have any pessimism, because I said before the offseason Christmas wish list wasn’t that good to begin with. The Red Sox were not going in for the Big O, and the shiny pitching bauble from Japan have some big spenders willing to spend for his services, and the zRed Sox will not outspend any of them. The rest like Snell, Monty,and Gray are in demand more, or less, because there is a need, and because they are available, and lots of clubs are in need. All would help, but none will probably live up to the hype of the demands, and certainly not worth the money. Gray at age 34 got $25M/yr when he had never gotten over little over $10M before. Is he so much better now? No, but because of need, and availability he got it.

    We don’t know what the plan is for O’Neil yet to say if it’s a minor move, or not. Platoon player, or everyday starter?
  6. Old Red
    🙈🤮🤭.

    I don’t care if he came to the Red Sox for free. Is that the best option out there? Was trading Dugy to the Yankees the best option?
  8. Old Red
    Agree, and the Red Sox are not going to outbid the Mets for anyone. So far I’m not impressed at all with Dugy going to the Yankees, or getting TO from the Cardinals.
  9. Old Red
    For Nick Robertson, and Victor Santos.
  10. Old Red
    This will be his last Arb year with an estimated $5.4M. He’s a cheaper option than Duvall.
  11. Old Red
    We’ll have to see who ends up in RF, but I’m with you in that I wasn’t all in in trading Dugy, and especially to the Yankees for what they got. Glayber coming back, which was rumored maybe. Dugy would have been in his contract year, and that might have been a good thing to have a good complete year, but like I said I think Cora had a big say in this.
  12. Old Red
    Suspect, Suspect, Suspect.
  13. Old Red
    I’m thinking Cora had a BIG say in Dugy being gone.
  14. Old Red
    I would have rather it be with any other team than the Yankees.
  15. Old Red
    Dugy will come back to haunt the Red Sox more than once in those Yankee pinstripes.
  16. Old Red
    Wow! 3 suspects.

    I have already answered this many times, and Bell has told you that more than once. It started out as just a little foul odor, and it increased to stink, stank, stunk with every year Bloom was here.
  18. Old Red
    As only Bloom could do.
  19. Old Red
    Yes I misspoke about going over at the deadline, but he did stay over as his results of comings, and goings, or lack of the latter.
  20. Old Red
    Bloom got a LF when the team needed a CF/RF, and was handed a much needed 1B. He also went over the CBT in the process, and yes the lack of good results showed.
  21. Old Red
    Speaking of Mookie according to Dave Roberts that Betts will be the FT Dodgers 2B next year.
  22. Old Red
    Especially after the two polls the AP, and the Coaches poll had Fla State in the top 4 also. Like I keep saying deciding who gets in by a bunch of guys in a smoke filled rm is a very flawed system, but then again college FB has always flawed. I still remember back in the day when ND jumped from 5th to ist after winning a bowl game.
  23. Old Red
    The Red Sox will not hire a new 3B coach as he will come from the present staff.
  24. Old Red
    On here anyway.
  25. Old Red
    Word it however you want to, but it doesn’t change the fact that someone put a bug in JH ear to hire Bloom, and the rest is history. Did I ever mention that I could smell a stench in the air the second I heard about Bloom being hired?
