I would say that sums it up pretty well. It’s like the kid who says you have to play my way, or I’ll take my toys, and go home.
-
Now that was well written, and will definitely put you in the top spot for poster of the year. Of course I’m sure there will be a big rebuttal coming your way, but big will not be good.
-
I don’t believe anyone will play the proverbial violin for JH, and especially if Bogey, and or Raffy aren’t resigned it will be the opposite.
-
Agree, and I don’t believe Henry was in on bringing JBJ back to Boston either.
-
He used to say as he did back in the day that LL runs the Red Sox, but lots have changed since even the CC signing, and contracts have gone up big time, and the Red Sox have been burned more times then not over some bad signings have they not?
-
What he doesn’t get is that when he’s calling out other fans, because they wail, weep, and bawl he is doing the same thing. A big nerve has been struck, and a tantrum ensues. Hilarious to watch actually. How can those bad, bad fans not think like him? Pretty easy actually. Do you think fans are out there weeping in their pillow at night, because a fire sale might happen? Oh the other hand I can imagine a poster weeping in his pillow, because the fire sale didn’t happen. Sad, but true.
-
But through all of that it is Henry who writes the checks, and has the final decision, and that has been the answer all along, and still is.
-
Spin away to fit your narrative on this. Who said Henry doesn’t take advice from anyone? The answer is wait for it NO ONE. Henry has the final answer on if the check will clear, or not, so no matter who he has negotiate for him is maybe the irrelevant part, so you may have something right. I’m sure some are better negotiators though than others.
-
You still don’t get that Henry the guy with the checkbook, and the most important is still there, and he is the one that says yes, or no. Henry’s underlings doesn’t matter. The only thing different is Henry didn’t meet Bogey out in the parking lot like he did Lester. Maybe the parking lot attendant has changed. Does that count?
-
No it is not, but when you call out legions of fans as crybabies, because they don’t think like you, and you think it’s, because of them the Red Sox didn’t do what you wanted them to do like a fire sale that speaks volumes, and it’s not the first time he has called out fans as crybabies either.
-
Lester is not irrelevant, because JH is still the owner, and it was JH who met Lester out in the parking lot, and it is Still JH who writes the checks, so that being the case JH was, and STILL is the most important in the organization, and last I looked is still there. Bogey made the decision to resign with Boston before, and it will be Bogey’s decision again to stay, or leave Boston.
-
Agree, or any other impactful player either. Hope you like leftovers.
-
Correa is pretty good, but they also has a pretty good SS ready to take his place.
-
You have your whack a doodle take, and I’ll keep mine. Past Red Sox history like with Lester to me is the same thing, so coming out with a low offer would not be any kind of surprise, and nor would it be any kind of surprise the Red Sox would say how bad they want to keep Bogey for PR purposes. I don’t think it has anything to do with if Bogey will change positions either, and to think the Red Sox would pay even more money for Correa, who has no ties, or tangibles to Boston like Bogey does to me is a pipe dream. Since I’m supposed to assume I know everything I’m sure all my assumptions are correct. The part that doesn’t make any sense is why would the Red Sox make an offer that low if they really wanted to keep Bogey in the first place? I think no I know Bogey’s reaction to the offer told most that the reported offer was true.
-
Agree 100%, and especially future HOF.
-
Ah the Crybaby Fans comment the gift that keeps on giving. We consider the source, and move along, because complaining about other fans, because they don’t want to give up sounds like being a crybaby to me. Cheese with that whine?
-
And now the big question is if the Red Sox, and Raffy so far apart that they don’t think they can sign him do you trade him this off season? Trading now may be better for the team in the long run, but not good for the PR especially if Bogey leaves too.
-
3 future HOF.
-
I haven’t heard anyone refute the low offer either. We have always differed on this, where you think Bogey should have come back with a counter offer, and my stance has been the offer was way to low to warrant a counter offer.
-
Are the Red Sox going to outbid other teams for him?
-
Is this a trick question? The answer is pretty obvious, and already answered.
-
I would say this is mostly on JH, but I don’t know if Bloom was specifically told what offer to give Bogey last offseason. At any rate that sent a very bad message especially to Bogey.
-
The fan base should have learned from the Lester situation, and also the lowball offer to Bogey last offseason to not get their hopes up.
-
Probably like the kind of talks of offering Mookie $300M when they knew he wasn’t going to take it.
-
Yes, and yes.
