    There are so many rumors, and reports out there that none of them may even be true. The Red Sox May have made an offer, but most likely not good enough to BorASS, and Bregman.
  2. Old Red
    As I keep saying he’s a good player, but he’s not a Mike Schmidt, or George Brett, and he’s starting to get older, so I don’t think he’s someone worth going large, and long on like 5 years. I said the first contract, which was 3 years was just right in years.
  3. Old Red
    Alonso was worth $85M to Boston, but $155M to Baltimore. Flintstone was worth $150M to Philly, but the Red Sox didn’t even put in an offer , so just, because those players got that much money from other teams doesn’t mean Bregman should get that much from the Red Sox especially when JH has the checkbook. Most likely both Alonso, and Flintstone will hit more HR, and have more RBI then Bregman the next five years. No doubt Bregman plays a good D, so it all depends on what you want, and what you want to pay.

    But I don’t believe at any cost. I understand he would help, but I think some, and I’m not saying you are fixated more on his hot start last year, and not how he eventually finished up the season injury, and all, and now he’s a year older.

    No buyout, and no option years. That’s why we’re going through this right now on if he’s coming back, or not. Make him a straight up offer, which supposedly they have done, and if he doesn’t want it then move on.
  6. Old Red
    A lot more money.
  7. Old Red
    It’s all make believe if that’s what you like.
  8. Old Red
    Yeah, yeah.🤔
  9. Old Red
    I agree, and as I’ve said many times that Raffy was the last man standing after Mookie, and Bogey left.
  10. Old Red
    I don’t think they will. Of course Donavan has been mentioned on here as well, which be cheaper in money, and what it would take to get him, but it’s a drop off too from what Marte would bring.
  11. Old Red
    Breggie has been plan A all along, and I don’t know what plan B is. Marte has been mentioned many, many times, but he might not even be on the market.
  12. Old Red
    I worked though. Now time will tell if Baltimore has buyers remorse.
  13. Old Red
    😃👍👍👍.
  14. Old Red
    The Red Sox still could use Flintstone’s, or Alonso’s bat though, and yes even Raffy’s. As for Bregman it’s dammed if you do, and dammed if you don’t.
  15. Old Red
    I’ve missed so many points on here I’ve been told I’ve got sent to the bench several times.
  16. Old Red
    Yes, but they know other teams were hot on his trail like Baltimore apparently was. Alonso drove to the meetings himself to meet with teams, so I think this was a little bit different situation.
  17. Old Red
    3 days? It’s been discussed for some time now. Here, there, and everywhere.
  18. Old Red
    And yet with having a small old ballpark the Red Sox generate $500M+ in revenue.
  19. Old Red
    I agree. I don’t think anyone is asking the Red Sox to go to the Mets, or Dodgers level.
  20. Old Red
    I did NOT say the same thing about Bogey. I said DD should have offered Bogey more money on the original 6 year contract with NO opt outs. Bogey’s contract would have been up after last year.
  21. Old Red
    If you just wanted to waste everyone’s time it’s fine, but Alonso was not going to take only 3 years.
  22. Old Red
    Having the highest ticket prices, but only 23rd in the league on revenue to payroll, which was even worse before I agree with you the Red Sox should spend more.🤫
  23. Old Red
    You mean a process like having a zoom meeting with Alonso, and then having a in person meeting, and then only offering him 3 year?🤭
  24. Old Red
    I would give NO options, and NO buyouts. Make him a straight offer with a take it, or leave it. He’s a good player, and will help the club, but as I said last year he’s NO Mike Schmidt, or George Brett. Yes I know he got off to a hot start last year, but how did he end up, and now he’s a year older. If the reported offer is true, which is too long, but more than generous isn’t good enough than move on.

    👍👍👍.
