    Max didn’t give Brez a big enough pat on the back for you? Nothing wrong with that at all. I think Max summed things up pretty well, which was better than you, or I did.
  2. Old Red
    Aggressive? Brez May have a different meaning than the other teams, on how much that means.
  3. Old Red
    The run had to do with the good extended starting pitching especially from Cro Man, Gio, and Bello. Some on here like to think the run was because Raffy was traded.

    I agree it’s 2019 on that gets talked about the most on here, and what has followed DD, which was Brez, and Bloom. Theo had his share of success too when he, and LL ran the Red Sox.

    Good post Max.👍👍👍

    Yes the Red Sox have been locking up the younger players, and all that payroll adds up, which gives less money to bring in FA, so which was is better? Time will tell, but if most of the young guys don’t turn out as well as some think it will hurt down the road, but if they turn out great.

    Arenado is owed $42M, and the Cardinals are paying $31M of that? Wow! Bloom is paying everyone to take his players.

    From reports the Red Sox made an offer to Bregman early on that Bregman was a little mad at, but the Red SOX didn’t budge until near the end with their final offer, but as usual too little too late. I don’t know if they were sure they would land Bregman, but I think he was plan A&B.

    Not disputing that, but Cora has complained at length about the D now for the last three years frequently on the postgame on NESN. if they can make the D better that’s good, but you still have to have some big bats.

    And now they have to go to that all familiar third option in the fork in the road.
  11. Old Red
    Same with Bloom. Theo must have taken different classes at Yale to able to communicate better.

    How did the IF defense look last year to start the season? 3B was better, but how about 2B, and 1B? Why would they have a zoom meeting with Alonso, and then a face to face if they wasn’t interested half hearted as the offer was.
  13. Old Red
    I think Alonso’s bat would have looked better in the BO than Bregman, and he would have produced more.
  14. Old Red
    But I think the model on Alonso was with the idea they would get Bregman.
  15. Old Red
    Do you think they would have offered Alonso more if they knew they wouldn’t get Bregman?
  16. Old Red
    HR. Alonso 118. Bregman 69 RBI. Alonso 332. Bregman 235 Just to simplify things, and I’m going for Alonso.
  17. Old Red
    And with the Red Sox they have a set limit. It might have been $165M for Bregman, but from reports it was s t r e c h e d out over a long time. What a player is worth to one team might not be that much to another. Alonso was worth $150M to Baltimore, but only $85M to Boston.

    Sounds like Brez not reading the room very well, which is not surprising at all.
  19. Old Red
    He’s moving for the second year in a row of his own choice. It’s not like Houston didn’t make him an offer to stay there, or Detroit last year to go there. I understand he wants to get every penny he can, but I don’t care that he has to move to get it.
  20. Old Red
    I vaguely remember Ted myself, so kind of starting with Yaz with me.
  21. Old Red
    The Bad Boston injury ju Ju as I call it.
  22. Old Red
    His D was horrible, and they kept moving him around the field, which didn’t help him either especially since he was penciled in at 2B, and still today after moving around even more at Woo still doesn’t have a position.
  23. Old Red
    The present day value was way too low, because of decades of deferred money was a report I read along with the no trade.
  24. Old Red
    The biggest bats out there as FA are OF, and it seems Martel is off the market, so Brez is going to have to get creative to find one.
  25. Old Red
    The Con Man should be a step up from what they had, but to me a step down from what they could of had in Alonso. As for Gray it remains to be seen if he’s a step up from Gio.
