At least he’s better than Arroyo who they put out there last year.
-
That would explain it all wouldn’t it. Maybe they picked the wrong guy.
-
I get all this, but what purpose does it serve to come out with that ridiculous lowball offer that I believe happened 100%, and that narrative will continue to play no matter if other believes it, or not. What do the Red Sox gain by doing that?
-
The one homegrown they decided to keep.
-
Agree with most except I think Bloom not reading the market correctly had more to do with Bogey leaving. I believe JH gets his info from Bloom, but it wouldn’t surprise me either that Henry didn’t want to pay even $150M to retain Bogey.
-
I think this is the more likely scenario, and just Bloom being in way over his head. Like I’ve said many times before that doesn’t really qualify as a offer as ridiculous as it was, and certainly didn’t warrant any counter offer. Dumb, and dumber, which led to a bummer.
-
If this was done with analytics how did that work out?
-
Actions speak louder than words, and that ridiculous offer last offseason spoke loud, and clear. Their words were hollow.
-
I would worry more about the lies that Kennedy, and Bloom are spewing that what the media, or Boris is throwing out.
-
I keep saying JH is not the same JH as he used to be. Where’s the JH that dropped into the Felger, and Mass show doing a live interview. Now all he does is send his mouthpiece Sam Kennedy out there to do the talking, and his Dummy (Bloom) to let his homegrown stars do the walking.
-
The fact Boris signed him so quick sounds like he thinks it’s the best deal he’ll get. Sounds like overpaying to me for a $100M unknown.
-
Did the Red Sox drop down a notch? What a feel good story.
-
Just a losing team that at times last year looked like the Bananas trying to play D, which was bad enough for me.
-
And don’t forget Bloom has one arm tied behind his back, because of the budget, and the other arm tied behind his back, because that bad DD wiped out the farm.
-
Like I have said many times this forum is just a small sample size of Red Sox fans, and I’ll just take a wild guess that more fans are more outraged than satisfied with the Bloom era.
-
Incompetent? Some don’t think aBloom is that at all, and if the Red Sox just played in another Div they wouldn’t have finished as far as far as 21 games out of ist place.
-
I care about the budget about has much as JH does about the fan who has to pay the highest priced tickets in MLB, and out of the kindness of his heart he increased the tickets even more next year.
-
Ah Chaim Bloom playing Jethro Bodine being a double agent. So now we have Bloom being Henry’s Dummy, and being a Secret Agent Man. What could be next?
-
I’m not a Kraft fan, or even a Pats fan for that matter, and I agree with what you say, but the point be is that to some no one gets a lifetime pass, and that includes JH.
-
No lifetime pass is right, and like I’ve mentioned before Bob Kraft of the Pats is a good example of that, and JH is not in his class. It may be the same JH, but the game, and money being thrown around may have passed Henry bye. Having a $200M+ payroll today is not the same thing as it was in 2018.
-
They also had Peña ready to step in for Correa.
-
When you get as far as a last arb year then it’s to late to do anything good, or sensible.
-
I think a lot has changed even since 2018. The signings the Red Sox did in the past like Sale, Price, CC, Agon, and even Manny would not be done today, and maybe that’s a good thing, because the money part has gone up so far out of whack.
-
There is no upside, and how many other big market teams are doing this?
-
In Boston I would say most likely a pigeon.
