Some on here are trying awfully hard to justify this trade, but to say JBJ couldn’t hit because of new pitches in new parks. Wow!
-
I’m not a big Renfroe fan, and I was all for replacing him, but without his 96 RBI the Sox don’t get to the postseason.
-
How much of the talk in the media comes true? How much talk in the media was there about any of the moves the Red Sox have made so far. I don’t remember any JBJ talk.
-
If the Sox were so unconcerned about the luxury tax they would be signing better players than they have.
-
So they are going to trade for someone, and pay them $10M, or so, and then go out, and sign someone else to play his position? I get that it’s only $3M, or so more than they would have payed Renfroe, but Renfroe would have been playing. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
-
It sounds like we bailed out Milwaukee getting out of a real bad contract, and the bad contract is ours prospects or not.
-
Bogey has full no trade after 7 yrs in contract.
-
Doesn’t Bogey have a no trade?
-
He knows about the jalopies (good analogy}, because that all he’s allowed to buy.
-
You keep talking about last year, and things turned out pretty well with almost a trip to the WS, but last year is over, and it doesn’t mean the same thing will happen again this year.
-
I’m just saying that the way the Sox are handling this off season is what everyone SHOULD have expected doing the same kind of deals they did last year, because of what Sam Kennedy said at the end of the year, so I don’t know how the Yankees do business has anything to do with how the Sox do business. I did not say this is what I would do, but only gave an opinion on what Sam Kennedy said that I guess no one else heard, or just continue to ignore, and up to now they are pretty much doing what Sam Kennedy said. It wasn’t that hard to understand what he said.
-
This is what everyone should have expected. Maybe not these 3 guys, but 3 guys just like them. Kennedy, and Bloom made it very clear after the season they would be following the same plan as last year, which I took to meant no big long term contracts,and signing guys like the three pitches they just signed. I know I sound like a broken record on this, but this was what was implied to me would be happening. I know there were hopes of bigger things to come, but so far they have stuck to what they said they would do. Last years plan.
-
I’m not thrilled either, and I don’t blame Bloom for having to work with a smaller spending account than a lot of the other teams do. I would, and I assume others would to like to know what that budget is..
-
Sounds like your critical of Bloom for those signings.
-
-
Some people think they actually stole Whack a, and Paxton from all the other teams.
-
Do you really think that Paxton, and Whack a were in great demand from other clubs, and would even be on the Sox wish list if Bloom had a big allowance to spend?
-
Sounds like some to much.
-
Must be nice to have a washing machine for a favorite toy, but going around the spin cycle to many times had made someone wishy washy.
-
It must be great to be an expert, but I don’t know how far polishing a turd will get you.
-
Thin skin at its finest, and keep the name calling up. It’s hilarious.
-
You are entitled to your opinion even if you are the only one that thinks like that, but God forbid if someone disagrees with you. I guess you just think that your opinion is only the right one.
-
Still with the name calling. How childish.
-
The point was that they have more info than the casual fan, but not more than all the other clubs, and the other clubs aren’t picking these players the Sox have.
-
I think all of the above.
