    That is true, but you also have to go outside most likely like David, and Manny on the 2007 team, David still on the 2013 team, and JD on the 2018 team. What’s plan B if most of these long awaited suspects don’t live up to the hype?
  2. Old Red
    Yes, and so far the two most prized suspects have been pretty much flops with the bats, and everyone including Brez knew they needed at least 1 more big production bat like JD who was added to the 2018 team.

    I fully understand this team is 5 games under 500, and if they can’t get above 500 no matter how close they are to a wildcard spot come trade deadline i wouldn’t do any buying, but if they are above 500, and in contention then I’m in on buying. What makes no sense is keep kicking the can down the road, and keep waiting for the hype of the suspects to actually lead to success on the field. I’ll say it again if you aren’t going to play to win then don’t play, and I think that’s where the players are most of the time. I also fully understand that up to now the Red Sox have pretty much been offensively challenged, and that’s why a bat, or two to go with the pitching could make a difference just like last year’s postseason where another bat was needed, and could have made a difference.

    And we all know the Red Sox are still looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road. You guys are so consumed with suspects you think the more the better. Like I asked how many years do you want to kick the can down the road. Hype, and hope on all these suspects may never lead to the success you’re hoping for.
  5. Old Red
    Well the deadline isn’t today.
  6. Old Red
    Agree 100%.

    Right now I’m only concerned about this season 2026. Who said anything about trading suspects for a BP piece? Who? Once again analyzing like someone else on here. If you are not going to play to win then why play at all? Would another bat have most likely have made a difference against the Yankees last year? 1 HR, or maybe just a single. Nobody is even suggesting constantly selling off suspects for BP pieces, but depending on who the bat was yes. This isn’t the 67, or 75 Red Sox where all the young homegrown talent is going to get you into the WS despite how much hype some of these suspects have.
  8. Old Red
    I get all that, but a postseason berth last year, and what would have helped beat the Yankees? How about a bat you know someone like Raffy.
  9. Old Red
    If I’m buying I’m buying for now, and if it carries into the future fine, but now would be my primary concern, and focus. How many more years do you want to kick the can down the road?
  10. Old Red
    It’s not worth it to you? What a loser attitude. LOSER, LOSER, LOSER. I wonder if the Red Sox players have the same attitude? I doubt it very much. Get in the postseason, and good pitching can take you a long way. Glad to know the Red Sox aren’t winning a ring, so might as well forfeit the rest on the season now, and go home.🤭🙈🤮

    Well said. I’ve been posting for some time now how many games the Red Sox are under 500, and today being 5 games under is the closest they have been recently, but they are still an under 500 team in a year where the league is weaker than weak, which makes living under the 500 mark as long as they have even worse. I guess it makes some feel better to say the Red Sox are close to a wildcard spot, but let’s get to 500 first, and if they can’t probably nothing else matters.
  12. Old Red
    Wow! A few days ago you were saying how absurd it was to put the Red Sox worst hitter meaning Duran in the leadoff spot. Saying Duran was the worst hitter was kind of harsh.🤔
  13. Old Red
    22-27 5 games under 500, which is still bad, but going with a very low bar this is the closest the Red Sox have been for awhile. It helped just sweeping a team as bad as they are, and losers of 9 of their last 10. Still 29th in HR, and RBI, and 28th in total bases per game. Those two run homers have won them the recent games though.

    Now up for the Red Sox #12 Breslow #12.
  15. Old Red
    I agree on Brez. I think most analysts especially AJ agree that Brez BOTCHED the Bregman’s negotiations from the first offer made, and then every move after that. That’s Brez #12 in your program.
  16. Old Red
    👍👍👍👏
  17. Old Red
    Whoever said 11 people were offered the job? Who said that? Kind of hard to offer the job to 11 people when you couldn’t even get 11 people to interview. That’s the MAIN point. Yes you will keep hearing like it, or not with the 12th pick in the 2023 HOBO draft the Red Sox selected Brez.😂
  18. Old Red
    The exact number might not be 12, but it’s pretty darn close. NG Falvey Gomes Fuld Daniels Hazen Sawdaye HILL Raquel These 9 all declined, and Click interviewed, and pulled himself out. I don’t know what point you were trying to conjure up, but you certainly DIDN’T have one. Come on man! I thought you were better than this..🙈
  19. Old Red
    I didn’t believe him when he said it, but it pretty funny that Sam says these things in the first place.
  20. Old Red
    So when Sam said Boston is the place where everyone would want to be before Brez was hired was just spin, and grin?🤔
  21. Old Red
    Story was a late signing, and as some theorized to appease the fans who were getting restless. Story fired his agent shortly after too, which led some to say that Story didn’t want to go to Boston anyway.
  22. Old Red
    KC in May. 8-39 with 19 K’S 1 HR 5 RBI. He doesn’t seem to be progressing very much, or at all.🤔
  23. Old Red
    It was more than a salary dump. It was more like Brez taking a dump.
  24. Old Red
    Trade deadlines for the Red Sox have been just a little bump in the road for quite some time now without the fork in the road. I don’t expect much to happen either way.
  25. Old Red
    Yea I don’t get that one.🤔
