    All 4 of our sports teams seem to have competent GM's right now. So much fun. Sox won back to back division titles. Bruins are one of the best teams in the league. Celtics are one of the two best teams in the east and have been rolling since middle of last season. Pats appeared in 3 of the last 4 super bowls. Times have been pretty good since 1999.

    It's what happens when you are completely unable to win the division for 5 straight years.
  3. mvp 78
    Yeah, they re-signed him this offseason.
  4. mvp 78
    Also, at that point, you may as well just roll out Nunez as a more athletic option than Hanley.
  5. mvp 78
    No, because Hanley is probably our #7 hitter.
  6. mvp 78
    I really don't see them adding a pitcher. If they don't sign JD, they may just get Nunez and LoMo and be done with it. I bet they just sign Nunez and go with Hanley as DH.
  7. mvp 78
    Especially when EE only signed for 3/60 last offseason.
  8. mvp 78
    Even better at this point.
  9. mvp 78
    Chris Young.
  10. mvp 78
    Addison Reed.

    A good portion of the top tier of FA's are Boras clients, but I agree that exclusively blaming Boras is silly.

    @PeteAbe #RedSox AAA catcher Jake Romanski was suspended for 100 games by MLB after testing positive for amphetamine. He is on the spring training roster.
  14. mvp 78
    I like him more than Marrero.
  15. mvp 78
    I welcome 2018 Pedro Ciriaco and other ST superstars that get me amped up.
  16. mvp 78
    Many also live in TX, FL (where he's from), CA, etc.
  17. mvp 78
    The bad thing is if the Sox get into a legal situation with Hanley or if they have to pay him in 2019.
  18. mvp 78
    It's a sunk cost. Just eat the one year salary at this point and move on.
  19. mvp 78
    So why stay with AZ then if he's from FL and still resides there in the offseason? Also, maintaining two homes is pretty easy if you have $100M.
  20. mvp 78
    My worry is that he plays well and the Sox prevent him from getting the option by 20 ab's or so. To me, I think Hanley would then have a legit gripe and could try to sue the Sox for the $20M. That would be a PR nightmare for the Sox and could hinder them signing FA's in the future. My position has nothing to do with how well Hanley may or may not play this year.
  21. mvp 78
    And still, THE BEST WAY TO HAVE HANLEY NOT GET HIS VESTING OPTION IS TO JUST NOT HAVE HIM PLAY FOR THE SOX THIS YEAR. That's not really up for debate. Waiving him now automatically gets rid of him potentially earning that vesting option.
  22. mvp 78
    Correct. To me, I'd rather him go play for the O's this year and rake than have to pay him a dime next season.
  23. mvp 78
    Sure, he's going to get more rest days going forward. I'm not sure it will be more likely to prevent him from getting injured though.
  24. mvp 78
    The best way to prevent Hanley from vesting is to sign JD and waive Hanley.
  25. mvp 78
    Yeah, Boras wants to get paid too.
