F’n stupid question? You mean like you asking if the Red Sox signed JT for the bench? I don’t care about BTV just like I don’t care about analytics. There is nothing wrong with that just like there isn’t anything wrong with the people who do. All I’ve asked is when was the last time a suggested BTV trade on here actually happened? Who said anything about Bloom, and Henry posted on here. The point being it would be more fun being a Red Sox fan if Bloom, and JH did a better job, so the Red Sox would be a winning team who got into the postseason.
-
Dreaming in La La land is fun? BTV accepts this, and BTV accepts that must be fun too, but I asked a while back when is the last time when of those suggested trades actually happened? To each its own I guess, on what’s an example of what fun is. As far as the fun parade goes, and I like parades, but I would say it’s been Bloom, and JH that has done the raining on your parade.
-
If you don’t care why talk about it especially if there is not a snowballs chance in hell of it happening.🙈
-
I get that, but Just don’t see it happening.
-
But the most relevant one since JH signs the checks.
-
I missed the trade part, but why would any team pay $140M to get rid of someone. The Sox paying to get rid of Price was bad enough as was paying JT to opt out.
-
Is that your take, because it isn’t mine? I just don’t see JH paying a Trout, Soto, or the Big O. I’d rather have kept Mookie.
-
🙈🤭🤮.
-
Trout has been fragile now, and only 32, so to pay this guy $35M+ for another 7 years when he most likely will get even more fragile to me would be a pretty bad move, and investment. No thanks.
-
Soto already turned down $400M+, so how much money would you be willing to pay this guy? I’ll pass.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations
Old Red replied to Tedballgame's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
I know it had to be the coaches fault that the team has sucked for the last two years. Bush couldn’t teach the guys how to pitch, and Febles couldn’t teach how to play D even with some help from Cora. -

I don’t believe anyone said that the CBO wouldn’t have ANY say, and would defer to Alex. S T R E T C H. -
Imanaga to be posted today. He would be the cheaper version than the big Yam.
-
The team has to many players who is more suited to be DH, but Casas at 1B does mute any talk of Raffy moving there at the present time.
-
It would be great if the Red Sox had all these players that was good all around players, but they don’t. Raffy is not a good 3B. Casas is not a good 1B, and Yoshida is not a good OF just to name 3 players. If they don’t get better you either live with it, or made some trades, which I don’t see happening with Raffy, or Casas anytime soon.
-
We all know Raffy is not a good 3B, and may never be one, but all the talk of him moving to 1B is mute as long as Casas is there.
-
I agree, and Cora has already said Raffy is the 3B next year, and like MVP said it wouldn’t make sense to put Raffy at 1B, which would probably hurt his D at 3B even more, and I agreed. Everyone is free to think otherwise making sense, or not.
-
I agree 100%, but one on here keeps touting Raffy as a backup 1B.
-
Devers has 2 positions. 3B, or DH. 1B is not in his immediate future especially as a backup.
-
I know everyone on here is sold on with Duran, but I am not. I know he was better last year than his disaster 2022, but I would want to see more of his 2023 again before I pencil him in FT anywhere. He didn’t finish 2023 very good his last month before he got hurt, and he may only be somewhere as good between his 2022 season, and 2023, so what then. Once again I don’t see Raffy as any backup at 1B this coming year,and I don’t believe Cora does either. He needs all the work he can get at 3B.
-
When it comes to $300M deals Devers simply hasn’t measured up according to the article by John Tomase. OUCH!
-
I agree, and to me it’s a waste of talent. The Dodgers played Mookie in the IF last year too, because he can play there, but to me that’s a waste of what he can do in RF too, and it took that away.

We were talking about Breslow, but for some reason Moon had to bring up Bloom, and me again, which Bell has already explained to him 3 times. -

OMG! You brought it up again today. I know a skunk doesn’t smell his own stink, but come on man!
