Rosenthal speculating about Bogaerts being traded

[notin]

Agreed Oldtimer. If we traded him, then signed someone like Lindor to one of those monster contracts, I would not be happy.

 

I get the logic in trading Bogaerts. But it’s really hard to see happening at the deadline. It’s probably more likely in the off-season if it ever happens.

 

Now a lot of this is just Rosenthal‘s speculation from what Bogaerts’ contract says. I’ve seen Rosenthal’s speculation get wildly misinterpreted before. Remember a few years back when he wrote about Lackey’s minimum wage clause and said “Lackey’s only real option would be to threaten retirement” if he objected to the clause. But went on to write how he expected both sides to agree to an extension.

 

But hordes of people read that and somehow thought “LACKEY IS THREATENING TO RETIRE!!” This was boosted by the Globe’s own “journalist”/illiterate clown Tony Massarotti, who actually wrote an article stating that per Ken Rosenthal, Lackey threatened to retire. (Learn to read, Tony!)

 

So this could catch similar life and be a thing for a while. But I don’t expect it to go anywhere...

It's actually a pretty good job by Rosenthal in analyzing the possible implications of the contract IMO.

Haha. Truth here. We fans tend to take things we read in the press and run with it.

 

Agreed though, I don't expect Bogaerts to be traded. Bloom even said as much.
