My main point is that Bloom up to this point doesn’t have as big a checkbook as Theo, and DD did, and has to make more with less. From what I saw is the Sox are at $209M for LT purposes, and I don’t think they will go much higher.
-
Interest is one thing, and making a serious bid is another. I was just listening to a talk show, and they said the Red Sox are cheap right now, and aren’t going to outbid anyone especially the Dodgers, or Yankees.
-
When you say spending $40M isn’t he just replacing contracts? It’s not like he’s adding $40M more to the payroll from last year, and like you said to fill 7-10 roster slot’s that’s not much money to work with.
-
Theo would not work for the allowance that Bloom gets for John Henry.
-
Bloom has already picked up 3 starters, so why do you think he’d trade for more?
-
What he almost got has pitched the last two years for the Dodgers, and nothing to brag about.
-
Get rid of Duggy already? He didn’t have as good a season last year as he did the year before, but he is never going to be as good as Mookie. As you saying Bloom didn’t do a good job in what he got back for Mookie? I have always thought he should have gotten some pitching back in the deal.
-
I said start the season. I didn’t go any further than game 1.
-
At the moment there is not a very good plan A, or B.
-
The way Cora talked today it sounds like as it stands now Kike will start in CF, and JBJ in right. Of course any additions, or injuries could change that.
-
Matt Olson to Braves.
-
2nd most innings in his career, but two previous years did not total 100 innings combined.
-
What’s the holdup with Suzuki? Process, or decision? He must know where he wants to go by now.
-
Think what you want, but it is most likely going to be a cluster either way. I think they should have scrapped the 162, and had the regular length ST, and then picked up from there.
-
That doesn’t mean the Red Sox will spend up to that.
-
Not with a shortened version this year.
-
Flip JBJ for more prospects? Who else do you think would take on JBJ , and his contract, and give you back prospects. That shows you how bad the Brewers wanted to unload him. The only way I see taking him would be to unload a contract worse than his.
-
Moon you have been wishing, and hoping for Bloom to make a trade not named JBJ, or sign a big FA since the end of last season, and I’m with you on that, but I still go back to the year end press conference by Kennedy, and Bloom, and I don’t think it’s going to happen. The Sox have signed a bunch of bargain basement pitchers, and got JBJ. You might not get much else.
-
Not to start the season?
-
Have to ask Bloom on this one. How many LH do we need in the pen?
-
Lesser of two evils I guess. DHern I know is young but it’s not like he hasn’t had chances. Bloom must like Diekman and that’s good enough for most. Me I’ll do a wait, and see. I’m more concerned what Barnes will do. Still waiting for contract info on Diekman?
-
I’ve been a Red Sox fan for over 60 years, so I’m fully aware how many WS the Red Sox have won in that time frame. I never said Henry intentionally put on a s*** show, but the Bobby V year comes mighty close. Hopefully the moves the Red Sox have made this off season works out, and Diekman looks like a good pickup, but I’m not to impressed with the rest, and that goes for JBJ. Time will tell, and there were some good hits last year with some of Bloom’s acquisitions, so hopefully he hits on some again.
-
I hope part of that rebuild is pitching.
-
Don’t make it sound like the Red Sox have have had good teams under Henry every year, and haven’t had some s*** shows in the last ten years. 93 L in 2012, and 91 L in 2014, and I believe one of those years was not only a s*** show, but a Clown show with Bobby V. If you are exited about the two lefties they picked up then good for you. No the players Bloom picks up doesn’t have to be $10M+, but it would be better to get out of the bargain basement, and I’m very well aware that if Houck, or Whitlock go into the starting rotation one of those bargain basement pitchers would go to the pen, but I think most on here we’re thinking, or hoping that the Sox would have done more than they have so far like a big FA signing, or trade.
-
We’ll find out in 3 weeks not only the plan got Barne’s, but Houck, and Whitlock as well.
