    It’s not like Mookie is getting all $365M in 12 years either. There is a lot of deferred money in all of this. I believe his base salary this year is $20M
  2. Old Red
    Calm your jets, and your insinuations, because I gave that info yesterday on the 8-26 game thread.
  3. Old Red
    I also read another report that said Betts had no regrets turning down the 10/yr $300M offer. This is what I mean there is so many things out there.

    I read a report yesterday that said Bloom was never told he had to trade Mookie to get under the tax line, but he went ahead, and did it anyway.

    Agree, and I just don’t get, or remember ND having this much trouble getting a good QB. I don’t think Book was expected to take over, and play as much as he did either, and he did quite well.
  6. Old Red
    Agree, and it’s key that he stays healthy, because there is not much behind him. ND has had trouble recruiting a good QB lately, and have had to go outside 2 out of the last 3 years.
  7. Old Red
    True, but like you said he’s had pretty much the last 2 days off. I do expect him to be back in the lineup tonight though. If not that would be a real bad sign.
  8. Old Red
    Agree, and the Ref Man can be the third OF against LHP.
  9. Old Red
    Easy tune up for the Golden Domers.
  10. Old Red
    Right now it’s come down to either he plays, or Abreu plays.
  11. Old Red
    Devers X-rays came back negative, which is good news, and Cora is hoping he can play tomorrow.
  12. Old Red
    Sean McDonough said it best after Mookie homered. A trade that can never he defended, and a stain that can nerve be erased.
  13. Old Red
    Agree, and 17 runs for Houston today, so they are coming in with some hot bats.

    I actually watched the game today to see Mooke. One reason I remember not watching anymore was the constant yucking from the Yuckers in the NESN both with the likes of Youck, and Wake. Minor league operation. On the other hand a future HOF put on a show.

    Like I keep saying none of us know the whole story, or the true story. I read an article today by Kevin Skiver of the Sporting News who said multiple reports said Bloom was never told that Mookie had to be traded to keep under the tax line, but Bloom did it anyway, so who to believe, or not to believe. Also Mike Axsia back in 2020 said that Mookie said he had no regrets turning down the 10/yr $300M offer from the Red Sox.
  16. Old Red
    If JH is there today after Mookie crossed HP he should have looked up, and waved to him.

    Let’s see how Abreu finishes out the season before he gets penciled in for next year. Duran will be back some time too, so I don’t know how much playing time either will get. I don’t know if Dugy will get you a big return with only 1 year of control.
  18. Old Red
    Not until he had to come back to Boston, and step in that batters box for the first time. He wanted to make sure the reception was more positive.
  19. Old Red
    If the thoughts are that Abreu has to continue to play then someone has to sit, and to me that would come down to Masa, or Casas. Take your pick.
  20. Old Red
    Raffy scratched from Original line today with sore wrist. Will get X-rays today.
  21. Old Red
    Here it is 4 years later, and I don’t think we’re any closer to the truth between Mookie’s side, and DD, and Bloom’s side.
  22. Old Red
    I don’t think anyone has said that Mookie had anything to do with the trade to the Dodgers, and I haven’t either. That was the result of the failed negotiations. I don’t blame Mookie either for taking the most amount of money he could get for someone else. I get it that you don’t want to blame Mookie for anything, and everything on the Red Sox, but until I get some concrete evidence either way I’m blaming both.
  23. Old Red
    I would rather have Mookie in a Red Sox uniform right now, and I’m not saying he did anything wrong, but like I said previously until I get some concrete evidence either way I’ll stick to the Red Sox, and Mookie both got what each wanted. Neither side wants to be the bad guy in this, and I think both are somewhat to blame. What % I don’t know.
  24. Old Red
    Between him, Masa, and Casas someone had to sit, and Cora picked him.
  25. Old Red
    When it comes right down to it we fans don’t know much at all about what really happened in the negotiations between Mookie, and the Red Sox.Did the Red Sox offer $300M, or not? Did Mookie ask for $400M, or not? It seems strange that Mookie has waited 4 years until he came back to Boston to say the team didn’t offer $300M. I guess he didn’t want to be seen as the bad guy before he stepped into that batter’s box as a Dodger. Mookie didn’t ask to be traded, but I think he was thrilled it was to the Dodgers. He signed the contract before he played a game for them. Mookie may have liked playing for the Red Sox, but did he like Boston? Until.I hear facts to the contrary I’m going to keep on thinking Mookie, and the Red Sox both got what they wanted.
