    This has already been gone over 1000 times on here. A player won’t play where he is needed? Did Cora say Raffy was needed at 1B? NO! Cora is too chicken to ask Raffy to play a new position. I know that’s what you believe to fit your constant bad narrative on Raffy after you preached Devers Forevers for years many times over. I don’t think Cora was chicken at all, but didn’t think Raffy would be a good 1B, and didn’t see it benefiting the team. Why to put a lesser bat at DH? Also was 100% behind Raffy telling Brez to do his job. The Red Sox wouldn’t be in such a need of big bats in the lineup if Raffy was still there now would there? That’s all on Brez 100%.👋

    I agree with most except for the Devers part. I blame Brez 100% for the way the fiasco was handled, and what was handled, and if the Red Sox don’t grossly overpay like the Red Sox already did for 1 year of Bregman, and Bring Bregman back it will all be for a 1, and done, and will be worse than the Mookie fiasco.

    So when you say you’re thinking Brez likes The Big o more than some of the other SP depth you have inside info? When you say I doubt they trade the Great Sandoval you have inside info? How about a package of Sandoval, Hicks, and Masa? I’ll have to check BTV to see what’s an overpayment, and then let’s TARDE.🤓

    Wow! Your analysis is that thinking something means you have an inside info? Really? You seem to think that signing an injured Hendricks with the intention of making him the closer was a good idea, which isn’t surprising at all' and if Thinking something is having inside info then I’ve seen a lot more inside info from some on here that have been wrong a lot more than me.🤭🙈👋.

    I think Brez had a big Brain Fart when he signed Sandoval just like he did when he signed Liam Hendricks with the idea of him being the closer last year. Luckily Chapman who wasn’t intended to have such a big roll bailed him, and the Red Sox out Big time.

    That’s what I said there there was endless possibilities after Cro Man, BBB, and Gray. I don’t think they would have treaded for the BIG o if they didn’t intend to start him, so right now I only see 1 spot open in the starting rotation providing all make it through ST healthy, which after the last few years will be a big thing in itself.

    Not everyone likes spaghetti though.🤮

    Ok we won’t use the word lock, and we’ll go with inside track, which I don’t believe he has either. Sandoval has a career 19-45 record, and I know record isn’t everything, but, he’s NEVER had a winning season. A Career ERA over 4, and three of those seasons over 5. I don’t care what other stat you want to throw out there to me he’s still an $18M waste of money.. I do agree on Cro Man, Gray, and Bello, but outside of those 3 there are endless possibilities.

    Every story I read about the trade said the Password was the #3 prospect including NESN, so they All must have been wrong?🤔
  10. Old Red
    Buhler was not quality that some liked so much on here?🤫
  11. Old Red
    As I’ve said before an $18M waste, and definitely not a lock for a starting spot.
  12. Old Red
    I don’t think the great Sandoval that gets so much ink on here is locked in to anything at all.
  13. Old Red
    What a great problem to have so many starting pitchers you don’t know what to do with them all, but as we’ve seen the last few years with all the bad injury Ju Ju you may have a need for them all when it’s all said and done.
  14. Old Red
    Just another in a long list of coming off an injury. Hopefully he’s at least done rehabbing as he did make some starts last year. MEH.
  15. Old Red
    Brez sure isn’t afraid to trade off some top Suspects.
  16. Old Red
    On NESN it said they project him as a bottom of the rotation starter. Another comment said they traded a #3 prospect for a bottom of the rotation starter, which didn’t compute to making much sense.🤔
  17. Old Red
    To TARDE, or not TARDE that is the question.🤔
  18. Old Red
    I would TARDE for them all.
  19. Old Red
    And after all that he’s where I said he should be after 2021 in the backend of the BP, and those not blaming his injuries on being a SP are speculating. All I know the only years he’s stayed healthy is when he just stayed in the BP, and that’s not speculating.
  20. Old Red
    It may be early for you, but not for me, because as I’ve said before pretty much no one is untouchable to me, and that’s not the same.
  21. Old Red
    How is to early to tell writing them off? You guys get all excited about any Suspect that shows any kind of life in the Minors. I on the other hand to not until say it with me now until they produce in a Big league uniform, or are traded for someone who does.
  22. Old Red
    Whitlock has an arm for a late inning BP guy, which is where I said he should have stayed after the 2021 season. Bard also should have stayed in the BP. Not all good arms are meant to be starters. Unless you’re Hicks of course.
  23. Old Red
    I get that, but just, because they are cheap doesn’t mean they are going to be that good. I believe that’s why Houck, and Whit were put into the rotation when they did, and why despite Whit kept getting injured they kept him in the rotation, because he was a cheap option.
  24. Old Red
    We agree.👍
  25. Old Red
    OMG! You telling me that it’s changed today that after 35 combined innings of two pitches that you can tell already if they are going to be any good, or not? 🙈👋
