    I don’t see Bloom any time soon pulling a Cashman, and saying what the offer was, but I agree.
  2. Old Red
    You’re right about Lester, and I hope you’re right about the offer to Bogey. I would hate to think that the Red Sox were that low to just offer Bogey to extend his present contract by 1 year, and just add $30M to it. Now if they wanted to add 3 more years at $30M I think that would be a reasonable offer. Probably wouldn’t be good enough, but at least to me would be a somewhat reasonable offer. As much as I would like to see Bogey stay I would not pay him for 8 yrs at $30M per.
  3. Old Red
    With the Sox past history with Lester, and the way Bogey reacted when asked about his contract, I’ll go with the Bogey camp for the moment.
  4. Old Red
    It was lower than lowballing. Like I read in a report that the hand writing isn’t on the wall, but is spray painted in fluorescent colors for Bogey.
  5. Old Red
    The last report I heard was that all the Red Sox were offering was an extra year on his existing contract of $30M to bring the total up to $90M. Who knows if the report is accurate, or not. That’s why it was good when Cashman came out, and said what the Yankees offered Judge.
  6. Old Red
    You may have no problem with the Sox offering Bogey 4 years $90M, but I’m sure Bogey did. You could tell in his interview that he sounded down, and dejected.
  7. Old Red
    I don’t think it means that at all. If the report was true about the $90M/4 then why bother with making the offer at all? That was worse than what they offered Lester. If Bogey would take 140/6 then I don’t think Story would have even been thought of by the Sox.
  8. Old Red
    Story should be down at the bottom of the order until he does get his timing, and certainly shouldn’t be hitting 3rd.
  9. Old Red
    I would do that over Arroyo in RF.
  10. Old Red
    NO.
  11. Old Red
    If that’s the reason then he never should have traded for JBJ in the first, and got someone who could play everyday.
  12. Old Red
    Why is Bloom making getting an actual backup RF so much harder than it needs to be? Of course it wouldn’t be so much of a problem if the Red Sox had a RF that didn’t need to be platooned.
  13. Old Red
    That could happen.
  14. Old Red
    How much more do you want to see? Bloom was in Detroit yesterday, and saw the mess he has created in RF, so let’s see if he finally does something about it. RF in Fenway will even be more of a problem for Arroyo.
  15. Old Red
    Bloom was in Detroit yesterday, so do you think he noticed how Arroyo chased those two balls down in RF?
  16. Old Red
    Whitlock had an easy 4 innings today against a weak hitting club, and gave up a game tying homer into his 3rd inning against the Yankees, so let’s see how he does his next 4-5 outings going 4-5 innings, before he gets anointed the next big starter. In a couple of weeks the Red Sox will have to get down to 13 pitchers, so some decisions will have to be made then.
  17. Old Red
    Cora said after the game that Whitlock was not coming into the game if still down 3-0.
  18. Old Red
    2 HR today.
  19. Old Red
    Arroyo in RF in Fenway will be more of a challenge. If JBJ continues not to hit he may see less playing time even against righties.
  20. Old Red
    39 pitches in 4 innings, so pretty easy Peasy.
  21. Old Red
    What’s Bloom waiting for. It should have been done after he made the JBJ trade.
  22. Old Red
    He hasn’t thrown many pitches.
  23. Old Red
    They took him out the other day when he gave up the lead when the plan was for him to go 4.
  24. Old Red
    I don’t believe Whitlock would be in the game now if it was still 3-0.
  25. Old Red
    Then why did the Sour Man come in?
