    The thing is to me though is that it didn’t have to be anyone’s fault.
  2. Old Red
    There are so many different instances to this saga, and that’s just of what we heard. I’m sure there was a lot more.
  3. Old Red
    It’s amazes some people that you can take the same set of circumstances, and not everyone sees it the same way, and forms different opinions on what they see.

    Why do you think Cora was just trying to make everyone happy instead of just thinking Raffy at 1B was a bad idea?He had settled in quite nicely at DH, after a record breaking disastrous start.
  5. Old Red
    Cora said they were fine at 1B. Are you trying to count Masa who was shipped off in exile somewhere, and wouldn’t even let him bat at WOO under the ruse he was working on his arm. If you don’t think going to a new team isn’t a much different situation then no further discussion.
  6. Old Red
    Seems like what’s seasonal weather has changed a bit this year.

    We’ve gone all over this now 1000’s of times already. Whole different situation, and you can call him whatever you like. We’ve also gone all over what position he’s playing with SF. He went to a NEW team who already have a good 3B. Once again a whole different situation.
  8. Old Red
    Picking up a shift, and doing the same job would be a whole different situation.

    I think Bloom, and Brez skipped the communication classes at Yale that Theo took.

    I don’t see the Red Sox trading JD for a one, and done.
  11. Old Red
    I think a RHB would be preferable, and it wouldn’t surprise me if it ends up being someone who hasn’t been mentioned.
  12. Old Red
    He was available for quite a while. I think as it stands right now Mayer is at 3B, and anyones guess at 2B.

    If Alonso came first then no Con Man, but Ranger came much later on so probably Gray happens.
  14. Old Red
    Sounds like Suarez is going to mainly be the DH.
  15. Old Red
    I said before the offseason began that I would have signed Alonso, and Schwaber. I believe the Red Sox was more than interested in Alonso, but only offered the three years, because they were saving other money for Bregman, and were not going to sign 2 contracts of 5 years. As for what the Ranger contract matters it all depends on why he got more PDV than what they offered Bregman. Maybe it was because they failed on Bregman, and didn’t want to fail again.
  16. Old Red
    $15M/1 for Eugenio Suarez. Good deal for Cincinnati.
  17. Old Red
    Bregman is getting $105M out of his $175M the first 5 years with the rest being deferred with the Cubs. The Red Sox wanted to give Bregman less money than that over the five years, which was reported although no figures were given. Ranger on the other hand is getting all $130M over the 5 years so if Brez was under such money constraints on Bregman how could he pay Ranger at the very least $25M more, and that figure was undoubtedly higher?
  18. Old Red
    You are just pure speculating that JH set a limit, and said not to give a no trade clause. or that Brez was given any orders at all. I haven’t seen ANY reports whatsoever to say he did. I’m also not saying he didn’t.Once again I’m not asking you to jump to any conclusions, or make false claims, or anything else, but it shouldn’t bother you when others do have a opinion on what is known,and you are not going to force them not to. s*** SHOW, F—- up, bungled, botched, failed, messed up, Go Fish will live on. You have your opinions, and others have theirs, and that’s how it works.
  19. Old Red
    Why do you still miss the point. All it comes down to is the Red Sox didn’t get the player they wanted the most. The main point is not how much money they offered ,but that they didn’t get him. You think Cora didn’t want him back? Why they didn’t get him is a different discussion altogether, but that the fact they didn’t get him isn’t.
  20. Old Red
    I understand Sand Man, but for a team going nowhere I don’t understand Hicks. Hicks was decent at one time, but like I said Chicago is going nowhere.
  21. Old Red
    I agreed with you that I did not want Bregman back for those years, and for that price, but that does not take away from the fact good, or bad that Brez could not land the player they wanted most, and who was their PLAN A. Once again in glad the Red SOX did not get him, but I don’t think Cora, and the Red Sox feel the same way, and feel just the opposite.
  22. Old Red
    I didn’t think the Red Sox could find anyone to take Hicks off their hands, but they did, and it only cost them $8M. Chicago must of wanted the Sand Man real bad to take on Hicks, and his remaining salary.
  23. Old Red
    You are leaving out one key element, which is staying healthy, and staying on the field.
  24. Old Red
    It does make me feel better, and why wouldn’t it? It’s not just the majority, but the inside, and more knowledge of those opinions that you, or I don’t have. It’s not a perception at all as I go to many different venues. I hate to think the majority opinion out in the Nation is the majority opinion of just what’s on here, because it is not.
  25. Old Red
    Sheep? I’ll go with the people on ESPN, and MLB networks who have more knowledge than you do, so I’m in pretty good company.
