Mitch Moreland is Mitch Moreland.
Mookie Betts is an all-around superstar playing for one of the richest franchises in the game. He might be one of the all-time greats. He has a value to the franchise over and above his immense value on the field. You have to go the extra mile for such a property, IMO.
Agreed that 10 year deals rarely work out, but a proper comparison would be age-specific and eliminate obvious lunacy like the Pujols signing at age 32.
STORK'S 'three stooges' are Kelly, Barnes and Hembree. He's been razzing us about them since the get-go. He razzed DD for not re-signing Addison Reed, who is not looking that great now.
These are but some of the reasons I keep calling STORK an idiot.
By the same token, if Pedey was asked what it feels like to be on Red Sox World Series Championship teams, and he answered "it's not them, it's me", that would also be a correct response.
