Maybe the Red Sox did't need to pick up a quality starter to back up Crotchet as Giolito seems to be doing that job now. He doesn't like to get up in the morning but if he continues to pitch like that maybe he needs to start doing so as he sure looked good yesterday.

What potentially could happen is we might fall just short of a playoff chance or a playoff win and look back at "If only we made a deal"
With the winning that this team has been doing John Henry is hanging them out to dry in my opinion
John Henry has too many irons in the fire and needs to sell some of them and concentrate on the others. It does not do any of the teams any good if they are not furnished with enough capital to be the best franchise in that particular sport.

I feel that either way people are going to complain.
Sounds like all the teams wanted Jarren Duran.
They would have gratefully accepted any of the other your top players the sox have right now but the sox threw them their garbage instead. There was really not much out there for the Red Sox to grab anyway and they made the right moves in doing practically nothing! Just look at the Devers trade and what that could mean for the sox going forward. They removed a cancer from their organization and got some money back to give to these young studs and Bregman!

That's what is fans do, that's nothing new
I was hoping they moved Duran, I think he is pretty overrated
I think you will see Duran moved over the winter as they have too many outfield studs waiting in the wings to come aboard! He will be highly sought after by teams and will draw most of the attention this winter!
I listened to 1 inning of that all women broadcasting crew and I had to turn the Chanel over to the Royals broadcast. Those 2 women never shut up from the time they started until I changed the channel. I really dont like oBrien but he is better than what was on there tonight. The Red Sox won and the Yankees continue their losing streak.
I know there aren't many Red Sox fans on here but you missed a great game last night if you were not tuned in except for the announcing crew that were just trying to make an expression for the ladies. Any of you doubters out there ready to jump on the bandwagon yet? The MLB package is cheap for the rest of the season!
I don't like constant chatter from an announcer of a baseball game. They seemed to be very knowledgeable of the game but were just trying too hard to impress everybody! I guess I just liked Orsillo, Eck and Remy's style of broadcasting best!
I’m just joking around tommy. I read your first post and thought… “isn’t that what the announcers do? Talk the whole time…”. Anyways. I’ve been following the Red Sox and they’ve been red hot. Fun team to watch.

I think there are quite a few Red Sox fans on here.
I followed the game on line, MLB.com .

I agree about the women announcers, they never seem to take a break. The Orsillo/Eck/Remy days were the best, unless you go way, way back to Curt Gowdy. If they would just take a few seconds to just listen to crowd noise, it would be better than them having a gab fest.
As for John Henry...we really don't know and never will know what goes on behind the scenes. I doubt he needs to sell any assets to pour money into the Red Sox, acquisitions just need to play better. The Red Sox will always be somebody's cash cow
It was good to see them lock up Anthony for 8 years, maybe they've learned their lesson about letting former fan favorites and excellent players go...Devers being the exception. I think Devers thought too much of his skill set, I'm glad he's gone. I predict Jarren Duran will be gone as Anthony now sparkles in the outfield. I also predict that Bregman will opt out and go for more money elsewhere, I guess $120m for 6 months of playing baseball doesn't quite cut it. But, to be fair, who among us wouldn't go for more money if its offered?
Cora (the cheater) inserted his foot into his mouth claiming LIam Hendriks wouldn't pitch again this year. Hendriks took umbrage, talked to the cheater and he had to walk it back. Can we send him to single A??
I agree with most everything you said but hope you are wrong about Bregman as he has a lot to do with these rookies being as good as they are. he constantly talks to them and shows them the right way to play the game and is there for them when they screw up. Duran will be used to pick up a young stud of a pitcher while he is still a hot commodity. They still have a stud outfielder coming up that will need major league placement to replace Duran. They cant keep them all!
He is a great player but the Red Sox have to put 24 other players on the field and someone has to go to get another stud pitcher to go with Crotchet and to get a good pitcher you have to give something good back to the other team.

Loving it!!! 🍻

Tell me more about how those ladies in the booth wouldn’t let you get a word in. Haha.

I believe they should keep Duran.
Good fielder , good hitter and very fast . great triples hitter.
