If players don’t like what they are getting paid then let them find another job.
-
Maybe they should switch sides for awhile. The owners could be the players, and the players could be the owners, and see how that works out, and then be locked in a room till this thing gets settled.

Mookie didn’t get to FA, because the Sox didn’t want to let him walk out the door, and get nothing for him. Knowing in my opinion that the Sox were not going to get Mookie to sign a new contract I would have traded Mookie after 2018, and possibly got more for him like some pitching.
-
And just when you think you know the answers they change the questions.
-
Pretty much everything on here is nothing, but speculation, and so is all these offers that was so called reported. I’m waiting now for the next big speculation offer to either Bogey, or Raffy.

This is exactly what I meant that it appeased some fans.

It appeased some fans.

The Red Sox knew he wouldn’t sign for $300M, and Mookie knew the Sox weren’t going any higher, so call it what you want, but either way Mookie was getting out of Boston, and did,
-
They did offer Betts $300M, but they already knew he wasn’t going to take it, so not really a legit offer.

Eddie Bressoud was the 1st Red Sox SS I can remember. Not a bad SS for a sucky Red Sox team in the early 60’s.
-
Valentin moved to 3rd for some guy named Nomar.
-
Or not at all like 67.
-
The pitching was also better back in the 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s.
-
I don’t think Cleveland gave up 2 HR’s to Perez in game 7. Lee gave up three runs in a 4-3 game.
-
Lee threw one to many blooper pitches to Perez.
-
Another very talented team that just came up a little short.
-
67 was the start of Red Sox Nation, which also livened up Fenway Park, which before was a pretty dead place at least in the early 60’s.

The Cardiac Kids the 1967 team was my favorite team. The 2018 team may have been the most dominant, and the 2004 team the most special for breaking the curse, but this 1975 team had to go through more tougher competition, and came up short. Beating the three time WS Champions Oakland A’s, and taking the Big Red Machine to the final inning of the 7th game was to much to overcome, and the curse lasted another 29 years. It’s always hard to compare on who was the best team at any given time, because there are too many variables then goes into it, and favorite teams are sometimes anointed as a best team.

If Bobby D was to get 550 PA I think that would be a good sign that he is producing, and hopefully you don’t have all the tryouts at 1B as last year especially Arroyo.
-
It wasn’t just his bat, but his glove didn’t work very well at times last year either.
-
Good analogy, but like I asked can you really count on Bobby D?
-
Dalbec is like Barnes, and you don’t know which one you are going to get the good one, or the bad one. Hard to count on either.
-
I haven’t heard a word from Cora on what next years plans are for the OF, or for JBJ for that matter, so everyone is pretty much going with their own expectations . I know most think that Duran is in the Red Sox plans to get playing time next year, but at this point I don’t, and he starts the season at the Woo Sox. Time will tell.

This is all common knowledge, but still not everyone gets 96 RBI. You could have 10 different batters take the AB that Renfroe took last year, and that doesn’t mean they all would get 96 RBI. I never said Renfroe was all that good, but that he did get 96 RBI, with without the Red Sox would not have made the postseason.
