    The WL column has this year, and will going forward. I only consider myself a amateur sleuth myself, but I can’t speak for the rest.
  2. Old Red
    And you are going on what evidence that they do?
  3. Old Red
    I realize that, but the big question is do they. If the trade deadline is any indication I’m not so sure. As I have voiced many times I’m not in the Bloom I trust camp, and to me this off season will go a long way in showing if Bloom is a Boy Wonder, or a Boy Blunder.

    For someone who’s big on how much money there is to spend, and if JH has to pay any tax, or not it would just seem to me you would have to know how much Bogey, and Raffy would cost, or if anything at all, which would mean more money to spend, or less money to spend, before you could move forward, but maybe that’s just me, and how I would do things. It seems to me at the moment the Red Sox don’t have anymore of a plan now than they did at the trade deadline, and are looking for that 3rd option at the fork in the road.
  5. Old Red
    You dodged the question. Do YOU think the Bogey, and Raffy contracts should be known, and settled by now, and don’t you think it has to be known before you can do anything else going forward?? We already know it hasn’t been done.
  6. Old Red
    Like I’ve been asking right along don’t you think the Raffy, and the Bogey situations should have been known by now? I don’t see how you can plan going forward without it being known.
  7. Old Red
    Raffy will get a raise in Arb anyways.
  8. Old Red
    Even if you were to give both $30M/yr it’s not like you would be paying them each $30M more.
  9. Old Red
    It’s not my intent to pick apart what you say, but you go deeper into things than most, and have more to say, so there is more to look at, and no I’m not saying it’s a bad thing.
  10. Old Red
    Do you think the Red Sox would be worse off if they don’t sign Bogey, and Raffy?
  11. Old Red
    Way to early to tell on Casas, but I don’t think he was ready for the big time. At the moment he’s making JBJ’s bat look good. Hype, and he’s had plenty does not always meet expectations.
  12. Old Red
    If Bloom is thinking like you to 2024, and beyond how come 3 years ago he wasn’t thinking about 2022, and beyond like what to do with Bogey, and Raffy situations, and all the expiring contracts? He certainly hasn’t done much of anything to alleviate the problem, and now you say the Sox have to look to 2024, and beyond. Not much Baseball sense to me.
  13. Old Red
    All of these problems have been coming for a few years now, and Bloom has done nothing to alleviate any of this. Bogey, and Raffy one way of the other should have been worked by now, but it has not. Who has said that if Red Sox just sign Bogey, or Raffy it will improve the team? Of course you are not saying the team could get a lot worse if they don’t. You keep saying we like you are part of the management team worrying about re-setting the tax at any time. How the team gets better is up to Bloom, and it sounds like to me you don’t think he can make the team better with all that has to be done. If you don’t think the team will be worse off without Bogey, and Raffy then we certainly have a big disagreement, because I think the team won’t be as good just like without Betts.
  14. Old Red
    Like I have said many time what is important is the present, which at the moment is 2022, which is for all intent, and purpose is a lost season, so when the season is over we move on to 2023, which will then be important. 2024, and beyond is a long time off, and most don’t think about rebuild, cliffs, or anything else. That’s your thing, and that is right for you, but some have completely different ways to look at things, and that is right for them.
  15. Old Red
    Did not resigning Betts make the team better? Not resigning Bogey, and Raffy could make the team a lot worse. Are you going to get two players, who are as good as these two, and be able to hack it playing in Boston, and how much would that cost?
  16. Old Red
    That is very evident.
  17. Old Red
    So signing Story wasn’t to help in 2022, or 2023, or any other move? Huh? Has anyone told you this, or is this just an opinion? So the Sox were to take two years off, and hopefully be good in 2024. WOW!
  18. Old Red
    The euphoria of winning a ring only last for so long. Winning a ring last year would not make it all right this year to have a losing record like they have.
  19. Old Red
    If fans tighten the belt JH will notice too.
  20. Old Red
    2018 did not carry over to 2019, and even 2019 did not carry over to 2020, and thankfully 2020 did not carry over to 2021. The Red Sox championships under Henry have been great, but all the last place finishes have been not. This year has been like no others in recent memory especially with all the injuries, and playing more of the Woo Sox than wanting to.
  21. Old Red
    4-5, and 2 steps back. 4 games from 500 5 games from getting out of last place in the Div. Bring on the big boys, but time is running out.
  22. Old Red
    Bottom line this team is a losing team with a LOSING RECORD, and it doesn’t really matter which position they would end up in. Not good no matter how you slice, and dice it.
  23. Old Red
    I have said all along $165M/6 starting at $25M, and increasing each year to $30M.
  24. Old Red
    I wouldn’t put Whitlock in the same class as Bogey, and Raffy.
  25. Old Red
    When all came out it seems like there was some missed communication with the agent.
