Thanks Suspensions, injuries, drama. There a couple things I know that he's done that were stupid. Nothing egregious or anything, but things that burn bridges. Again, this is before his private stuff, again I'm not referencing that stuff. Can't imagine that helps things either though.
December 8, 20223 yr Hello all just wanted to reply to this topic I'm sick at home with nothing better to do, so I think we should trade Anderson only if we get top quality back!! Abreu is gone already, there are many on here who say to maximize trade value so now is the time to trade Anderson. Let's not get into the whole racial aspect please... I loved the way Timmy energized the troops but those days are gone. If we can't win now with JR emptying his pockets then we or the Sox have to pivot. Wow so much political correctness here but anyway those are my thoughts. I don't know the prospects we should get but don't just give TA away!! Thanks all for listening.

You've asked me a million questions or at least one in every post lol. Hard to keep them all straight. You never answer direct questions though. Ain't no denying that. Kind of like your guy Rick Hahn. No wonder you stan for him so much.

December 8, 20223 yr 3 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: addition by subtraction ? the teams record without anderson the past few years is like 15 games under 500, with him they're like 40 games over. addition by subtraction is the funniest s%*# i've read here in a long time. You're a real beat off eh? His presence would be the positive subtraction, there would be a haul coming back to supplement his exit on the field. I didn't know I had to be so literal. And where were you Thanksgiving night when I let the good folks on here know the team was signing a starter? You won't find any time line that had that s%*# before me. By about a day. I'll take my L's but be consistent or f*** off and ignore me.

It would be nice to get the haul and than turn around and sign Swanson. Upgrade the D, maintain the offense, get more assets. Win WIN WIN. Even though I am a huge TA fan.

What if the market for 9-11 year deals is done and all that is left is a 5 year deal. The beauty of having this many free agent shortstops out there is at some point the # of teams that are willing to do this might be reduced.

I was all about signing those two. Swanson has had 2 years above 3 WAR counting the shortened 2020). He's not a 100 milly guy for me.

How is that literal mediocrity? they aren't going for it and spending money, that's the point at least a rebuild sets you up for the future, and rebuilds the desert that is our farm system it also cuts payroll so theoretically in 2 to 3 years, you can burn 35-40m/year on a huge all star Check out the 2025 and 2026 Free Agent class on Spotrac https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/2025/outfield/ https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/free-agents/2026/outfield/

December 8, 20223 yr Hahn doesn't have a lot of credibility, but he has said he is not going to drastically reshape the team. Of course, he also said that he would do more with trades than free agency. If he trades Tim, would he do something else with a trade? I've always thought Tim should quit the macho stuff and concentrate on developing as a standout major league player. Perhaps a different manager can help. I am not going to speculate further on a tweet.

Even though I am a huge TA fan. As I said in the threads about Gio and Liam, it would be great if the Sox could pull that off, but there isn't even a peep that the Sox have been talking to the FA SS's, and no reason to believe they have.
