Only took until page 5 for people to be mad about hypothetical situations. Hell yes.

Also the game/data was much different then. Once everything became about analytics is when the Sox have been horrible, which it SEEMS like Getz is trying to drag JR into to.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong - but weren't there work ethic issues around him from pretty early on?

Give me Anthony and Campbell as a start.

I agree with this. Cease was coming off a pretty lackluster year and overall doesn't have as much of a "wow" factor as Crochet.

There can be positives and negatives happening at the same time.

So do they have a plan to sign ANYTHING this offseason or will it literally just be subtractions?

You don’t think a pitching or hitting director should look at tape on a guy they might trade for and give input?

We have no idea if someone else could convince Reinsdorf to do something. Past history would say no.

Probably not, but I don't know if that is now a hold up. I was under the assumption that was for last year to pitch in the playoffs. If that does matter, then I would guess there is no way it's the Brewers. Probably the Mets.

I'm thinking it will be the Brewers.

He seems to be putting processes and departments in place that did not previously exist. Seems like he is at least trying to pull Jerry into how other teams are ran. Don’t know if it’ll work but it’s something.

34 years old makes me feel incredibly ancient. His philosophy is what they need, so let's hope it works out.

They ran through so many pitchers last year. Also he was okay in 16 outings with the Mariners in 2023 before he had surgery last year.

You can’t let them on the plane. Team quit on them. But the Bears are ran on par with the Sox.

Felt INCREDIBLY undertoney.

What in the f***.

Well, they aren't part of the "most"

Yeah seriously. Glad he figured it out. Something else will make him lose it eventually.

Sorry sir this is a Michael Kopech thread.

Yeah it never really looked like they didn’t care. They just sucked (and were probably very frustrated at times).

Most people that leave here continue to be bad.

Well his little intro video at least feels a little more sincere than Grifol’s “we are going to prepare to kick your ass.”

The Reds is a good opening?

Who is in here saying they trust all of this? People want to be cautiously optimistic. That's it. They HOPE it's a step in the right direction. What do you want people to be doing about this? Be mad?
