    Still going with the conspiracy theory, and that’s all it is that JH, and his dummy had no intention of signing Bogey, and just lied to the fans as a payback. I on the other hand still believe the Red Sox wanted to resign Bogey, but just misjudged the room, and the value of Bogey, and just botched the whole thing when they let Bogey get to FA. I believe JH relied on the bad info Bloom gave him, and when it was found out it was to late, and to expensive. Bloom botched this up from day 1. Of course if you believe in Bloom it just has to be the Red Sox didn’t really want Bogey in the first place, and not Bloom is just a dummy, which is what I’m going with.

    I would want to see the scouting notes of all major league teams myself, and why they all offered less money than the Red Sox. Maybe the Bloomer thought this would appease some fans for watching Bogey walk out the door.
  3. Old Red
    The other alternative would be to blame bloom, and the media is just an easier target especially if you don’t think Bloom is in over his head. Deny, deny accuse.

    Being cheap on homegrown future HOF stars is stupid. Spending $100M+ on a unproven Major League player is also stupid. It’s easy to do if you want to see it.
  5. Old Red
    The media, and the spoiled, crybaby fans are the ones who have gotten this thing right. The Red Sox FO better known as dumb, and dumber are the ones who have gotten things wrong, and Bloom has been perfect for the part.

    I believe Peter Abraham yes I do, and it’s a fact when the offers started, and when the contract was agreed to, which was at warp speed especially when dealing with Boris.
  7. Old Red
    And The Mupprt Kennedy was still at it yesterday at the Jansen intro. He needs to be yanked off the stage.
  8. Old Red
    I agree, and I think Franchy Strangeglove, and Duran The Butterfly Man were auditioning.

    Stupid? Let me tell you what’s stupid. Trading a guy coming off a 96 RBI season with two arb years left for someone who the Red Sox never would have resigned in in the first place for the contract he signed for, but took him on a year later at a higher price, and was so good he couldn’t hit his weight, and they had to release him. That was stupid. Watching Franchy Strange Glove try to play 1B, and Duran, Duran The Butterfly Man try to play CF as long as the Red Sox did that at times looked like the Bananas Baseball Team, and didn’t do anything about it until it was to late was stupid. Then we come to not putting any SERIOUS effort into resigning two homegrown future HOF stars who have proven they can play in Boston at a high rate, and then spin, and grin about it, and take the fans as fools to believe it is not just stupid, but ignorant.

    Would rather the Sox been aggressive on the pitcher instead of the OF if they were going to take a dip in the Japanese waters.
  11. Old Red
    According to Peter Abraham Yoshida was signed a couple hours after he was posted, which has Never happened before with a Japanese player, and that the Red Sox were way above all the other teams, and that’s why Boris jumped so quick at the offer, because he knew he wasn’t going to get a better one. The Red Sox over payed for someone unproven, and we’re going to underpay for Bogey for all that he had Accomplished for the Red Sox.
  12. Old Red
    At least he’s better than Arroyo who they put out there last year.
  13. Old Red
    That would explain it all wouldn’t it. Maybe they picked the wrong guy.
  14. Old Red
    I get all this, but what purpose does it serve to come out with that ridiculous lowball offer that I believe happened 100%, and that narrative will continue to play no matter if other believes it, or not. What do the Red Sox gain by doing that?
  15. Old Red
    The one homegrown they decided to keep.
  16. Old Red
    Agree with most except I think Bloom not reading the market correctly had more to do with Bogey leaving. I believe JH gets his info from Bloom, but it wouldn’t surprise me either that Henry didn’t want to pay even $150M to retain Bogey.
  17. Old Red
    I think this is the more likely scenario, and just Bloom being in way over his head. Like I’ve said many times before that doesn’t really qualify as a offer as ridiculous as it was, and certainly didn’t warrant any counter offer. Dumb, and dumber, which led to a bummer.
  18. Old Red
    If this was done with analytics how did that work out?
  19. Old Red
    Actions speak louder than words, and that ridiculous offer last offseason spoke loud, and clear. Their words were hollow.
  20. Old Red
    I would worry more about the lies that Kennedy, and Bloom are spewing that what the media, or Boris is throwing out.
  21. Old Red
    I keep saying JH is not the same JH as he used to be. Where’s the JH that dropped into the Felger, and Mass show doing a live interview. Now all he does is send his mouthpiece Sam Kennedy out there to do the talking, and his Dummy (Bloom) to let his homegrown stars do the walking.
  22. Old Red
    The fact Boris signed him so quick sounds like he thinks it’s the best deal he’ll get. Sounds like overpaying to me for a $100M unknown.
  23. Old Red
    Did the Red Sox drop down a notch? What a feel good story.
  24. Old Red
    Just a losing team that at times last year looked like the Bananas trying to play D, which was bad enough for me.
  25. Old Red
    And don’t forget Bloom has one arm tied behind his back, because of the budget, and the other arm tied behind his back, because that bad DD wiped out the farm.
