Well if ownership promised me that we would be spenders and and then once I signed on the dotted line changed their tunes to "uh actually we aren't spending, good luck".


I'd be pissed too. He got duped.

You know what FSG are? They are shady used car salesmen. They are the ones to sell a lemon to some poor kid looking for his first car and don't tell him that it has a blown engine.

I feel bad for Breslow but at the same time, he should've seen this coming from the two comically cheap bastards who run this team. I'd sooner go back to the Jean Yawkey years than another one under these clowns.

We have a better chance of them signing a random AAA guy with a 7 ERA from Miami named Cabrera instead 😂

I’m optimistic we can get to 81 wins which isn’t terrible

Msybe grab 4th even

I'm excited to watch him and Bello. That's probably it. Oh maybe Duran because he's fast. Other than that? Meh

I’m looking forward to pretty much every positional player - see how pitching goes and how fans act and ownership reacts

Papelbon said yesterday they got a move up their sleeves but he could have still been drunk
 
One thing I will never buy is "we don't think we're in a position to spend because we're waiting on our young players to develop". That is complete nonsense. If you're spending money on a prized free agent it's gonna be a lengthy contract and a player who immediately makes you better. The idea should be that in 2-3 years that free agent is still producing AND now your young players are contributing. It's just a complete BS line of thinking from management of any team. An excuse to not spend.

Bingo, Johnny.

Thats what you're supposed to do. You do both. But apparently the Red Sox forgot?

If you like going to the ball park no matter what place they are in and can get cheap tickets you should definitely be excited. I'd see a team 30 games under if the tickets were 5$. That's like the old days in Montreal

Ha, totally. Everytime I visit family & friends in the Tampa area, I always buy us random Rays tickets just to go but they're cheaper than the beer so it's more of the time together than anything.

ya for sure, ticket 10$, big can of beer 18$, better to pregame at Fergs next door, those tickets are cheap even if the team wins 100 games
 
The smartest thing they could do right now is announce Casas and Bello extensions. That would get people off their back a bit.
