    They did take him to arbitration too.
  2. Old Red
    His base this year is $20M. Like I said something could have been worked out.

    Yes the length of Judge’s contract was insane just like Bogey’s was. The good of the team , short, and long term should have been to include Mookie, and to me that would have been over Raffy if you could only have one, but like I keep saying if you don’t want to pay to play then take your money, and go home. As I said in an earlier post Mookie has a lot of deferred money in his contract, so it’s not all being payed out in 12 years. Something could have, and should have been worked out by the Red Sox.

    These two teams aren’t just two big market teams. They are the Red Sox, and the Yankees.

    To me it still had to be done if it turns out good, or bad. Judge will go down as one of the Yankee all time greats unless career threatening injuries takes it away from him. Same with Mookie who would have gone down as one of the Red Sox all time greats. To me those guys you keep especially when Mookie was still in the prime of his career. Once again a trade that can’t be defended, and a stain that can’t be erased.

    We hope NY will regret signing Judge, but it’s something that had to be done just like it should have been something the Red Sox should have done with Mookie. Judge isn’t the problem the Yankees have sucked this year outside of his toe injury, but what’s around him. I don’t think the Yankees are in for any big rebuild. Stanton would have been the bad signing to me. Enjoy the Yankees misery while you can.

    Either way it was a small market team move, and not something that should have come from a big market team. Especially the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees ponied up for Judge, which hasn’t made a difference this year, but imagine the uproar in NY if that wouldn’t have happened.

    As expected Masa is in the lineup tonight batting cleanup, which I don’t get batting ahead of Duvall, and Casas. The LR thing is overrated sometimes.
  9. Old Red
    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
  10. Old Red
    Calm your jets, and your insinuations, because I gave that info yesterday on the 8-26 game thread.
  11. 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.
  12. Old Red
    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.
  13. Old Red
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Old Red
    Agree, and the Ref Man can be the third OF against LHP.
  17. Old Red
    Easy tune up for the Golden Domers.
  18. Old Red
    Right now it’s come down to either he plays, or Abreu plays.
  19. Old Red
    Devers X-rays came back negative, which is good news, and Cora is hoping he can play tomorrow.
  20. 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.
  21. Old Red
    Agree, and 17 runs for Houston today, so they are coming in with some hot bats.
  22. Old Red
    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.
  23. Old Red
    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.
  24. Old Red
    If JH is there today after Mookie crossed HP he should have looked up, and waved to him.
  25. Old Red
    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.
