"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

Desperate dave needs to make the signing of ohtani the most important thing in his life this offseason!
This guy is the real deal and exactly what we need.
A free agent that we might consider to replace Moreland is Santana.
Ohtani is the most important? Right now, the guy is all hype. Just likr Daisuke was at one point..
Ohtani can be offered the most money in NY and a few other places, not Boston. That being said, the difference is minimal in terms of professional baseball salaries. I hope the Yankees have the inside track, but nobody really knows right now
Dombrowski is doing and saying all the correct things.
@jtomase
That's by far the least comfortable I've ever seen Dave Dombrowski in a press conference. There was little point to any of that.
@PeteAbe
Lots of "I would not disclose that" from Dombrowski today. Press conference a bit contentious. Red Sox never handle breakups well.
@EvanDrellich
Dombrowski had an opportunity today to set a narrative, explain, even if just generally, what happened, and put issue to bed.
Bell, you are 100% right. The media is just mad DD let their buddy go.
Smart GM's will say this. You don't tip your hand on Trades. JBJ 25 AB's in Post Season, 13 K's. .160 BA. Numbers like these you would have to save like 2 runs a game, every game to justify the Defense.
1st half .280
2nd half .204
Too bad just so inconsistent.
Like I said Tito threw Kipnis out in CF and hasn't played there since College, only reason wants his Offense. Not worried about the Defense, figures he'll be good enough.
