    That’s fine on Abreu, but when will he ever get close to 650? I would rather have someone who plays everyday, and preferably a RHB.
  2. Old Red
    In other words he spews out a bunch of words, but really doesn’t say very much.
  3. Old Red
    We didn’t keep Mookie, Bogey, or Raffy, so Duran, or Abreu shouldn’t be untouchable, or even cause any worry on if either one is kept, or not. Let’s just bring everyone back.🙈

    I guess the way I look at it is if the Red Sox spend $40M on 1 player it makes less money available for other needs.
  5. Old Red
    Agree, and definitely not any longer than 3 years.
  6. Old Red
    He was never worth $40M. As I said when the Red Sox signed him he was no Mike Schmidt. Bregman also did his best work batting behind Raffy.

    I liked Koufax, and the Dodgers went against the Yankees in the 1963 WS, so I started liking the Dodgers then. I liked Gibson too except for 1967.
  8. Old Red
    From the Tigers, or the Red Sox?🤔
  9. Old Red
    Mayer if healthy should be the SS no matter the coming, and going of anyone else IMO.
  10. Old Red
    Been a Dodger fan since the early 60’s watching Sandy Koufax, so love watching them in the postseason. Ring #4 for Mookie would be great.
  11. Old Red
    If Bregman opts out just say thanks, but NO thanks. Bregman has 2 yrs, and $80M on the table no matter how it’s constructed,and doesn’t deserve anymore than that, or for a longer time IMO. Some say he tailed off the last part of the season, but after his hot start, which was done batting behind Raffy he ended up BA wise at 273, which is his career average, and he hadn’t seen that since 2019. Offering him more than $80M, and for longer than 2 more years is not a good deal to me for the Red Sox looking at his whole body of work, and not just his hot start.

    I don’t believe the Red Sox ever made a serious play for Soto, the Yam Man, or even Monty a few years ago. Just like there haven’t been much of an effort at the trade deadline the past few years. Full throttle, or stuck throttle?
  13. Old Red
    I guess Paying him $12M+ too will be in his favor.
  14. Old Red
    I can see giving Sandoval a crack, but certainly not a lock. Like I said earlier a lot has changed since he was signed. When he was signed did anyone think Early would be starting a deciding game in the postseason against the Yankees?
  15. Old Red
    I agree. They have put 1 ND game just on Peacock the last few years, and even though I hated missing the game I’m not giving anymore of my money to watch a game.
  16. Old Red
    What has Sandoval done in his career to make him a lock for the rotation? A lot has changed since he was signed, and I don’t see Sandoval much more than a depth piece at this time.
  17. Old Red
    I’m not in much to the stats, and a grade. They’re either a good OF, or they’re not. Even when Duran catches fly ball sometimes the eye test shows you he bumbles, and stumbles around waiting for the ball to come down.
  18. Old Red
    I just think Brez wanted to get rid of Raffy so bad, and SF was willing to take on the whole contract.
  19. Old Red
    Duran regressed back to more like the Butterfly Man this past season.
  20. Old Red
    That I agree on.
  21. Old Red
    I think with Hicks it was more the Giants didn’t like what they saw in him more than Boston liked what they saw in him, and was just an unload for the Giants.
  22. Old Red
    Outside of Crochet, and Bello I’m not assuming any of those other guys healthy, or not will be in the rotation.
  23. Old Red
    I just don’t see the Red Sox going Large, and Long on anyone, so I think something like a Bregman type contract happening.
  24. Old Red
    Being big of body doesn’t help either.
  25. Old Red
    I agree on Mayer that there is NO plan for him having just a bench role next year, and if healthy he will have a starting role anywhere from 3B over to 2B. I would hope it would be at SS with Story sliding over to 2B regardless of what Bregman does. Of course it’s not a certainty that Story stays either. Casas is a different case altogether. If the Red Sox are counting on him, which is far from a certainty I don’t see another expensive 1B being signed, but they definitely need a plan B after a revolving door at 1B the last 3 years.
