    You over analyze everything, and usually by doing so get it wrong. If Bloom wasn’t concerned about Boris rejecting the first offer why would he worry about Boris rejecting a counter off to that? That doesn’t make sense to me, but then again We’re talking about Bloom so maybe it does make sense to him.
  2. Old Red
    You’re the only guy who can misread a room more than Bloom. Congrats on that.
  3. Old Red
    Any offer the Red Sox made to Bogey after he hit FA was to little to late, and you know that. We were talking about last offseason when an offer like this should have been made.
  4. Old Red
    Last offseason was what we were talking about, so was that when it happened? If not it doesn’t matter.

    Why did Bloom not make a second offer? I’m still scratching my head why he made the first so called offer, and for you to say Bloom didn’t make a second counter offer, because he didn’t think Boris would accept it then why did he make the first offer. Did Bloom think Boris would leap at that one? That’s the wow.
  6. Old Red
    I never said, or implied that you wanted Casas traded, but only that you mentioned that he might. Remember there were reports that the Red Sox were close to resigning Bogey too, which couldn’t have been further than the truth.
  7. Old Red
    You are really patting yourself on the back on a report?
  8. Old Red
    Of course Bloom, and Boris never came to an agreement. Once Bogey hit FA it was all over, and I think Bloom knew that, and knew he botched this up. So the best you can do is say Bloom didn’t do any countering, because he felt Boris wouldn’t accept it anyway? Wow!

    There has never been a report that I know of that Bloom made any other offer to Bogey last offseason except for the 1 yr ext. You have repeatedly said over, and over that the Red Sox did not want to meet Boris asking price yet you can’t say what the asking price is.
  10. Old Red
    I don’t think many are buying the lies though.
  11. Old Red
    Like I have said before that if I had a $ for every time you said that the Red Sox did not want to match Boris asking price I could have matched SD offer myself. There has never been a report of Boris asking for a price prior to last offseason, or anytime, before Bohey got to FA, so how do you know what that was that you keep repeating over, and over and that’s why Bogey wasn’t resigned. I know it fits your narrative, because to you Bloom just couldn’t be so bad, and in over his head, and misread the room, which to me is most likely the scenario.
  12. Old Red
    I just don’t get what purpose the 1 yr ext offer made, or what good could have possibly come out of that in Red Sox minds. The offer was so bad that it didn’t even warrant a counter offer. I agree also that something around the 6/162 would have been accepted, or a least a good negotiation point, which by all accounts never happened.
  13. Old Red
    You are right that we may never know what instructions Bloom had when it came to signing Bogey, and yes JH could have could have made it happen, but if they never really wanted Bogey in the first place then the dog, and pony show the Kennedy, and Bloom put on saying how much they wanted Bogey that to me is worse than Bloom misreading the room.
  14. Old Red
    He has misread the room as much as Bloom did. I think most Red Sox fans that aren’t on here would rather have Bogey then any kind of damm comp pick, and blame Bloom for not offering Bogey a fair deal last offseason, and not letting Bogey get to FA. Same with Raffy that even though Raffy hasn’t gotten to FA yet he might as well have, because by not locking Raffy up last offseason I would say the price has gone up at least a $100M with the way contacts have been handled out this offseason' and I don’t see any advantage for Raffy to sign now without Raffy testing the FA waters. Once again Bloom misread the room, and botched Raffy up too.
  15. Old Red
    I would say this sums things up things pretty well. Three years of Bloom is three years to many, and like I’ve been say JH as good an owner as he has been might have used up his usefulness, and his commitment to winning.
  16. Old Red
    They could have signed Mookie, and they chose not to. They could have signed Bogey, and chose not to. So far they haven’t signed Raffy, because they have chosen not to, and to you no one is to blame for that, and to me the Red Sox are, and will be worse off for doing so, and a better ranking for the farm will not save them.
  17. Old Red
    Putting the blame where blame should be, and yes it does matter. The Red Sox created the mess themselves.
  18. Old Red
    Dugy for Mookie was not acceptable. Botching up the Bogey situation , and getting a comp pick was not acceptable, and not resigning Raffy, and only getting a comp pick would be unacceptable, but all would be what the Red Sox deserve.
  19. Old Red
    Once again Seabold, or Stinkin Winkin are not John Lester.
  20. Old Red
    Your not really comparing these ham, and eggers to Petey are you? I gave up on Duran, Downs, and Franchy too. Petey was a special case which is more the exception, and not the rule.
  21. Old Red
    I don’t root against anybody. That includes Bloom. If Bloom fails the Red Sox fail.
  22. Old Red
    Stinkin Winkin, and Seabold yes.
  23. Old Red
    Starter depth may be good, but quantity doesn’t always equate to quality, which I believe this is the case here. Stinkin Winkin, and Seabold are only #10, or #11 starters, and are only useable in situations like last year when starters are depleted, and only as a last option.
  24. Old Red
    No on Rondon, but I’m just saying with building a bridge on a bunch of young prospects/suspects who may never turn out is taking a big chance, and dreaming. Even Bello at this point is nothing more than promise.
  25. Old Red
    I don’t know what the holdup is on him signing, and maybe it’s years, but I think it’s more than what Kluber got.
