    Why not just say Cora said it, which is what I’ve said since it happened? That only leaves the question of why, and there are enough theories on that as it is.
  2. Old Red
    SF already had an excellent 3B, so Raffy wasn’t going to play 3B there anyway, so it wasn’t agreeing with you at all, It’s real easy disagreeing with your positions, because they most always are off base, and most likely don’t, or won’t happen. Good set up.😉

    Casas is a china doll, but he got hurt swinging the bat, and running to 1B, and not playing in the field. It’s not hard to understand to me anyway why Cora kept him at 1B, and why he kept Bogey at SS, and yes I could have understood playing Bregman at 2B. I was also never a Devers Forevers guy, but I still think the Red Sox would have still made the postseason if the Red Sox wold have kept Devers, because of how good their SP was, and I still think Raffy could have made the difference against the Yankees in Yankee Stadium in the postseason.

    Did you see the interview? I understand word is does not mean said, but it was said, and it was shown on NESN, so there shouldn’t even been a question that there still seems to be even today.

    I understand if you didn’t see the interview on NESN, but I did, so it’s Never been a question to me since it happened.

    I wouldn’t put too much stock into Raffy’s numbers at SF after the trade last year. It was probably a culture shock, and a hit to his ego getting traded. I think he loved playing in Boston. Remember the record sitting bad start at DH last year too.
  7. Old Red
    As usual WRONG analysis. Did you see the interview?
  8. Old Red
    I’ve didn’t see at the time, and I don’t to this day see how the Red Sox would have better off with Raffy at 1B, and I think Cora felt the same, and didn’t think Raffy would have been any good at it, and especially the fact that Raffy had gone to DH, and hadn’t even played any in the field. Would Raffy been an improvement over Romy, and then a lesser hitter would have been at DH. No sense to me, and most likely to Cora. As I said before too if Cora had acted differently my opinion would be different, but he didn’t, and mine hasn’t.

    What do you mean word is? It came right out of Cora’s mouth in an interview on NESN, so there is no word to it. Cora was asked if he had spoken to Raffy to play 1B, and Cora said NO. Then he was asked if he was going to, and again Cora said NO. Now only Cora knows why he didn’t ask Raffy to play 1B, but my theory all along is, and has been that Cora didn’t think Raffy would have been good at 1B, and it wouldn’t help the team. Of course the Raffy BASHERS will have another theory conspiracy at best.

    Gray at this point is a 36 year old SP, and hasn’t done anything in a Red SOX uniform yet, which hopefully he does better than he did in a Yankee uniform.
  11. Old Red
    Well said, and agree100%.
  12. Old Red
    Try 1960.
  13. Old Red
    Just remember Brez was only the 12th pick in the HOBO draft.
  14. Old Red
    No trade, and NO opt outs.

    Maybe you should stop telling other fans to go, and be fans of someone else which you have done before just, because they don’t like what the Red Sox are doing. You are a Johnny come lately fan yourself. Yes other posters can call Henry cheap if they want to too. You can also sit there with a straight face like you always do and say you are not apologizing, or defending JH, which you always are. 👋
  16. Old Red
    I know you think more highly of Bregman than I do, and wanted him back, but this was all pretty much assumed at least by me that this was always going to be just a one, and done when he signed what was pretty much just a one year deal last offseason, which makes the Raffy situation all the more puzzling. Once other teams got involved this offseason that were serious bidders it sealed the fate.
  17. Old Red
    As it turned out? Y E S! One, and done.🤮
  18. Old Red
    Love it, Love it, Love it! I loved the Alonso signing. I loved the Cease signing, and I loved this signing. Getting rid of Raffy for a one, and DONE.🙈🤭🤮
  19. Old Red
    Oh no! Calling JH el cheapo.🤫
  20. Old Red
    Yes we feel the bottom line is more important to JH than the rings at this point, and yes back when JH first bought the Red Sox he was convinced otherwise, and that is why JH is not the same guy today as when he first bought the Red Sox. Simple as that, and nothing more, and nothing less all IMO.👋
  21. Old Red
    Like I said before that this sums things up pretty well, and once again it’s not that complicated to see.
  22. Old Red
    MVP summed that up pretty well in a previous post also. It’s not that complicated.🙈🤭
  23. Old Red
    No it’s not a brilliant point just stating the obvious. Of course I don’t constantly bring up JH past spending patterns like he same guy either.
  24. Old Red
    I agree it would depend on if Detroit thinks they have a good chance of winning.
  25. Old Red
    Once again the two sides can still settle on a different figure before going to arbitration.
