Sox extend Bello

[mvp 78]

Except, of course, Marcus. No one needed to be extended more in Red Sox history.

 

Now I need to go cry... and drink...

I was thinking that Bloom didn't make any similar moves, but there was the Whitlock extension. Not sure why he didn't try to extend Raffy earlier. There weren't really many other notable guys around that were in need of extending during his tenure.

 

They did try to extend Devers earlier, right after Bogaerts rebuffed the 4 year $90mill extension.. They offered Devers a deal similar to the extension Matt Olson received in Atlanta, with the article stating they viewed him as a first baseman long term.

 

Devers did not agree with their assessment...

You don’t need a 100% success rate on these types of deals for it to make good business sense. Maybe even 50% would save mi ey, long term.

 

this was a good move but it does nothing to improve the team in the meantime

Yeah aa 50% success rate is about the ceiling in everything about this RS season.

That’s the MLB success rate on FA’s. Giving the Sox a 50% ranking, which is normal, is out of character, for you.

Your reading comprehension is alarming.

Sorry to side with jad here, but he's absolutely right. Not what he said at all.
