The buzz on Fried is that the Yankees are in on him bigly.
If the Yanks sign Fried in the next few days, Red Sox Nation will really start getting restless.
Is that legal? Something that wink-wink nudge-nudge seems to represent a form of tampering. But maybe the rules allow it. Or maybe it's one of those rules that gets flouted and no one cares. I have no idea.
Yes I know. I just think not all "surplus values" are created equal.
Juan Soto might be showing a negative surplus value right now because the Mets overpaid...
Hamilton having greater surplus value than Castillo seems to be a case that shows BTV doesn't always function very well in the real world. Mainly because Hamilton's sample size is tiny.
It's unspendable money whichever offer he takes now. I think it has to come down to where Soto really wants to play and live the next dozen years or so.
