    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    Tremendous work once again by the Front Office. Make the team worse and alienate your best players. Not sure that's the Tampa model they had in mind when they hired Bloom but he's saving the club money so Henry won't let him go anywhere

    Sox acquire Eric Hosmer

    Old for his level, would need to see him duplicate it thru multiple other levels

    Wander Franco, with the organization the Red Sox are allegedly trying to mirror. Next question?

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    7th according to Spotrac, and closer to 14th than 4th. But sorry to ruin your pile-on Also, the Braves just locked up Austin Riley for 10 years today, coming off a World Series win. Explain to me what stopped John Henry from doing that with Devers?

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    I understand, and agree that John Henry should be memorialized throughout New England down the road. But that doesn’t mean he should be absolved of criticism in the present. He’s taking the cheap route, which is sad considering the resources he has available and the money he spends on other...

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    Their best homegrown offensive player of the generation is currently playing for a different team because the owner did not want to pay him. They’re currently in a standoff with #2 and #3 on that list because of money (fact, not opinion). Sorry that distorts your rose colored glasses but this...

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    Do Do you have any evidence based on the current state of the organization that they will?

    Red Sox Trade Deadline 2022

    Honestly Bloom should be under a heavy microscope right now. They’re bad now and these moves aren’t doing much to prevent them from being bad in the future. But then again, Bloom being on the hot seat would require ownership to actually care about the on-field product, but with Mookie, X, and...

    The White Sox have traded catcher Reese McGuire & Taylor Broadway to the Red Sox for Jake Diekman

    Give the man some credit please. It was a Wal-Mart, not a dollar tree.

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    He’s 100% set in his ways and it’s damaging the team. Look at one of his radio answers this morning. When asked about the blocked punts, he said they’re “not doing anything different from the past”. Well, if that’s his organizational philosophy they’re in big, big trouble. The game is a lot...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    That is the only first rounder worth a damn since 2012. Michel was disposed of, Harry is a bust, Wynn is on the cusp of that. Hell, even the second round picks he’s made recently are lukewarm at best as a whole. I’d like someone else making roster decisions.

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    Right, but do you trust the current organizational hierarchy to make the right pick in that situation based on recent draft history?

    The Game Goat Thread: Wk. 6 vs Dallas

    This is a great point. Every team at the top of the NFL totem pole has someone on offense that you’d classify as a game breaker/big play threat on ANY given play, or at the very least someone that you can depend on to say “this guy is getting the ball in this situation, try and stop it”. The...

    The Game Goat Thread: Wk. 3 vs Saints

    I think it’s clear as day that this coaching staff, from top to bottom, is (and has been) hindering the development of key players. The scheme is bad, the play calling is bad. The players aren’t being put in a good enough position to win. Except Jonnu Smith. He is awful regardless

    Rethinking Barstool?

    Right, because in the current sports + gambling climate THIS is what's going to expose so many people to gambling. It's absolutely never been advertised or mentioned before, nope.

    Trade deadline

    Then stop saying they should emulate Tampa and talk more about the Dodgers, I’m sick of hearing that the Boston fucking Red Sox should try and act more like a team that has had one successful postseason push in a decade and it was during a write-off season

    Trade deadline

    Everyone loves to talk about Tampa, but y'all really wanna trade the LITERAL championship success the Red Sox have had for a few 90 win seasons that fall short of the playoffs, one playoff series that extended beyond the Division Series the last 10 seasons, and I guess some fun prospects?

    Trade deadline

    Brings them to a full -1 WAR in pitchers acquired today. In Bloom we trust indeed.
