    I worked though. Now time will tell if Baltimore has buyers remorse.
  2. Old Red
    😃👍👍👍.
  3. Old Red
    The Red Sox still could use Flintstone’s, or Alonso’s bat though, and yes even Raffy’s. As for Bregman it’s dammed if you do, and dammed if you don’t.
  4. Old Red
    I’ve missed so many points on here I’ve been told I’ve got sent to the bench several times.
  5. Old Red
    Yes, but they know other teams were hot on his trail like Baltimore apparently was. Alonso drove to the meetings himself to meet with teams, so I think this was a little bit different situation.

    3 days? It’s been discussed for some time now. Here, there, and everywhere.
  7. Old Red
    And yet with having a small old ballpark the Red Sox generate $500M+ in revenue.
  8. Old Red
    I agree. I don’t think anyone is asking the Red Sox to go to the Mets, or Dodgers level.
  9. Old Red
    I did NOT say the same thing about Bogey. I said DD should have offered Bogey more money on the original 6 year contract with NO opt outs. Bogey’s contract would have been up after last year.
  10. Old Red
    If you just wanted to waste everyone’s time it’s fine, but Alonso was not going to take only 3 years.
  11. Old Red
    Having the highest ticket prices, but only 23rd in the league on revenue to payroll, which was even worse before I agree with you the Red Sox should spend more.🤫
  12. Old Red
    You mean a process like having a zoom meeting with Alonso, and then having a in person meeting, and then only offering him 3 year?🤭
  13. Old Red
    I would give NO options, and NO buyouts. Make him a straight offer with a take it, or leave it. He’s a good player, and will help the club, but as I said last year he’s NO Mike Schmidt, or George Brett. Yes I know he got off to a hot start last year, but how did he end up, and now he’s a year older. If the reported offer is true, which is too long, but more than generous isn’t good enough than move on.
  14. Old Red
    👍👍👍.

    Exactly? There are always more than one reason why a team doesn’t do as good as they should. The injury ju Ju that has hindered Boston for more than a few years now has hindered what the Red Sox could have, and should have been IMO. Has it not? That has nothing to do with how much money is spent, or how high the payroll is. Every single example you cited has reasons, and most likely would have been in a worse position with a lower payroll, and if broken all down would probably show that.

    Spending money isn’t always going to lead to success as the Mets have proven, but I will say it helps more than most. How many out of those 6 top ten spenders do you think would have made the playoffs if they hadn’t of spent the money. The Jays without Vlad JR. The Yankees without Judge, or the Dodgers without the Big O, or the Yam Man. The Dodgers may have only finished with the 6th best record, but do you think injuries had anything do with that, and where would they have finished without that money. Worse than 6th?
  17. Old Red
    He’s no Gene Conley.
  18. Old Red
    This is my point. Now all of these teams are spending more than the Red Sox.
  19. Old Red
    I agree 100%.
  20. Old Red
    I wouldn’t necessarily call the Red Sox bad for the most part from 2022-2024 even though they had losing records, and last place in the division finishes. They seem to fade In those years right around the trade deadline.
  21. Old Red
    You mean what the Red Sox offered Alonso wasn’t competitive? Shocking!🤫
  22. Old Red
    Good point.🤓
  23. Old Red
    Like I said before JH is not one of the big boys anymore. What the Red Sox paid in payroll in 2018-19 when they were at the top of the list wouldn’t be near the top anymore, which you conveniently left out. It’s great they lock up the young suspects, but they also need some outside help that may be expensive, so as I’ve said not only there are bigger boys now, but more of them. It’s not just the Yankees anymore, but Toronto too just in the division. Be happy the Red SOX spending is about double to 2003-2004, and be happy Roman is locked up, but if you think JH is as dedicated today as he was when he bought the team, or even 11 years ago when he showed up at the Felger, and Mazz show to set the record straight as he called it I think you are more than mistaken.
  24. Old Red
    Yes the highest tickets around, but the revenue to payroll seems to be lagging behind.

    Eddie Driscoll was a real legend who wore many hats, and costumes , and Dick Stacey was well know too.
