Mookie Betts Newsbeat
Monday, December 19, 2022Inside the Red Sox’s free agency plans after Xander Bogaerts
It’s pretty funny saying they want a “Dodgers-style of sustained success” when the Red Sox traded Mookie Betts to the Dodgers who signed him. You keep your young superstar players and get them locked up early, you don’t let them dangle until they get close to free agency. (Also see Bogaerts.)
I hope Bloom likes the criticism from multiple sources in the know. I’m sure those sources aren’t owner friendly. /s Of course, if this is true, Bloom shouldn’t be in charge.
Sure, you “can’t sit around regretting mistakes of the past.” But, you should remember and learn from them. Repeating the same mistakes over and over don’t point to the latter.
More anonymous sources laying the groundwork for the future. Anyway, there is a lot of other good stuff in the article, including info about Bogaerts willingness to take an extension after Story signed.
It’s not about the spending for me. It’s about the right spending. A team has to properly evaluate their best young players and get them signed as soon as they can. They can’t fritter away cash on mediocity and not spend money to keep their best homegrown players. Betts and Bogaerts should have been able to fit within the Red Sox long-term budget. Alas, they can’t go back. Now they either have to overpay to keep Devers or be doomed to repeat the same mistake, again. Ugh. jimfurtado
