Maybe Raffy too. I’m just saying to not go all in is a waste to me. Analyze anyway you want, and disagree all you want.
-
Bogey, and Raffy especially. Bogey could have been settled last off season.
-
He’s had three years to not let all of this contracts stuff come due at once.
-
No!
-
Bogey, Raffy, and Story, and hopefully Casas is the foundation. There is no time like the present in my opinion.
-
Look at it anyway you want, but resigning Bogey, and Raffy are priority. This just all of a sudden just pop up, and Bloom yes has had 3 years to plan for this, and what to do with all the expiring contracts. Bogey especially should have been taken care of one way, or the other last off season, and Raffy one way, or the other should be taken care of now. Bloom has let it get to this point, and all the holes that have to be filled.
-
I agree with what you are saying, but I just don’t see waisting a prime year of someone like Raffy, or Story, or even Bogey for that matter, because you don’t know what the future will hold.
-
If Bogey, and Raffy are resigned I don’t think you are going to be signing any other big contracts now anyway, so trades will have to be made. If Bogey for now especially is not signed than that changes things. I understand fully if Bogey, and Raffy are not resigning that most of the blame will be on JH.
-
What, and how many are you planning on?
-
And neither is Kike.
-
Yes the natives are restless, and there is NO time like the PRESENT to go all in. Like Mic said to Rocky in Rocky II. What are we waiting for?! You don’t take years off just to hope that things will get better down the road. If Bloom can’t do it then let’s get someone who can.
-
Standing order.
-
Not me, but some are OK with that.
-
Oh no you called Kike nothing but a backup, before he came to Boston. Moon is not going to like that, but I do agree though.
-
We can’t do that! We have to wait for 2-3 more years.
-
Yes Vaz is, but if he came back to Boston he would resume being the #1 catcher. Like I keep saying Reese, and Wong are nothing, but backups.
-
Last year was last year, but the limitations on Kike’s hot streak certainly didn’t help him, or carry into this year. Kike sucked from day 1 this year, and long before he got hurt. He really didn’t make it over 200 until the end of May, so while it was great what he did in the 2021 postseason he was just the opposite this year, and just pretty much sucked.
-
Vaz had a lot of big clutch hits though.
-
I’m not talking about anybody named Murphy. I’m saying all we have are backup catchers now, and need a #1.
-
How about a #1 catcher? All they have is backups now.
-
There has been rumors of seeing Bloom driving a sanitation truck in other cities around MLB.
-
The Red Sox were going to need a 4th OF to start the season anyways, but Bloom exasperated the problem with the trade for JBJ that made the OF go from a need to a higher need, and that also cost more.
-
Duran, Downs, and Franchy to me is 3 names that could just go away.
-
I don’t know why Duran Duran The Butterfly Man is even mentioned anymore, but even as a 4th OF for the Ref I think you still need a plan B for that.
-
I did not say you claimed anything about JBJ, and was my addressing the overall problem, and I agree with you that Bloom, and Cora FU.
