    Gone over this already also. SF was a whole different situation. Raffy was going to a new team whom already had a good incumbent 3B. That fact changes the whole situation from Boston. Also Cora wasn’t the manager who knew Raffy best.
  2. Old Red
    We’ve already gone over this 1000 times already. Cora was right to not ask Raffy to play 1B, and putting all the facts together that we KNOW Raffy was justified in telling bresLOW what he did. How many years had they been looking for a 1B to replace an injured Casas? Most likely Cora, and players on the team were thinking what Raffy said. Once again more that justified IMO.

    OMG NNN. There is a BIG, Big, Big difference in the money between Soto, and Flintstone Schwarber that it’s not even a close comparison. Come on Man!🙈

    Come on let’s do this together. I’ll say Brez, and you say LOW. Brez LOW, Brez LOW, Brez LOW. My first name is Craig My last name ends in LOW Everyone dislikes me Everywhere I go but I just shrug and grin Because I got the Red Sox in last place again.
  5. Old Red
    How about not even making an offer like Brez did?🤭🤭
  6. Old Red
    Still hung up on that insubordination thing. That’s funny considering Cora never asked Raffy to play 1B. I never heard Cora being asked why, or given his reasons, so everything is nothing, but pure speculation why. Of course that hasn’t stopped everyone from speculating.

    Murphy! 🙈🤭👎🤮

    NASCIH for $15M per. Even Charles Barkley would get this right. GUARANTEED!
  9. Old Red
    Why do you keep harping on flaws about his 5 major moves?? The FLAW was not getting another middle of the order bat. Was then, and is now.
  10. Old Red
    OMG! Parsing words.🤭
  11. Old Red
    While there was interest from other teams it was reported that the Red Sox was the only other team to have made a firm offer before SD swooped in and swept him off his feet.
  12. Old Red
    Murphy on the other hand makes no sense for the Red Sox even if he was making $5M the next two years+ let alone the $15M he’s owed. He’s been rolling down hill the last 3 years.
  13. Old Red
    Possible, but I don’t know if Con Man was being shopped to everyone. Could have been a Brez/Bloom thing like even with Sonny Gray.
  14. Old Red
    But was that because of a allotted Bregman Contract?
  15. Old Red
    Most likely the Red Sox would have made a better offer to Alonso if Bregman wasn’t in the picture, and I think he could have been had, but even though they could I doubt Con Man would have still been in the picture. It would have made a good middle of the order though.
  16. Old Red
    We agree, but that’s why the Red SOX only offered a half ass offer to Alonso, because of Bregman.
  17. Old Red
    I agree, and that’s why I said Bregman being Plan A was the problem all along, and money was set aside for him that ended up going to Ranger instead of getting the needed another big bat.
  18. Old Red
    Duran would have had to been traded, and Alonso the DH.
  19. Old Red
    The problem was that Bregman was plan A all along, and money was set aside for him. I know Schwaber was probably not going to leave Philly, but the Red Sox never made an offer. They still could have made the Con Man deal, and also signed Alonso, and then made the DUBin deal if they couldn’t have worked something out for a 2B/3B with a Duran part of the deal. Alonso, and Con Man would have been a better option than Bregman, and Con Man.
  20. Old Red
    Con Man was fine, but the original plan was adding him with Bregman. Con Man, and Alonso would have been more than fine.
  21. Old Red
    Signing Alonso instead of Ranger, which was suggested before the offseason even started.
  22. Old Red
    And that’s a Good thing.👏
  23. Old Red
    I didn’t realize Riley had dropped off so much, so that makes it even more unlikely. Atlanta wouldn’t want Boston’s problems, and Boston wouldn’t want Atlanta’s problems especially those two contracts.
  24. Old Red
    You just like to keep things going. Sounds like you just did an Autobiography. Here’s You’re Sign. Stink-Stank-Stunk.🤭🙈🤮
  25. Old Red
    You guys. Crack me up. You’re always trying to unload players you don’t want like Story, and Masa, and think other teams will want them. If you were suggesting a trade for the Braves do you think you’d offer that same trade, because you wanted Story, and Masa? 🙈
