My favorite:
“I’ve got a seat at the purchasing table... which I think is probably good enough, probably won't get the ok from the boss to purchase though.”
The Red Sox won’t get an equivalent offer to that rumor from any other team. The price will either come down or Price will be pitching for the Red Sox next season.
I think you are 100% correct. But it’s starting to be that I am losing hope that they will acquire any decent starting pitching. Even signing Keuchel, whom most posters wanted no part of, is beginning to look like a challenge.
You constantly argue that no one should be this upset about crappy ownership and front office and whiffing on free agents but you have no problem blaming posters?
Who is the clown again?
You can play this game and find something wrong with every player. Last offseason, people were finding faults with both Machado and Harper.
So just don’t acquire anyone?
No need to bring Trump into this. Although, the economy is booming as a result of him so you would think the Sox would in turn spend some money this offseason. ?
#1 is the key. The expectation of a rebuild is that you maintain a low payroll and essentially tank for high draft picks but when you are near your window of competition, you finally spend big to fill in your holes.
