    2023 Starting Rotation

    Do you have proof that Sale won't be healthy other then a bunch of non pitching related injuries?

    Red Sox sign Corey Kluber

    Do you have evidence to prove Kluber was aquired to flip?

    Red Sox sign Corey Kluber

    The time to take risk is when you have a bunch of minor leaguers on the cusp. Bloom needs to see what shakes out this season, which does not leave room for a ton of additions. I am also unsure of how signing Yoshida and risk averse happens in the same post.

    Let’s sign a starting pitcher!

    I tried the common sense approach and it didn't work.

    Let’s sign a starting pitcher!

    I believe that those of us who are not reactionary, are seeing the plan being build up the farm and install a core of cost controlled young players and then supplement them with free agents and trade. At the same time Bloom wants to contend and so going over the cap or not going over the cap...

    Poll: Rate Your Faith in the Red Sox Front Office

    Because they actually did make moves to improve the team at the deadline.

    Let’s sign a starting pitcher!

    There is clearly a plan and even if you disagree with what Bloom did during the trade deadline, it doesn't mean it didn't make sense. Honestly I am kind of confused. People on this board are screaming that the Red Sox should make the playoffs ever year, but when Bloom takes steps to make that a...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Sure. It is also likely that any player might not be as sharp as one hopes. What makes you down on Sale. Or is gut feeling the new market inefficency?

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/12/24/sports/carlos-correas-stunning-about-face-shows-an-agreement-is-start-signed-contract-is-real-deal/ I am not sure what the point is? Should we feel bad for Millionaires?

    How long will Chaim last?

    Except they refer to us as Bloomers and it is meant derogatorily. Furthermore referring to the current plan as whatever that is, is in and of itself dismissive. More to the point, I don't think Rovine is attacking anyone personally. He is saying their arguments are a form of wish casting and...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Bloom would be foolish to try to replace Bogey with another player that provides his offensive upside. What Bloom needs to do now is to collect a bunch of players that can replace what Bogey has provided. I would argue that he has upgraded the bullpen and I am bullish on the rotation with Bello...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    I don't think Bloom is as on the hot seat as you might think he is. Major league teams need stars, but that is not synomous with going full Mets. I think ownership and Bloom see the Astros and Dodgers and want to get to the point where they might have one or two gigantic contracts on the books...

    Red Sox Rumors - Just Kidding

    Given the contracts being given out to guys like Degrom and Nimmo, it was only a matter of time before somebody failed their physical. I guess Correa drew the short straw.

    While it would have been foolish of Bloom to expect to get 200 innings out of Sale, it wasn't foolish to think he would get more then five innings from him. Another way of looking at things is that Bloom signed Wacha and planned to start him in the bullpen if everybody was healthy coming out of...

    By the time 2026 rolls around the Dodgers will only have three commitments on their payroll. The only player they have decided to give a massive contract to was Betts. Freeman's contract has more in common with Trevor Story's contract then it does Betts. So I am kind of wondering what you mean...

    It was a calculated risk. The Sox were two games out of the wildcard. It wouldn't have made sense to try to upgrade using prime prospects, but rolling the dice on draft position isn't a high crime imho. At the end of the day Bloom probably can't win. If he had traded X, JDM etc people would...

    Justin Turner declines option (11.03.23 update)

    It was Mr. Mustard in the dining room with the pitch fork. I think we make a good team.

    Justin Turner declines option (11.03.23 update)

    I think that is interesting as well. It certainly looks like Bloom values plate discipline

    Nice signing. And based on how people were carrying on I thought the off season was over.

    One of two choices: Blow it up or build it back up?

    Just for posterity sake I am not calling anyone insane. I am calling peoples arguments as insane, but since I am the problem here over and out until some news breaks.
