You guys realize they still have a really good lineup right?
The only way they’ll suck is if the pitching doesn’t show up again imo.

This is a hard pill to swallow, however, it was an issue of being forced into a tough situation financially and with the potentiality for Betts to walk. The return is paltry and disappointing. However, I will always laugh when fans say "They're done". Please come to me when we're above 90 wins next year and potentially a playoff team. Betts is a franchise defining player, and this hurts on every level. However, welcome to the world of having no standing power. Betts is a RENTAL, not a signed player. Price is 34, coming off an injury riddled season albeit he looked good prior to getting hurt and has 3 years at 96 M in cap compensation. I don't like the profile of Graterol, and we lost the deal in every sense, but if Verdugo was the need then it makes sense that the Dodgers organization refused to have any part of a Gonsolin, Downs, Ruiz trade inclusion. There was no leverage from the Sox side, if they fully intended on getting rid of Price with the best rental in the game. Sorry Lindor.

Well, the Red Sox have already ruined our Summah... a 4th outfielder and pudgy reliever for Betts and they are still paying 1/2 of Price's salary. At least we have the Celtics and the Bruins who both will be strong contenders this Spring.

If that's it, I'd say I'm fully aboard the Fire Bloom bandwagon... What a f-ng joke This is all Henry. I'm convinced he forced Blooms hand.

At least give me the satisfaction of having shinny prospects damn it. Now our big league team sucks and or farm sucks even harder. Now mlb can just hit us the draft pick penalty to sink us even more

Mookie by himself should’ve gotten that kind of return, completely gave away Price and paid a large chunk of the contract on top of it. Not a very promising first big deal from Chain.

Verdugo and Graterol are a 4th outfielder and an arm that’s gonna definitely flame out I guess. Blessed to have such great talent evaluators in here

I will buy it when Mookie signs an extension. He has said all along that he's not signing before he enters UFA. So if that's the case, then I will lose my mind. However, it's time to move on.

Rosenthal on MLBN said he isn't certain how much money Sox are throwing in yet. Hopefully it's less than half of the 96 million owed.

No salary relief. No prospects really.
What are you doing Bloom? Your old boss just had his way with you.
I would have preferred Downs than this pitcher. Christ.

I'm old enough to remember the last time the Sox made a lopsided deal to save the owner some money.

There is no coming back from a deal where you traded a 27 year old MVP..........and attached an injury prone albatross contract AND cash to get a garbage package. Hahaha the Bloom error will be short.

I don’t think they care too much about really competing this year. But hopefully guys like Chavis, Benintendi, etc can step up and improve a little bit to help offset the huge loss of Mookie. Graterol will hopefully either stick in the rotation or at least be a useful high leverage guy. A good bullpen would have gone a long way last year.

Apparently Henry sold the team to fucking Jacobs or Gaston during the offseason
