Did not match the hype, and had some injuries, so I guess it depends on what good is.
-
Always iffy when signing someone from the orient. Suzuki had plenty of hype too, and didn’t set the league afire last year.
-
If you get 1 full year combined from Paxton, and Sale would be a bonus, and that’s a big if, so agree with the need of 2 starters. As they found out last year you can never have enough starters. Add Hill to the other two, and you may get a full year out of the three.
-
Agree 100%, and signing Bogey, and Raffy long term has to be done even if it cost more now than it would have before. The market has gotten bigger, and more expensive for everyone. The Yankees ponied up for Judge, and now it’s time for JH to do the same for Bogey, and Raffy.
-
Agree on Paxton, and there is always concern for Sale just being able to get to the mound.
-
Okay now we got an actual closer, and I’m thrilled with that. A for effort for Bloom. I still would like to see at least 1 more starter added, and put Whitlock back in the pen, which I’ve said it’s where he belongs, and then we still have to get some bats. I’m hoping Jansen still has something left in the tank.
-
Now you got 3 $300M contracts on the team, and they can all grow old together, which they will do very quickly, and with nothing to show for it.
-
At least 1 homegrown is staying home.
-
And I thought Bloom was waiting to the last very second, and run in, and snatch Judge away from everyone. Oh well back to the drawing board.
-
Judge to the Yankees at 9yr/ $360M.
-
And they haven’t paid Soto yet providing he wants to stay.
-
Getting rid of someone who has 96 RBI, and trading for someone who can’t even hit his weight, and paying more to boot is not a winning proposition any time, but Bloom did It anyway, and it worked so well Bloom released him during the season. The Bloom come off the vine on that one.
-
The Red Sox need someone who can field a winning, competitive team EVERY single year, and ANY year like last year is totally unacceptable. DD accomplished that in his 4 years, which Bloom can’t match in his 4 years. Cashman over Bloom anytime.
-
If that happens let me know, and I’ll tell you if he is impact, or not. Is Abreu a impact player? The Red Sox were $20M under the Astros.
-
The 1 yr contract ext they offered Bogey last year was the real slap in the face, and this is when this all should have been all worked out if the Red Sox were really serious. I wonder if Bloom made the offer with a straight face. My guess is yes.
-
Cashman got a 4yr ext with the Yankees. What are Bloom’s chances he gets the same in Boston?
-
Turner to Phillies somewhere around 11/$300M! Go DD!
-
But Bloom is in charge now, and DD didn’t have any losing last place in the Div finishes on his resume, and plus he has a ring to show for his tenure. Bloom has a wring around the tub.
-
No the Rangers aren’t ready, but the Red Sox aren’t the Rangers, and the Rangers have a owner who doesn’t care what he spends, and I think Henry now does plus those were longer term deals, and Verlander’s was a short deal for a good team better than the Red Sox.
-
I do remember, and that pales in comparison to the Sale extension. Theo made some blunders too.
-
I believe that’s the best this Yalie can do. The Beni trade was another that could have been better.
-
You only make a deal like that if you are ready to go for it all, and the Red Sox are a long ways away from that. Getting out of last place in the Div will be hard enough.
-
Agree, and always has been. I still say DD could have done better, but we will never know.
-
Could he have hit 200 in AAA?
-
I don’t want Swanson either, and like I keep saying the Red Sox are not going to outbid any teams for any impact player.
