Quote from: zenjak on March 09, 2024, 10:31:12 PMYeah, yeah, AWOL guy, here. All the talk about this being a bridge year - I think Mgt plan is a new bridge every year built with the finest popsicle sticks scraped from the Fens pavement. The money will keep rolling in and they won't see a need to contend.The last couple of years are as low as I've seen it. I'm happy about the new up and coming core, but am afraid management will pull the rug out from under them once they get rolling. I can't see any sort of sustained success going forward with FSG. I'm afraid Cora's rant of still being the Boston Red Sox doesn't mean what we'd like it to mean.

Today, having lost a middle rotation pitcher, they will be less interested as Boras will leverage Boston's remorse into a bigger contract. Besides Monty probably never wanted to go from Series winner to work for a 65-75 win team, less than that today.I'm afraid I have to agree with you. I can't see a whole lot of good happening. The Giolito situation is bothersome on a few levels. That player option - 'oy!
,
My guess, they bring in a Lorenzen/Clevenger for $8-9mil as an innings eater, and a guy who can be insurance when Houck and/or Whitlock succumb to their own injuries. Bad karma as it worked out, but most of the pitching deals produced guys coming of surgery next year, Hendricks (late 2024?) , Fulmer, now Giolito by bad luck for a historically healthy pitcher. Don't know if Mata can ever be healthy enough to pitch in Boston.
