I think they all use different assumptions about player benefits though. If you used the SoxProspects assumptions on player benefits for TOR, their number probably goes up too.
I could see him still getting 3/51 in a few years. Would he opt out after this year? Maybe if he has a big year in '25 and believe the lack of a QO will give him a really good deal.
Crochet said yesterday that he's leaning towards just pitching this whole season and seeing how it goes. Sox are going to have to really knock him over with an offer.
We already know he'll have a really gad stretch at some point. Pulling him off position midseason will only create unnecessary drama IMO. Just pull the bandaid now.
It's a terrible plan, but at least it's a short term one. I'd still rather they move Devers off 3B, install Bregman there and add Campbell at 2B. If Story goes down, you can call up Mayer.
Dobbins came out of nowhere last season and has more to prove. We'll see what he can do this year now that there is more spotlight on him and he's only a call away from the show.
JH that bobs his head around while looking at his watch a la Winter Weekend.
SK that jingles keys in his right arm rather than bobbles his head.
Trevor Story where each part of the body jiggles separately.
Casas that slowly goes in and out of downward dog like a drinking bird toy.
Cora that is just constantly shrugging his shoulders up and down.
Bloom bobblehead that has a Breslow nametag on it.
Chapman that bobbles two sharpshooters like Yosemite Sam.
