    1-A first-ballot HOF manager. 2-Arguably the best GM in history. No matter what Fred and Pumpsie think.

    My thinking on things like this is that, if he couldn't hit a FB, all he would see would be FBs, and he'd be out of the league. I'm not sure if y'all remember, but back when the RS fans were criticizing the Beltre signing, they said he couldn't hit a curve. I was like, "10 years in the league, and no one knew he couldn't hit a curve? Until you figured it out?"

    We should trade Pedroia. Everyone knows that prospects are suspects.
  4. JoeBrady
    Because Rafaela has more long-term value than Marte. I wouldn't do that trade straight-up.

    The week is still early.

    They've added $100M+ in payroll since DD joined them. If JH added another $100M to what our payroll was in 2019, we'd be above the LAD.

    Good for the RS. If Bregman goes to 3rd, then AZ is going with Marte or Lawlar at 2nd.

    Aren't you working your life away?

    I am always confused about how RS fans see the past 7 years. Some seem to feel that JH should be run out of town, and some seem to think it was okay, and some seem think think it was a rebuild.

    My pure guess is that he is penciling in Casas at 1B. It's unfortunate, but a lot of fans don't think in terms of fit, or long-term, or more appealing options.

    Did you I was going to let this slide by? It can be painfully hard to be saving nickels and dimes when you're 25, but the accumulations take off as you age.
  12. JoeBrady
    Aww dude, you just brought tears to my eyes.

    I've said this many times. DD's primary superpower was knowing which prospects to keep and which to trade. That's a tough row to hoe. Many GMs don't even try. It's one of the things I like about Breslow.
  14. JoeBrady
    A little bit of an aberration. He had a 47/3 K/W in his final 27.2 IPs. That's unhittable. Ryan had a still very respectable 41/12 in 32 IPs. It's not a disqualifier, but that is way down from 2023 and 2024, and from his earlier 2025 results.
  15. JoeBrady
    One of DD's best moments. A lot of the RSN wanted DD to give JD whatever he wanted. DD read the market correctly, and knew that no one was going to top his remaining contract.

    She had to appreciate that. I never understood the nice/not nice thing. I've seen a fair amount of meeting meltdowns that I couldn't even process. To me, everything is a problem that I get paid to resolve. Instead of a 30-minute screed about someone on the other side that he wanted fired, just tell me what the final product has to look like. I'll figure it out.

    If the medicals say Casas will start sometime in April, then we have to go with Casas.
  18. JoeBrady
    I agree. Neither were wrong. They simply had different jobs. Attaching a 5% inflation factor to payroll, we are about $75M below our 2019. That's just the way it goes.
  19. JoeBrady
    I never, ever cared for consensus thinking. I use to go to meetings where everyone smiled and agreed. 5-10 very smart people, and no opinions. I appreciate camaraderie, would 100x prefer screaming and yelling, with a good solution, than a meeting where everyone just 'went along'. Side TL/DR, we had a meeting up in Natick. The subject was moving our factories in MA, NJ and CT down to a mega-factory in SC. After 3 hours of speeches, I asked the three VPs of these units if they were going to move down to SC. To their credit, no one pretended, and they all said no. My friends from Japan and Germany looked at each other for a minute, checked their flight schedule, and departed. Had they simply raised the question earlier, we could've saved $20k in airplane tickets.

    Sorry, I'm going claim an auto-correct. I meant Duran. And even when I was looking at it, I knew it wasn't right, but too lazy to figure out why.

    The story of a misspent youth growing up in The Bronx. As the T-shirt says, "No great story ever started with 'I was having a salad when....'.
  22. JoeBrady
    I wouldn't argue the point. I love Raffy, but Abreu Duran can play a very good CF for us. If, just for example, the Reds offer us Lodolo for Abreu, or Greene or Burns for Raffy, I can move Raffy. Flexibility is one of my more favored traits.
  23. JoeBrady
    I was stunned. In what world do you trade a Nomar for a glove-first SS? Nomar had worn my patience down to a nub, but for a brief period of time, he was better than Jeter and ARod. But I never got past the game when Jeter dove into the stands and came with the ball and his bleeding, while the cameras were zooming in on Nomar with his nonchalant look in the dugout.
  24. JoeBrady
    I'll add one more thing. I can't speak for anyone else, but I love watching the dude play. This is a small sample, but he's the best CF I've ever seen, with all due respect to Paul Blair. I've never seen him take a bad step in the OF.
  25. JoeBrady
    I expect guys to improve, but I only knew about Tolle from the draft, and thought Early was a marginal #5, maybe. Kind of like Fitts, Dobbins, etc. I expect #3 production from Sandoval this year.
