    Tolle wasn’t as highly thought of, or as good when the trade was discussed, so to me it wasn’t that big of a deal to trade him at the time. Bres must have thought the Red Sox had enough pitching without him. He wanted Marte.
  2. Old Red
    As I said many times earlier DD should have given him a better 6 years deal at the time with no opt-out.
  3. Old Red
    As I said earlier he would have to criticize Breslow as being absurd if it was true as he sees it.
  4. Old Red
    Tolle, and Early were not discussed in tandem for Marte. It was one, or the other.🤭
  5. Old Red
    Extreme to who? Obviously not Breslow. What was extreme was not wanting to include Mayer, but shipping him off to San Fran for a relief pitcher later on.
  6. Old Red
    I agree.
  7. Old Red
    True, but Houck, and Kut Man didn’t fare well either after their first heavy workload.
  8. Old Red
    As with all pitchers health is the key. He had his heaviest workload this year, so we’ll have to wait and see how, or if it affects him next year. It did Crochet, but Crochet pitched a lot more innings.

    Going back to last season, and the start of this season I think the Red Sox had Early ahead of Tolle. Early started that postseason game against the Yankees last year, and Started this season on the 26 ahead of Tolle. They think differently now.
  10. Old Red
    He’s trying to decide if he should criticize Bres, or defend Bres. It’s quite a conundrum for him.🤫
  11. Old Red
    It was Tolle, or Early, not both, and certainly not all three. Then during the season he trades Mayer for a relief pitcher. Rember also that Brez wanted to sub Arias instead of Mayer to Arizona.
  12. Old Red
    I think Breslow is asking the same question.🤔
  13. Old Red
    They named what Arizona wanted, and they named what Boston offered, so I think this report was pretty legit.

    According to Jim Rice who talked with Mookie before Mookie got traded to the Dodgers Mookie had no bad feelings about playing in Boston.
  15. Old Red
    The reports were that it was a so called blockbuster, but fell through when the Red Sox wouldn’t include Mayer. Supposedly Arizona wanted Mayer, and Tolle, or Early, and the Red Sox countered with Arias, and Tolle, or Early, and Arizona said no.
  16. Old Red
    Well said.
  17. Old Red
    I just said Brez liked Mayer more than Cora, which I don’t think was very much at all. I think the Red Sox got tired of Mayer not staying on the field, and wasn’t that impressed when he was. Maybe also got Mayer out of town away from little A. I think it all added up.
  18. Old Red
    I think Brez liked Mayer more than Cora did.
  19. Old Red
    I know he’s hit 17 dingers last year, but he bounced around from team to team, and position to position. He’ll get a chance next year if not traded again. Time will tell.
  20. Old Red
    I agree, and what made it even worse was when Gio went down.
  21. Old Red
    Don’t the Sox owe $10M on his buyout?
  22. Old Red
    Oh I got that part too. The team even without Cro Man this year wasted some good starting pitching, but the Big run producing bat in the middle of the order is still missing. Alonso was out there last year, and i wouldn’t have wanted to give him 5 years either, but he was definitely needed now.
  23. Old Red
    Train the players to get them over the hump?🙈
  24. Old Red
    Tito, Cora, and even Farrell won on their first try. I guess Tracy just wasn’t to the task playbook, or not.
  25. Old Red
    Those indecisive check swings can be harmful to your health.
