    I thought you had given up on trying to get rid of Hicks, and Masa? Pipe dreams. I know you don’t make suggestions to try to get them right, but GGMM.🤭
  2. Old Red
    Why the Red Sox rather play Mayer at 3B instead of 2B if he would be the so called solution to the decade long 2B problem?🤔
  3. Old Red
    I don’t think Cora has committed to Mayer at 3B at all. It was just said the Red Sox would rather have Mayer play 3B than 2B.
  4. Old Red
    Most likely yes, but even then Mayer has a lot of proven to do with the bat, and being able to stay on the field.

    Pressure BorASS? It seems like the first offer to Bregman was not to his liking at all, and he was a little perturbed at Brez, and it stayed that way until the end when the Red Sox upped their offer, which was to late, and not good enough anyway" like I mentioned before the Red Sox offer to Ranger PDV was higher than Bregman’s. Bregman was plan A, and Brez botched it from the beginning IMO.
  6. Old Red
    I know what you meant. I guess another one of those many I don’t agree with Cora, but I don’t think he’s wrong thing.🤓
  7. Old Red
    Oh no another I’m not defending, or apologizing for JH piece. Where have I seen that before?🤔
  8. Old Red
    Yes the Red Sox have already come out, and said Story will be the SS, and they would rather have Mayer at 3B instead of 2B. Cora breaking his arm would not change that.
  9. Old Red
    There will be comparisons all season long between Alonso, and Con Man, and also between Raffy, and whomever plays 3B for the Red Sox.
  10. Old Red
    According to Buster O the Red Sox gave more money to Ranger in PDV than what they offered Bregman.🤔
  11. Old Red
    It may be for only two though with the opt-outs.
  12. Old Red
    Even when throwing in some money IMO.
  13. Old Red
    It’s another Bregman type deal with the Red Sox with opt-outs after first, and second year.
  14. Old Red
    When they traded for him I don’t think they intended to have added Ranger also, which I believe wouldn’t have happened if Brez hadn’t botched the Bregman negotiations. I also don’t believe the Red Sox would have traded for Gray if Bloom hadn’t of kicked in the $20M, so depending on what happens this year, and who does, and who doesn’t step up the Red Sox might not even need Gray next year especially for $30M. They also won’t miss the two players they gave up either. Like I said no $20M from Bloom then I don’t think the deal gets done in the first place. I can’t believe you’re saying it’s only $20M.
  15. Old Red
    If they buy him out they pay him $11M in 2026, and $10M for the buyout whenever that is. $21M total no matter how you want to look at it. If they pick up the option it’s $11M this year, and $30M next year for a total of $41M. Its really just that simple, and nothing more to it. I disagree 100% they pick up his $30M OPTION next year.
  16. Old Red
    He has to stay healthy, and hit LHP first, and foremost, which both are big ifs. Merloni?🤭
  17. Old Red
    Maybe even doing a little addition at the trade deadline would have been something.
  18. Old Red
    BTV is never the other team, so it would all depend what they would want in any trade with the Red Sox, so would another team see Duran, or Abreu as a better player, and fit for them.
  19. Old Red
    Total yes, but this would be $11M this year, and $10M next year, so not quite the same as a 1 yr deal.
  20. Old Red
    Opt-out after second year.
  21. Old Red
    I was shocked they give Ranger a 5 yr contract for as much as they did, and would be more shocked if they picked up a option for $30M saving themselves $20M.
  22. Old Red
    A great signing!
  23. Old Red
    I NEVER SAID there was a $40M difference.🤔
  24. Old Red
    Tucker to the DODGERS! Another great signing.
  25. Old Red
    Huh? This isn’t that hard at all. The Red Sox are paying Gray $11M this year. If they they have to pay the mutual option next year that’s $30M more for a total of $41M. If they don’t have to pay the $30M mutual option then it becomes $10, which adds up to $21 M, which is a difference of $20M. If you just count next year it’s still $30M vs $10M, which is still a $20M difference.🤭
