  1. no i am just frustrated at the constant mediocrity. FA apologists like you are just content with it. I used to live and die on the Sox and watch 90% of their games on MLB package. But as far as I am concerned until JH shows he cares about actually winning again I have cancelled my MLB package {3 yrs ago} and as I live in Canada I will watch them when they play the Jays and on Fox game of the week and Sunday night baseball BUT I WILL NOT PAY A DIME to watch them anywhere else. JH should be upset about how longtime fans about the last 6 years but as long as there are fans like you he has nothing to worry about. 84-90 wins again this yr and an early out if we qualify for the post season.
  2. I don't know about you but I am sick of SIX years of mediocrity
  3. Well since DD was fired in the 6 years since our record is 442-428 with 2 playoff appearances. Remember JH has stated a number of times that his goal and mission was for the Red Sox to compete for a WS EVERY YEAR !! At best we have been true contenders once maybe twice if you count last year {I don't} I feel that we have basically tread water these past 6 years and as of this date there has been very little to change that. Personally I could care less if we spend another dime. I don't believe for a second that JH has the same passion as he did before firing DD and as a result as a fan I don't have same passion I did as a LIFETIME Red Sox fan. Put Mayer at 3B and a combo of Romy/Hamilton at 2B and let's get on with it but for God Sakes stop saying we have interest in every decent FA out there.
  4. yeah because those guys are comparable alright. The Yoshida signing was a disaster from day 1 and is killing the team now.,
  5. you conveniently forget to include the other guys now off the books. EG: Gioloto $$ basically cover Gray's $$, Currently there is 71 million off last yr's payroll with Devers and Bregman gone. Even if they sign Bregman for 25 million that still saves 15 million plus Devers. And yes I know several players like Anthony are getting raises but almost all MLB teams have similar. There is no way I sign Bregman for any more than 3 yrs with possibly a MUTUAL 4th yr and NO opt outs unless of course the team gets one too.
  6. that should take the Sox out of it then. No way I give Bregman 6 yrs
  7. Listen I am ONLY INTERESTED in how much we are sopending 1} in relation to the revenue generated and 2} where we rank in overall MLB team payroll. I don't want to hear about how salaries of our young guys are rising. Are the Sox the ONLY team that has these increases ?? Finally I am really only concerned with how we are upgrading our overall roster regardless of $$ involved but I just don't see it yet. Currently we sit 12th in overall team payroll ??
  8. not 40 million like we paid Bregman and not 31 million like we paid Devers. Conteras was a far cry from Schwarber and Alonso and cost assets as well but of course he was far cheaper than the other 2. As for Gray his salary is offset by the ouster of Gioloto from the roster. Pretty much a wash..
  9. because this is how we are operating these days. Rather than sign a FA we just trade off our assets for a cheaper player.
  10. because this is how we are operating these days. Rather than sign a FA we just trade off our assets for a cheaper player.
  11. I am sure JH will accommodate your wishes and not approve either signing
  12. i don't want him to go 4. Bregman is all about the money. let him go. You won't hear me cry about not bringing him back. I guess the 40 million we gave him for 2/3 of the 2025 season wasn't enough for him. DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE A$$ ON THE WAY OUT ALEX !!!
  13. hopefully not the Sox on the latter. Let Bregman get his LT deal somewhere else
  14. i don't think Donovan is as big a get as what it will cost to get him. Pass--save JH the $$
  15. more likely we would have offered a 1 yr deal
  16. even more likely--Sox aren't getting EITHER. Watch for Bello for Donovan deal instead.
  17. every year we hear the same crap. "Sox are interested in this guy-Sox are interested in that guy" blah, blah, blah. Fans like me need to come to the realization that JH is not going to sign any more mega-deal long term FA's and that includes Skubal.
