  1. Story was 140 million yea?

    280 is too fucking much. I am seriously anti Bloom. But no way should we pay X 280 and 11 years lmao

  2. They can and did.

    Boston fans are pissed because we’re spoiled. Even after showing how this approach is what GOT us 4 rings, fans still hate it cuz they’d rather lose with guys they like than win rings now

  3. Oh we’re not allowed to be upset. It’s not Blooms fault. The Bloom defenders won’t allow this

  4. I’m disappointed they didn’t sign Bogaerts. I’m pissed that they blew all this hot air about resigning him and gave up the chance to get real return through a trade, but always knew they weren’t serious enough to win the inevitable bidding war.

    This is the real unforgivable aspect of Bloom. It’s not just that he’s cheap, he’s not good at being cheap.

    He’s gun shy on these big decisions. We’ve all seen it before, some people aren’t cut out for the Boston sports spotlight/pressure cooker.

  5. I am very disappointed. The issue has always been the ability to sign your homegrown players long term when possible. It didn’t need to get to Free Agency to finally have a better offer on the table for Xander but here we are.

  6. I get not signing Xander after the 11 year offer, but it should have never gotten to this point. They should have extended him last year with the terms they offered this year and we wouldnt be in this mess. Another home grown star gone

  7. SIGN DEVERS RIGHT NOW. Today. This morning. Or we will be pissed as fans.

    And now make another splash. Go get Correa or something.

  8. Really okay with not giving Xander that contract and honestly understand not giving him an extension, either. I don’t even think 6/160 would’ve looked great considering his declining peripherals and long term position question marks.

    The issue is the homegrown aspect of this. Everyone wants to keep the players who come up through the organization and that’s totally valid. The Red Sox seem to want to keep their own guys if they come at a discount, essentially looking at it objectively, but that’s no fun for a fan.

    I also think it’s ironic people are shitting on Bloom in this thread considering moves of the previous 2 regimes were mentioned here.
