"At this point I don't think it makes sense to sacrifice future wins for 2024 wins" I am pretty sure thats more referring to trading the farm for a starter

[/b] that makes zero sense and I have no damn clue how you got that...[/quote] You don't see how pointing out that the same team we have today is the same crappy team we had at the end of last year, all while saying that Breslow was free to sign any contract he wanted is a shot at him? Seems pretty obvious to me that he's tired of all the talk about ownership being too cheap to put a quality team on the field, when Breslow could have been spending this entire time if he wanted to. [/quote] no.... you are reading way to much into it

Seems pretty obvious they don't feel bad for having high expectations. But this quote stands out, "We certainly aren’t happy with the current roster as it was at the end of last year." Considering "that" team, is still almost entirely "this" team...it certainly looks like the honeymoon is over between Ownership and Breslow.[/b] that makes zero sense and I have no damn clue how you got that...

Lol the MassLive writers must just sit in a circle and bitch about everything they possibly can 24/7. What a miserable collective they’ve been all offseason. They need to touch grass Yup

When random dudes on Twitter might actually know things? (Suggested Soler had dropped his asking price from 3 years to 2 years.) 🤷♂️ At this point he is probably accurate as any reporter not named passan.

i just read were shopping Yoshisa and Jensen. So basically were a small market team. I guess we have to have the Rays mentality and expect to sign no one every year. The team is *not* shopping Yoshida — they took calls that inquired about his availability. Jansen on the other hand seems to be a goner which is fine by me if it’s young SP coming back. Yup.

There are no reports that they’re looking into trading Yoshida. There are reports that teams have been coming to them about Yoshida. That might be a fair distinction, but I would wonder at teams feel like he's available? I doubt teams are calling them about Devers, Houck, Duran, or Story. From what I'm reading the Red Sox are at least listening to offers. Every team should at least be listening to offers on every player. If a team whats to absurdly overpay for a player, it would be malpractice to not at least listen to the offer

According to Hector Gomez the Sox will be outbid yet again “Outbud again” seems very editorialized, or is being fed things from the agent

Jordan Hicks 4/44 to San Fran to be a starter Um, so that's a choice and the Boras clients continue to have less and less destinations

Yah, and if that was the case, why would the ownership allow him to spend like that if they didn't trust him? The reporting above, is saying the opposite of the other report... And Both cant be true... So which is it? And if you were going to allow him to spend Money this offseason, why fire him? It sure seemed like the plan was to reset the CBT in 2022 and spend in 2023 and 2024 with 2024-25 as the opening window. It all went pear-shaped when they didn’t get under in ‘22 and had to shift into neutral in ‘23 instead of accelerating. So I can see where if things had gone as planned, CB1 would still be there and spending more. But still, my point is, that (my reading at least) Alex is saying that ownership was going to allow Bloom to spend big this offseason, which is not something you do, when you just had to cap what he could spend (because you can't trust him to spend wisely) ... And again.. If ownership WAS going to allow him to spend big this offseaon then why fire him if you trusted him to spend big?

I think that the last sentence is understandable from the POV of Craig. (especially since outside of Ohtani and Yamamoto, there were not really that many "difference makers" on the SP side' And given the contracts that both got (the largely differed contract for Ohtani and those that Yamamoto turned down from the NY teams which IIRC were bigger than what LA gave) seems like the chances of us singing either (even if we threw money at them) was minuscule the Reporting about bloom in the above piece also seems at odds with the earlier reporting that the FO was not happy with how he handled the past few trade deadlines and reportedly imposed a hard cap on him as a result I can see the rationale behind why they might think that though. If Bloom had been retained he would have had to of known the clock was ticking and he needed to have an impactful offseason, I wouldn't necessarily say out of desperation but something along those lines. Where as Breslow theoretically should have more of a leash right now since Bloom was at the end of his rope so he shouldn't feel the same type of pressure Bloom would have. Yah, and if that was the case, why would the ownership allow him to spend like that if they didn't trust him? The reporting above, is saying the opposite of the other report...

Don’t worry guys we’ll make Winckowski a Starter First guys were too expensive. Now we see guys getting reasonable deals and not doing anything so what are we doing? Lolol. I wanted nothing to do with him. He is a head case and not good in the clubhouse Brian Cashman would be just absolutely stupid to bring that guy here,” Gannati said on “Boomer and Gio” on Thursday, via Audacy. “He was a mess in New York. He was an absolute jerk. He was a terrible person in the clubhouse. He was part of that faction with Javy Baez doing the thumbs down. He fought with everybody. The guy is the pits. He sucks. He is sludge. He’s a slug.” www.nj.com/yankees/2024/01/yankees-would-be-stupid-to-sign-pitcher-whos-an-absolute-jerk-says-ny-host.html
