I get that, but the point being the Red Sox could not have moved Bogey anyway with his say so.
-
That was just window dressing anyways, because Bogey had a no trade.
-
Actually I read another report this morning that DD was actually in trade talks with the Dodgers about Mookie during the 2019 season when things wasn’t looking so good, but then the Red Sox went on a winning streak, so the Red Sox backed off. Might of gotten a better return for Mookie then, so just another thought for fodder.
-
I can smell what Sam, and JH have cooked up, and it’s stinking to high heaven. Probably another ticket price increase too just to stir the pot.
-
The point is that with reports out there, which I just found out about a few weeks ago just make me more skeptical of the who thing. That’s all.
-
And losing they did. Hopefully they throw that recipe away, so it can’t be used again.
-
When Bloom, and JH showed up together, and the boo boo birds let them have it I think it would have been hard to decipher who was getting the loudest boos, but since JH owns the team I guess he didn’t want to fire himself, so he gave Bloom the boot.
-
How much input does Werner have I wonder.
-
That would have been a major relief IF it had happened, or had a chance to happen. BIG if though.
-
Is Henry actually making all these decisions since he doesn’t have Larry running the team anymore? Who’s hiring the next GM/HOBO?
-
Nothing confirmed, and I can’t believe anyone was that interested in Sale, and his salary. As a #1 critic of Bloom even I don’t believe that story.
-
The good, or the bad for Story will always be on Bloom. Credit, or blame just like Sale has been for DD.
-
Wrong again. I said there was reports out there that said Bloom was never told he had to trade Betts. Before I saw that report in the past my main criticism on the trade was that they didn’t get enough back like some pitching. I had always assumed that the decision to trade Mookie was made before Bloom was hired. Maybe trading Mookie was one of the reasons DD,and JH had the fallen out.
-
You mean the standing ovations both got at last winter’s meet, and greet didn’t change his mind.
-
If Story doesn’t come back, and hit next year that’s 4 more years on that contract. Yoshida is not a bust, but he’s no $100M man either. Both party gifts by Bloom.
-
I’ll answer that like this. I believe if Mookie didn’t get signed by DD then he wasn’t going to get resigned in Boston.
-
It took 4 years, but JH righted his wrong in hiring Bloom, but that doesn’t make it any less of a blame on JH I don’t believe out in the Nation.
-
Well written. Still fielding a competitive team was, and is the #1 priority. Playing in October, and not watching from the sidelines in last place, and that was why Bloom was fired beyond everything else, because he couldn’t field a competitive team here, and now.
-
That just proves what I’ve been saying for two years now that JH is not the same guy today as he was when he first bought the Red Sox 20 years ago. That JH I believe would have locked up Mookie no matter what it would have taken.
-
I listen to any, and all reports just like I go to many different venues to see what’s being said.
-
That’s if you need a rebuild in the first place.
-
Leading the league in errors was, and is a BIG deal.
-
I’m not blaming Cora outside of leaving Kike at SS way too long. Reports were that Cora was out there himself working with the guys on D.
-
Cora had to be told to get Kike to hell off SS.
-
If things are done right you don’t have to do a rebuild. You don’t have to finish in last place to make the farm rankings better, and cut some payroll. JH had a fallen out with JH, and that’s why he was fired. It could have been about cutting payroll, or not.
