    I’ll take Alonso’s 38-126 over Contreras 20-80 anytime.
  2. Old Red
    He’s no Alonso, but he’s better than what they had.
  3. Old Red
    Sounds like the Red Sox have found a trading partner with St Louis. Who’s next? Two years left on the Contract of the Con Man. Just the kind the Red Sox like.
  4. Old Red
    The Dodgers spend, and the Mets spend also, but the Dodgers are better than getting it right.
  5. Old Red
    NOBODY has to take Masa, and Hicks just, because you want to get rid of them.🤭
  6. Old Red
    I still think the Red Sox are dickering with Bregman, but the biggest hangup is in the length of the contract, and we all know the Red Sox don’t want to go any longer than they have to, and the shorter the better, but we also know BorASS has other ideas.
  7. Old Red
    Why would anyone try to get one the Red Sox would actually do when it’s evident more fun to play make believe.🤫
  8. Old Red
    But your scenarios aren’t most likely to ever happen, and that spaghetti you keep throwing still doesn’t stick., but keep trying.😉
  9. Old Red
    You think all the guys you’re trying to get rid of other teams actually want.
  10. Old Red
    No on anything with Hicks , or NOshida, and Casas together. Just, because Bloom blew everyone out of the water, and shut down the bidding for Masa’s services in record time with the Red Sox doesn’t mean he’d want him now.🙈
  11. Old Red
    DHam?🤭
  12. Old Red
    Exactly! The Red Sox were right there knocking on the door that a move, or two might have got them in. Instead the third option at the fork in the road was used. Brez thought he had improved the BP in 2024, but it didn’t work out.
  13. Old Red
    Obviously it makes you feel better to call it a cliff well so be it, but I’m not going to. Last Cliff I knew was Huxtable.😉😉
  14. Old Red
    Well said. There was NO cliff.
  15. Old Red
    Depends on how many years it takes to sign Bichette. You may be paying for years of decline for both. I don’t think the Red Sox want any long term contracts for any of these guys, and I think the years piece might be holding up the Bregman situation.
  16. Old Red
    I agree on both. 5 more years plus a player option to age 37 for Marte would be a surprise if the Red Sox made the trade.
  17. Old Red
    Nobody knows what will happen until the games are played on the field. You could bring back the exact same lineup, and most likely you wouldn’t get the same results. I know the object is to make the Red Sox look better at least on paper, and there is still a long way to go until opening day. Even ST for that matter where good, and bad things can happen, and most likely will.
  18. Old Red
    That’s one way to look at it. Why would you take a risk on someone like Alonso just because he’s averaged 158 Games played, 39 HR, and 111 RBI the last 5 years, but isn’t a Slick Dick at 1B.🤔
  19. Old Red
    I think if a vote was taken out in RSN fans would be careful what they wished for, and vote for a new owner.
  20. Old Red
    They signed all those extensions, but they might just look at it as a cheaper way to go, which it is until their contracts come up again. Even Crochet was cheaper than if he would have it the open market. I think they would rather fill in from within, and trade for contracts that don’t have many years left on them than sign any long term expensive FA not named Bregman, and even that one will be like pulling teeth.
  21. Old Red
    Yes just getting to 500 in 2024 was an improvement.
  22. Old Red
    I’ve already said it wasn’t a mutual agreement, and it could have been a three year deal for the PLAYER. Bregman has opted-out just like I think most thought he would.
  23. Old Red
    I agree on Bloom, or trade Sale either.
  24. Old Red
    I believe last year was the problem, and there were some different things going on.
  25. Old Red
    Raffy was not a good 3B no doubt, but I believe if Cora had his way Raffy still would have been the 3B.
