    I would not, actually. Not even sure what is considered a "normal" personality vs "not normal." 

    Regardless, part of Brooks' job is to manage different personalities and egos. If he needs it to be a very specific type of personality, maybe he just sucks at that part of his job?

    He didn't leave because of Brooks.  He left for more money and greater flexibility.  All things being equal, he would have stayed.

    It's rare to have a perfect relationship with a boss.  If what is reported was the biggest complaint, that is a good working relationship

  2. That's a hatchet job by von showen.  The two facts are unrelated and he has to know how it will be read by putting them next to each other.

    The biggest of Bennetti supporters would admit he has an unusual (not normal) personality.

    The truth of the story is right there very early.  He left for more money and greater flexibility than the sox offered.  That truth just wasn't sufficiently sensational.

    That is a very special group and great honor for Robert. Now its time for him to focus on 40-40. After last night's game he is on target for 40-40 of doubles and home runs. Now if Robert gets in that rare club and it's only Frank Thomas and Albert Belle of Sox players, as well as only 36 other players in baseball history. 

    hopefully add 20 SB this year as well

    Yeah, force him to get surgery on that back and hope he comes to ST in 2024 ready to earn his next paycheck.  That's all you can do.  

    Moncada seems like the kind of guy who will get himself into the best playing shape for his possible contract year...or maybe he'll be satisfied with his money and eat Twinkies all off season

    They aren’t calling it a rebuild but it is.  Jerry doesn’t care.  Why would he?  He has his money.  Shed some payroll 

    If he really cared about winning, he would have foregone his typical budgetary discipline and spent wildly this off season while he had an open window.

    People can call if whatever they want, this doesn't look like a team poised to compete next year.

    This is simply not true.  It was reported that Giolito wanted long term and everything fell apart when they had to go to arbitration over a difference of 50k

    He would have signed if the Sox had made an offer he couldn't refuse.  His mantra every year was that he knew his market value, which didn't change even after a down year.
