Baez was your guy. Yes I agree Story would have gotten more if healthy, but he wasn’t, and I don’t know if there were many serious offers out there besides the Sox for the obvious reason.
-
He didn’t get what others got last year, and he’s not, and wasn’t healthy, and he not in todays market.
-
I don’t think Kike will flip anywhere, so wherever he plays he stays. I don’t think Duran is in anyone’s major plan either just like last year, and will only play if everything else fails. I don’t see Valdez in any kind of plan either, and would only be a last option kind of thing too.
-
I still think he will be the starting 2B just like he was going to be, before Story came up lame. Of course you would need a plan B, and C for backup.
-
With it Story got more than he should have. When JH opens his checkbook I don’t think he would be alright with paying someone who sits out a year whether it be Story, or Sale.
-
They were supposedly in on Suzuki last year too.
-
And Yoshida was signed after the botched Bogey fiasco.
-
I’m sure all losing last place teams worry about who’s on the tail end of the 40 man. Not!
-
I think Bloom is just doing his signature move in trying to look for that third option in the fork in the road. It worked out so good last time.
-
The Red Sox have more problems than worrying who’s on the back end of the 40 man.
-
Story changed Bloom’s plans, but this whole IF situation is turning out harder than it should be it appears.
-
Andrus probably wants to much money, and more than a year.
-
Right, and the story goes that Story was ramping up his throwing when he developed the pain in his elbow.
-
It’s a very debatable subject if Bloom is a good exec, or not. Still plenty of questions, but very few answers.
-
Stupid all the way around. I agree, and all for the low sum of $140M.
-
Do you know what the medical reports on Story said? No you don’t, and neither do I, but Bloom is keeping quiet if there were any concerns, or not, and it sounds like a. Cover up to me. It would be awfully easy to do to say nothing suspicious showed up on Story’s physical, but Bloom hasn’t done that. I wonder why.
-
Trevor played a full season, and Sale pitched in 2019. These things don’t have to go all at once. No misinterpretation on Bagwell, and Biggio. Like they said at some point he would need surgery, which he did.
-
No, but even if it was they were right just like Bagwell, and Biggio were right, and I don’t think you had to be any kind of medical expert to be right either.
-
Good one, but #1 they were right, and both know a little bit about arms, elbows, and what it takes to throw a baseball around the diamond. I’m guessing both have had, and seen plenty of medical opinions in their careers.
-
I think teams passed on Correa last year, because of money, and not for medicals like this year. I’m not blaming Story for anything, but only raising questions. I agree on the Boston media part, but it’s also other teams around the league. I heard a report that said Bagwell, and Biggio were talking about Story at the HOF last year, and said they knew he would need surgery, and also Jim Palmer voiced his opinion after hearing about Story needing surgery, so like. Said lots of questions all the way around.
-
At any rate Story signed late in ST, and the stories out there said some teams passed on Story, because of worries about his elbow. Some theorized also that Story was signed by the Sox to appease the fan base who were voicing their displeasure with the Sox not making any big moves. Story also fired his agent shortly after the signing. Lots of questions all the way around.
-
I understand there is a big difference between a P, and a SS. Sale pitched in 2019, and Story as far as we know didn’t have any problems last year, but in both cases it was just a matter of time.
-
DD was chastised from here, there, and everywhere, and Bloom will get the same, sometimes these things take awhile, before they get to the point where surgery is needed as it seems was the case with Sale, and Story. I’m guess Bloom did not get a pat on the back from JH when Story had the surgery.
-
I guess Bloom wasn’t good at Clue.
-
And they did, and they were right.
