  1. $260M isn't cheap....if that's all the organization can afford. the Sox are different, they CAN spend a helluva lot more than $260M as their revenue is close to $600M. so, yeah....Henry is being cheap.
  2. i've seen him pitch many times. and while he can pitch well with either hand, he throws right-handed 95% of the time.
  3. once you realize that he's trying to make the Mets better, it makes sense.
  4. the Pirates have been very busy this off-season.
  5. it was stupid. just like the Gio contract. great for the player. sucks for the team. besides the $40 million, his signing cost us Devers.
  6. and some idiots still think DD "decimated the farm".
  7. the Dodgers don't seem to have a problem missing the playoffs or missing out on free agents they want.
  8. Alonso's contract might age poorly, but he's essentially three years younger than Contrares.
  9. it wasn't a rebuild. it was a "let's burn it down because i'm a greedy SOB that's tired of spending money".
  10. but signing free agents is a bad idea. LOL.
  11. me either. glad the Sox passed on him. he might be successful, but to me, he looks like a strike out machine.
  12. no money. just a mention for assisting one of the principal contributors.
  13. like it or not, it's the cost of doing business if you want to compete.
  14. what top prospects did he trade that he shouldn't have?
  15. i wonder sometimes if Henry lost a bet or something (like the movie Trading Place, except this hasn't worked out) . i can just see him sitting around with his billionaire buddies after winning the WS in 2018.... Henry (smoking his cigar): yep, that's four championships in 15 years. I could do this all day. BIllionaire buddy: well, to be fair, any organization could win a WS with what you've spent on payroll. Henry: that's not true, we have smart people (including me) running this from top to bottom as well as the best players money can buy. Billionaire buddy: i bet you $100M you can't win a WS if you fire DD, trade off your best players, and never sign a free agent to a contract in the Top 35 in baseball. I'll give you 10 years. Henry: you're on!
  16. only if we can throw in Hicks too.
  17. burn down the farm because Henry is too cheap to sign a FA.
  18. i like Sibley too. have his app on my phone.
  19. this one is better. and you'll find my name in the credits.
  20. that's just it. if you're always waiting around for the "perfect fit" you'll do just that and spend all you're time waiting for the perfect fit. his contract wasn't stupid and he was the closest thing to perfect the market had to offer.
  21. agreed. signing him was just another in a long line of idiotic moves made by this FO.
  22. it's not Dave's fault but people are all too happy to blame him for it. so yeah, blame the guy that got us three straight ALEast titles and a WS, but not the ******** billionaire owner that decided he wanted to run the team like the Rays. DD wins a WS then finishes third and gets fired for it. now we celebrate Bresloverpay for finishing third. LOL. THE PROBLEM is Henry and his change in philosophy, not DD.
  23. i'd take a 30th ranked farm and a world series championship any f***in' day. now we have (or did have) a top ranked farm and what has it got you?
