  1. IMHO the Betts situation can't be compared to any other contract negotiation. This is a guy who'll go down as one of the very best. Henry treated it like just another calculation.
  2. I do feel a little sorry for Judge. He's being portrayed by Yankee fans/media as a historic choke artist. Nobody needs that.
  3. Turns out Friedman is a really hands on guy. Just reading about how deeply involved he was in the pitching plans last night after Flaherty bombed out, right down to talking to Buehler in the clubhouse.
  4. Get ready for some Burnes/Fried Interest Kings fun...
  5. We'll never really know what Henry was thinking. I can't help wondering if he just got pissy because Mookie seemed to be playing hardball with him.
  6. What's the difference between a TOTR and an ACE, BTW?
  7. And the Dodgers are set up way too good. I even saw an ugly rumor they're going to be in on Soto.
  8. What art thou talkin' about? From 2007 to 2011 he racked 23.9 fWAR, an average of 4.8...
  9. If Henry approved what it took to keep Mookie the Sale extension might not have happened. There's just no limit to the bad things that flowed from Henry's horrific failure.
  10. Good cop bad cop!
  11. Ugly game for Yankee fans, but a reminder of what a weird and beautiful game baseball is, where you never really know what's going to happen next, and numerous little things can decide the final outcome.
  12. It was a defensible signing, I think we can say that much.
  13. Another guy who was on the Interest Kings List this past offseason...
  14. Trying to avoid Recency Bias, but he did have some concerningly dreadful outings in the postseason. Anyway, it's probably a moot point since we're talking about the Full Throttle Interest Kings...
  15. Betts is the most complete player in the game and I'm not sure who's close. And of course John Henry is a complete _______ for letting him go.
  16. Well done. Now stick around and post a little, man!
  17. Mookie handled it well. He was really pissed about it at the time, as well he should be, the idiots could have injured him. After the game he said it was irrelevant, he wasn't hurt, they lost the game, life goes on, end of story.
  18. Baseball is the only game where there is such a thing as fan interference, isn't it? I don't remember any fan interference calls in the NFL, or NBA, or NHL.
  19. I find that blunders don't bother me quite as much when we get a ring out of it.
  20. In 2020 players got paid on a pro-rated basis, so about 40% of full salary. Eovaldi would have lost about $10 mill out of $17.
  21. So much randomness in play here LOL But along the same lines, I always thought David Price earned a big chunk of his contract in the 2018 ALCS and WS. The ring is the thing.
  22. He was more consistent in 2023-2024, worth about 20 mill each year.
  23. Bloom did not make one single move that got Sox fans excited at the time he made it. Which is not to say that they were all bad moves by any means, some turned out to be good and even very good. But it's basically been 5 years of Sox fans being nonplussed.
