    You left Pivetta out of the starting rotation, and definitely a BIG no on Stinkin Winkin.
  2. Old Red
    Sounds like 3 years. Good for Vaz. $30M.
  3. Old Red
    Payroll doesn’t necessary mean you are a big time player, or should I say a high payroll does not necessarily mean you are a big time player either.

    To keep blaming DD for not locking them up is fine, but it doesn’t take away any of the responsibilities of Bloom. It’s an undisputed fact Bloom had three years to work on Bogey, and Raffy, and what he should have done in those 3 years is the question.
  5. Old Red
    I just believe that Bloom just read the room so bad on where the price would go on Bogey compared to the thinking that they were never going to pay Bogey $150M-$200M. Bloom reports to Henry, but i believe Henry gets his info from Bloom, and Bloom’s info was so far off that the whole thing was BOTCHED, and most of the blame goes to Bloom.

    Seems to me Bloom has had 3 years to work on getting Raffy, and Bogey signed. BOTCHED not 1, but 2.
  7. Old Red
    And to those who say it’s alright to wait to be better in 2-3 years providing Raffy is resigned the Red Sox would be waisting away some of Raffy’s prime years.

    It’s getting harder for me to listen to OB, and his cast of merry men.
  9. Old Red
    Agree with this, and it will be interesting to see how ticket sales are before the season starts.

    Bingo! Some are satisfied with the four championships the Red Sox have won since JH took over, and so am I, but like I keep saying all the last place finishes are not all right, and to me should not happen with a payroll that the Red Sox, have, and had.
  11. Old Red
    All I said was the Red Sox had the lowest attendance in 2022 since Henry took over, and that’s a loss of money to Henry,and I think last year’s performance on the field had something to do with that. That’s it.
  12. Old Red
    Do you think Red Sox attendance dropping last year was, because the Red Sox were so much fun to watch. What’s not to like when you could see Franchy Strangeglove try to play 1B, or Duran, Duran The Butterfly Man try to play CF, or Arroyo try to play RF. Not even mentioning they were a losing team to boot, so I would say Bloom had his hands all over the drop in attendance.
  13. Old Red
    I’m sure all the returning players in the clubhouse are just thrilled Bogey won’t be there anymore, and how he was treated going out the door especially Raffy. Bogey was the leader in the clubhouse, and outside of the clubhouse even when Mookie was there, so his leadership was still there last summer. What we do know about last summer, and the one thing that Sam Kennedy got right was that himself, Cora, and Bloom ALL FAILED last summer.

    Worst attendance since JH took over in a non Covid year. I didn’t say what place in attendance they finished, but it was a drop, and a drop is $$$.
  15. Old Red
    We don’t know if Mayer will ever be ready, or as good as his hype, and of course Bogey would have a no trade anyways, so it wouldn’t be that simple.
  16. Old Red
    Of course to some it just has to be the Red Sox didn’t think Bogey was worth any kind of contract, and if they keep saying it enough it will be true, but I think it’s quite possible, and more likely than not that Bloom just didn’t read the room right, and BOTCHED the whole thing, and I think that dumb, dumbfounded look on Blooms face says it all.
  17. Old Red
    I don’t think JH standards are a losing, last place in the Div team, and a drop in attendance, so that script has to change.
  18. Old Red
    Some keep saying that the Red Sox Brass didn’t think Bogey was worth the money, and I disagree 100%. He wasn’t worth $280M, or 11 years, but he was worth 6-7 yrs $150M-$200M, which should have been offered to him last off season, but I just don’t think the Red Sox the money would get anywhere near where it got to, and just BOTCHED the whole thing, and I blame Bloom mostly for that, because I’m guessing JH was getting his info from Bloom. Bogeys tangibles to Boston, which doesn’t show up on any analytics sheet was worth $90M in itself. Plain, and simple Bloom botched this from day 1 that he’s had three years to work on.
  19. Old Red
    At least I didn’t believe like you did that the Bogey camp should have countered the Red Sox generous offer last offseason. It was laughable then, and if possible even more laughable now. I suppose the Red Sox should have countered the last San Diego offer too. Wow!
  20. Old Red
    After the Bogey spin, and grin is anyone going to believe anything they say anymore?
  21. Old Red
    Bloom The Rapper! My name is Chaim, and I have no shame in Botching up the game. My last names Bloom, and I bring Gloom, and Doom. Some say it’s all not so much funny But don’t blame me I’m just Henry’s Dummy.
  22. Old Red
    I agree, but do they trade Raffy like they did with Mookie?
  23. Old Red
    And now we wait for chapter 3, and the Devers saga on what kind of storyline will be drummed up there.
  24. Old Red
    I said that the day the offer was made, and all Kennedy, and Bloom were doing was spinning, and grinning this offseason, and either thought the fans were blind, and dumb for not seeing through the charade, or Kennedy, and Bloom was that dumb themselves. The hard part was to determine if that dumb dumbfounded look on Bloom’s face was actually acting, or not.
  25. Old Red
    Imagine what Bogey would have been offered if they hadn’t wanted him back so bad? I believe 100% in that reported offer. Bogey, laughed, cried, and then he got pissed.
