He not just the front runner. He’s it.

Story has already been figured out as the SS, and has been since Bogey left town.

Craig Breslow hired as Head Of Baseball Operations

Bloom’s best public skill was picking up trash in the stands between games. AWESOME. -
True the BP is pretty well set, and could be even deeper if some of the guys who finished in the rotation go back to the BP. Starting pitching, starting pitching, and more starting pitching.

True, but that doesn’t take much comparing him to Bloom. -

Playing for the Red Sox, and living in the area has nothing to do with giving him more perspective on how the front office works. I was referring to the whole Boston experience in general. -
I’m all for trading Jansen if they could come up with someone younger who would be around longer.

Lack of experience is a big concern. I have no idea who the Red Sox were interested in after firing Bloom, and if Breslow would have still been in the mix had not so many slammed the door in the Red Sox face, and declined to interview. At any rate he’s here now, and living in the area, and playing for the Red Sox he must have some idea what he’s getting into, where I don’t think Bloom ever did, so I’m all for giving him a chance to see what him, and Cora can put together. -
I don’t believe that will be a problem in 2024, and the Red Sox will be strictly BUYERS.

After listening to Sam The Sham’s great introduction at the press conference today, and Breslow answering questions is everyone all in? -
Given up on 2024 already? The only reason you should trade him is if the Red Sox are sucking again, and are out of postseason contention. For the 3rd offseason in a row it’s fire sale talk, and trading pieces off, before the season even starts. Always worrying about the future, and getting more prospects instead of the present. Bloom’s gone, and I expect things to be better this year, and there will be no need for any sell offs at the trade deadline, and maybe doing some buying instead.🙈

Great job by Nate, and glad it happened for him.
-
I remember the Yom Kipper saga with Koufax. Like I mentioned earlier the SP in those days like Koufax, Drysdale, and Gibby had as big a name as the sluggers. I became a Dodgers, and Cardinals fan in the early 60’s, because they played against the Yankees in the WS. Didn’t care so much for Gibson though in 67.
-
Imagine for all these years I thought I skipped school a couple of times in Oct of 67 was because I wanted to watch the WS.
-
Neither does thinking, or saying it’s true.
-
That to me would be on the bottom of the list of solutions for most fans.
-
That’s funny I never heard that theory anywhere else, or from anyone else. You must have scooped everyone else all these years.
-
You didn’t have a point to begin with, or at least a good one.

Breslow will get introduced Thursday by Sam The Sham who will tell everyone this is the guy the Red Sox wanted all along. It’s taken awhile for the press conference, because Sam is still working on his speech, and is making sure all the I are dotted, and all the t are crossed. -
Is that the best you got on why watching the WS was a bigger thing back in the day? Everyone knows that the WS was played strictly in the daytime back in those days, and the shows you mentioned were nighttime shows. Good try though.
-
I got that point, and the weren’t s*** part punctuated that, but that didn’t change my response.
-
That’s your view from your era, and that’s fine, but different eras may have differing views, and that’s fine too. I guess the older you are the more you have seen, and have more you have to pick from, which might give you a different perspective.
-
I’ll agree with that. I just don’t hear much, or anything about them anymore.
-
I wasn’t talking about sales, but if you think the cards are as big a deal today, as back in the 60’s, or so that’s fine.

WOW! F’n bench!🙈😂🤭🤮
