But if he’s pinched on budget by the owner, I don’t know, who’s to blame for acquiring the likes of Harrison this year, or Eaton last year, so on and so forth, when far better talent was available on the open market, but obviously more pricey.

This year they have the 7th highest payroll in baseball. 6M below the Red Sox in 6th. We know the budget was there for the Sox to go above that because they tried acquiring Manaea. This year, the issue is a resource allocation issue, not a lack of resources. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Well the crowd can get an early start home anyway. Way to go JR and RH. You could of had a sold out ballpark all Summer long if you had put together a competitive team. The fans were ready to come out in droves.

The owner not signing off on large contracts is also an issue. If Jerry won't allow Hahn to sign large contracts, then he spends where he can.

There have been way too many failed acquisitions over the years not to blame Hahn. But I don’t want to lose sight of the fact of what this owner, who has operated on a losing model long before Hahn came along, has inflicted on him to make his job harder than it should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think people who only follow the Sox realize how bad McCann has been since signing with the Mets.
