The latest players of Seattle Meriners share promotion with family
Coal Young announced his move in large leagues playing for Seattle Meriners during an emotional phone call with his family.
When there were no name-giving, finger-pointing or ugly allegations Boston red sox The front office tried to explain why they did the business of their biggest star and franchise facial a day before.
Nevertheless, Red Sox President Sam Kennedy and Red Socce Chief Craig Bracelo made it clear during a 40 -minute call with reporters that there was one, and only one reason, why Rafael Davors was traded to Rafael Davors. San francisco giants,
“Finally, I think it is very clear that we could not find alignment with Rafi,” Kennedy said. “We all worked on it in the last several months, were going back to Offsen. We worked on it. We had a different vision for them that was moving ahead of them. And we could not reach there. We could not get alignment.
“We reached a divisive point and decided to take a big step.”
Just, once the divas refused to play the ground even after the first Basman Triston Cassus had a season-ending knee surgery in May, and the third basman Alex Bremann Red Sox injured his correct quadriseps after three weeks, Red Sax knew that he had to trade the dears.
Bresso said the 28 -year -old grandfather never formally demanded a trade, but his agents made it clear that it would be best for a new beginning for all parties. This fresh start began when he informed the developers on the team’s aircraft that he was doing business San francisco giants Pichrekes for Kyle Harrison, Reliever Jordan Hicks, Outfield Prospect James Tibes III and Ruki Pitcher Jose Bello. The veterans also agreed to accept the remaining part of the $ 313.5 million of the divars – approximately $ 260 million.
Breslow admitted that the timing stores won five consecutive games, considering Red Sox, but pushed back the idea that they were contesting for the playoff berth this season. He opened the night with a record of 37–36, 6, game, wild card berth just one-half game behind New York Yankis.
“This is no way, shows the waves of the white flag in 2025,” Bracelo said.
Breslow, even after losing one of the finest slogans of the game, insisted that they can be a better team without developers after the smoke is cleared.
“I think there will be an initial response that it would be difficult to sit here and say, ‘When you move a Rafi caliber player, how can I sit here and say that we are a better team?” “I admit that on paper, we do not have the same lineup we did, but it is not about the game that is played on paper. It’s about the game that is played on the field and eventually the most about winning the game we can.
“I think there is a real opportunity that at the end of the season, we are looking back and win more games than the game we have done otherwise.”
Red Sox, who has won four world series titles since 2004 – more than any team in baseball – believes that when they can be less talented, the behavior of the dress can bring down the entire team, especially with young players.
The final remaining member of the Red Sax’s 2018 championship team was originally instigated in this spring in this spring, when he signed a three -year, free agent Third Basman Alex Breaman for a contract of $ 120 million, refused to switch the positions. The developers insisted that he was his third basman, and when he at the end he said that he would be his DH, when he told him to return to the ground after the CAS season-ending injury.
“I know I am a bowler, but at the same time,” Davors said in May, “They can’t expect me to play in every situation.”
Red Sax tried to convince her to change her mind, even in the person to fly to Canasus City with Kennedy and Bracelo with owners John Henry, but the divas refused the breeze.
Red Sax waited for the divars to trust, but he never did so. They began to join with other clubs, and after weeks of exchanging trade proposals with veterans, decided that this is a step that they needed to make. Many GMs were surprised as to why Red Sox did not shop for him, but Bracelo defended the strategy and said that there was talks with other teams to understand their value.
“We interacted with other clubs …”, Bracelo said. “It’s not that it was the best deal we can find, because the best deal we can get is not necessarily enough to trade players like Rafi Davors.
“But when you consider all the factors here, it is what makes sense.”
The legendary, whose first-base production is the fourth worst in baseball, did not hesitate, received a three-time 30-hom run hitter, which is hitting .401 with a .401 on-base percentage.
Posey said in a conference call, “We are excited about adding one of the best hits in our lineup to one of the Major League baseball.” “We are clearly taking a lot of dollars, but there is a belief that adding such a man put us in a good position, win the ballgames, join the playoffs and try to win a world series, which is our ultimate goal.”
Red Sox insisted that this is still their goal, saying with bracels that they are now a more functional team with more flexibility, and an environment that will allow their young players to flourish. He did not promise that he is going to go out and in this winter, free agent outfielder will spend money or money on someone else. This does not mean that they are going to use money to keep Bremann after the season. He said that he has a “more functional roster” and would use money to meet future needs.
Nevertheless, no matter that the transpires move forward, the spotlight will be on the breslow. He is an in charge. He is responsible for ensuring that communication between players and front offices is strong. And he is certainly entitled to the wholesale of defects for the relationship between the divas and the organization and fractures beyond repair.
“This is not the result we expected,” Bracelo said, “and this has forced me to reflect on the conversation that I have, not only with Rafi, but also with opportunities to communicate differently with other players and opportunities. … I need things that I could do better.
“I don’t know if this result would have played in a different way. I think it’s not a decent opportunity, but I need to think back on the conversation and detect the humility to find out what I could do better.”
Nevertheless, it is not that it is just a different case. Red Sax did his biggest star business before the 2020 season in the future hall of Famer Muki Bates, assuming that he could not sign it. He moved away from All-Star Shortstop Xander Bogaerts after the 2022 season, when he wanted to live badly, and probably signed for at least $ 100 million less than $ 280 million, which he eventually received from San Diego Padress. And now, the developers have also gone.
“We understand that many fans are feeling disappointed …” Kennedy said. “As the Brees said, perhaps we need to look back to the things we could handle better. But it is definitely a two -type road, and we did not find for the alignment that we were needed in the best interest of Boston Red Socks. So, we decided that we had done …
“We did what we felt that in the best interests of Red Sox, to win and out, to win the championship, and to continue chasing a culture and consistently a culture, which we want everyone to incarnate in the club house.”
While the Red Sox Front Office reiterated that it was a pure baseball trade, the honest truth is that it was a culture trade. They did not believe that they could win another championship with developers. He believed that he was a wrong man to be the focus of franchise. He did not think he would become a leader.
So, he has gone.
And Boston becomes the latest STA to depart.
“This is fine, it is sometimes in a long-term relationship,” Kennedy said. “We expected Boston in the best interest of Red Sox, and in this case, did the best job in this matter in Rafael Davors. … We did not have the same shared vision for the team’s best roles on the field.”
The time will tell if it was a decision that would bother red sox for years like Bates, or if it was a step that would be important for the future of the club.
For now, this is an ugly divorce with no winner or defeat, just a lot of pain.
