Personally I think Boras is right. The Sox weren't really committed to keeping Bogey, largely because their focus was retaining Devers. And I understand that.
Personally, I'm starting to regain some confidence in the Sox front office. Liked the Kluber signing, loved the Raffy extension, liked the Duvall signing. We're not punting and the future is looking up. Now sign Andrus or come up with a legit shortstop some other way...
Incorrect number, though. They paid $1.2 mill but were over by $6 mill. Per Cot's:
2022: $1,229,936 tax on CBT payroll of $236,149,678 with $230M threshold and a rate of 20 percent as a first-time payor.
When I was looking at Adam Duvall's B-R page I realized that the Braves had traded for him two separate times.
I'm thinking there are not many players who fit into that category, being traded for by the same team twice.
Doug Mirabelli is another one, of course.
