Gonna be an interesting off season in NY.
Cole, Soto, the player formerly known as Anthony Rizzo
Boone? How does he survive this?
Judge getting crucified in many circles.
Sure they’ll re-load…..and they’re loaded with cash…..but they’ve spent how many billion over the last decade and a half for nothing but failure?

How the hell did Cole blow the game? Just asking for everyone else that actually paid attention

You could make a case they just won the World Series without their 3 best pitchers
Somebody please explain to me how A-Rod gets paid to be on television......Ortiz too, for that matter.

Soto is going to get $600+ and he earned it. Yankees can't afford to lose him, but other owners like Cohen and Ricketts are going to offer the moon. It's going to be competitive.
Cashman and Steinbrenner seem oddly faithful to Boone, but I don't know if Boone can survive this. Hal's dad would go scorched earth and fire Boone and trade Judge if he were alive.
Judge had a really bad series, and that market can be brutal to underperforming players but I think he's going to survive and be fine.

5-0 bases loaded, two outs and Betts hits a grounder to Rizzo who looks up to toss to Cole who didn’t cover
He should have been out of inning 5-0
He should have been out of inning 5-0

Cole was a member of that defense that failed, so his excuses run thin. But he still should've got out of it and pitched well enough to win. Judge botching that fly out was the single biggest contributor to the loss.

If you truly are a fan of this ball club, you should be outraged by this. Especially given how the Dodgers just won a world series with a handful of the Red Sox's own players.
This team needs stop pretending they are Tampa Bay and Oakland and start spending money again. If that means selling this club to someone with deep pockets, then so be it. I am done with the excuses of why this team can't spend to the levels of the Dodgers to get premium talent.
I've accepted a long time ago that John Henry sucks and he needs to leave the organization.
The Sox being on that list is downright embarrassing, but not surprising.
I've said it many times before, but I'd be more comfortable if this team was owned by an oil sheikh or an oligarch from some country rather than Henry and Werner. At least they would spend money to win. I know this isn't like soccer where that is common, but I just want to see my team win again.
Ask long-time employees of the Sox and Globe they all say the problem is
She is only 46 and not going away.
