yeah it's not gonna be huge news cause people just really want a big signing as proof ownership is willing to invest (and I get that), but adding Bailey, Willard, and Boddy in one offseason is kinda a really big deal.

For what, 5 years from now? I could get on board with that if this type of philosophy was put into place when they hired Chaim Bloom.

 

[Alicat]

I miss him

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

I miss him

 

[Mione134]

Well we all know he's not coming back.

I don't see these new hires as something you'll need to wait 5 years to see pay off. Like sure, hopefully this will help them better evaluate pitching talent in the draft and that will pay off down the road. But they're bringing in guys that have proven track records at getting the most out of the arms, that should have an immediate impact.

 

[GatorMike]

Hmmm....

[GatorMike]

That's nuts.

There's a scenario where there isn't a line in the payroll, but that Breslow isn't allowed to spend $X for Y years on pitchers over 30, which knocks out Montgomery, Imanaga, and Snell. Suddenly, there isn't anyone good left who you're allowed to sign.

And maybe there's a similar line for position players. His hands are tied, but ownership can publicly say there's no internal team cap, because that's technically the case, and Breslow is too new to make a stink about it publicly (or doesn't actually disagree with that strategy).

Yah I think this is likely

Just stop with Red Sox in it narrative- it’s irritating

Please have Craig Brelow announce we aren’t in on anything

We got burned signing a pitcher 30 or one and pissed away 145 M

We like our prospects

Also no on Duval no on Turner

why? To win 81 games instead of 74

 

[Seidenbergy]

Collusion.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Why is anyone having a glimmer of hope with this horseshit like it is the movie Major League

 

[GatorMike]

Collusion.

Is it collusion, or is it the fact that half the league has no idea what their next TV contract will look like?

Bunch of f***ing morons. Enter this offseason with that "full throttle" quote and come out of the other end saying you're gonna reduce spending. It's really hard to burn all the goodwill that 4 world series in 20 years got this ownership group, but they sure are trying their hardest. Team is a laughingstock right now.

I think we, as a fanbase, are entitled to tar and feather Tom Werner but that’s just me. I do not know the law. But if you say “full throttle” then hit us with “our payroll is going to be lower in 2024” while maintaining if not increasing ticket prices then there should be something on the books against that

 

[EverettMike]

This ownership group has no idea what they're in for. They don't know what it's like to actually have this city come down on you with all it's weight.

 

[GatorMike]

Their plan had better work out.

 

[Mione134]

losers

Oh he can absolutely go f*** off.

What a loser franchise we are now. A f***ing joke. And thr AUDACITY to raise ticket prices while we have finished in 4th place for the last few seasons.

Go buy yourself a brick. Gtfo

 

[N o o d l e s]

At least they’re finally admitting it

But hey, they raised those ticket prices. Charge top dollar for everything. Treating the paying customers like suckers. Screw these guys..

 

[GatorMike]

Well, that's a little insulting...

 

[McGarnagle]

Werner is a damn rat.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Cash cow.

Anyone who buys tickets is making ownership say thanks
