Red Sox/MLB 2023 Off Season Part II - Source: Trevor Story has internal brace surgery

[Therick67]

Great line by Harold Reynolds a minute ago on MLB.Network’s Hot Stove, ‘the Bruins have a better chance of beating the Yankees than the Red Sox’

But who has better prospects?

 

[DKH]

Sox should have signed Correa 7/230 and Wacha and they are 90+ win team

But who has better prospects?

That’s good I may steal this from you

hoping everyday they sell the team to an owner who cares about beating NY

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

The timing today of the Devers contract and press conference is hilarious.

Yet Chaim is your guy

Sox should have signed Correa 7/230

Let's sign everyone with concerning medicals to big money deals

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

There's no one left that moves the needle on this bad roster.

So it amounts to what we said they're going to do. Spend money just to reach the threshold so when the fans complain they can say 'BuT wE sPeNt MoNeY"

 

[DKH]

I’d go get Ahmed and keep Kike in CF

Silver lining - lot of good seats whenever you want to see a gsme, top 10 Farm system (Bruins 30th so Sox crushing them there).

Two wrongs don't makle it right. Signing Correa would have been as bad as Story. As soon as the Sox are entering their next true championship window the earliest, both of these guys will be past their primes. Story may already be in heavy decline depending how the surgery goes.

You should spend the big bucks when your team is a piece or two away, but this Sox team is far from that. They need to let the core develop and not rush it. You cannot force your way to the top in this league anymore, neither via draft nor via free agency.

I wish Bloom had been able to take a step back and not make a nonsensical signing in Story last year. They a) would have a better draft pick by now b) could have easily stayed under the tax last year which would have come in handy now and in the near future and c) not have a contract on the books for a player that is going to play 2B in the future when he was signed to be a SS.

What source has us as a top 10 farm system? Been looking around but haven't been able to find that.

 

[Shaun]

john henry couldn’t take the time to show up??

 

[World of Wardlow]

What's the real story here?

Did Trevor Story know about the injury months ago and tried to brush it off, hoping it wouldn't be anything serious?

or

Did he just get hurt recently, and this wasn't something from months ago that he either knew/hid?

more spin and PR

Officially official! Good on Bloom and the Sox, once again, getting Devers signed to be a Red Sox for the best years of his career. A great day.

None that I know of.

We're just about to the point in the year where sources such as ESPN, MLB.com, and Baseball America start releasing their farm system rankings. I believe that around the middle of last season, most had the Red Sox just outside the Top 10.

The thinking seems to be that some of the teams ahead of the Red Sox had players "graduate" from prospect status, so that should enable the Red Sox to move up.

We'll see.

We might not ever know that. What we do know is that his elbow was a concern for other teams when the Sox signed him. This was basically forecasted just like TJ has been forecasted for Chris Sale.

[BruinsFanSince94]

Can we sell Werner at least?

Until he demands a trade in 2 years....

e: Wonder why the deleted the tweet. Who runs the Sox twitter?

 

[World of Wardlow]

Our roster sucks. For a rich team like red sox to put out a roster like this .... yikes. Yet, people still buy tickets. SMH

At this point, might as well sign Jose Iglesias. Best SS option out there.

Rob Bradford discusses what Story told him multiple times throughout last season.

Kiki Hernandez tweeted Bull Shit

He works out with him - I’ll wait till what 98.5 Sports Hub or Fawx News reports since it must be true
BWAHAHAHAH

Because a player is circling the wagons to support another teammate and friend, it makes the reporting of multiple sources untrue? Again, they saw a decrease in velocity year over year over year, which indicates elbow issues. It was known before he came here that he had issues. They got worse. So to suggest this just came out of nowhere despite it being out there for years? Laughable.

Like I said before, it's completely laughable.

This is it in a nutshell. Last year for infielders we had Devers at third, Xander at SS, Story at 2nd, and Hosmer at 1st. This year we have Devers at 3rd, Heywood Jablome at SS, Richard Cranium at 2nd, and Hugh Jorgan at first. Yet they still have one of the highest priced tickets in all of baseball. Why are people still not only supporting this ownership group, but realistically, enabling them?

Because Fenway is beautiful and my friends and I love the purity of baseball!!! I even still keep score with a pencil, not pen. In case I need to erase and fix any errors when the Yankees are up on is 13-1 in the 5th.
