Get ready for some looong posts!
-
2018-2019 were the definition of going all in. Henry might not want to even do that again.
-
They're 11.4 million over the first tax threshold for 2022 right now.
-
It's extraordinary how much smarter managers look after a close win than they do after a close loss.
-
Huh?
-
Yep. The steady diet of smoke is one of the reasons Freddie Freeman says going the other way against the shift ain't as easy as some people think...
-
Yes, but many people found E.T. cute. Need a woman's opinion here. But we only have one, Kimmi, and she's too nice to grade players on ugliness.
-
Franco is guaranteed 182 mill Whitlock is guaranteed 18.75 mill It's no wonder 5 GG's has to restrain the urge to be sardonic.
-
Johnson is a contender. But I'll still go with Chacin.
-
It's a beautiful deal, really. Whitlock gets financial security, the Sox potentially get a bargain, and have a lot of control with those 2 team options and low buyouts. Nice work by Bloom IMHO
-
Good point about the weather. The Yankees averaged 4.39 last year.
-
I saw some Yankee fans calling him Tiny Tim... But no one has ever been uglier than poor Gustavo Chacin.

Earl Weaver: "The pitchers are always ahead of the hitters this time of year. Or is it the other way around?"

Upfront signing bonus of $1 million 2023: $1 million 2024: $3.25 million 2025: $5.25 million 2026: $7.25 million 2027 (club option) $8.25 million with $1 million buyout 2028 (club option) $10.5 million with $500k buyout Total guarantee, not including Whitlock’s $720,000 salary in 2022, $18.75 million Option salaries can escalate by up to $2.5 million each for significant innings pitched in previous years (some cumulative over 2023-26, some in immediate prior year) and for award recognition. Maximum total escalation is $4 million per year.
-
Not really. We tacked on two years of control.
-
No, it's better than that. The Red Sox have team options for 2027 and 2028, which would be his first two years of free agency. And the buyouts for the two years are small. You have to dig into the details of it.
-
There wasn't a whole lot of risk in trading for Manaea, though.
-
That's the truth.
-
Now that is spoken by a seasoned baseball fan!
-
The Red Sox have now lost 8 regular season games in a row to the Yanks. Fortunately we had a playoff win wedged in there LOL The Red have lost 5 games in a row going back to last year's ALCS.

Trivia notes and questions (some of which may not be answerable)
Bellhorn04 replied to Bellhorn04's topic in Other Baseball
Shaughnessy actually passed on an interesting piece of trivia in yesterday's column (which he got from Tyler Kepner of the NYT). The 'golden pitch'! The golden pitch is a pitch that could either win or lose a World Series. 8 pitchers have thrown one: Christy Mathewson, NY Giants, 1912, Loss (to the Red Sox-in the 8th game!) Grover Cleveland Alexander, Cardinals, 1926, Win Ralph Terry, Yankees, 1962, Win Rollie Fingers, A's, 1972, Win Jose Mesa, Guardians, 1997, Loss Mariano Rivera, Yankees, 2001, Loss Madison Bumgarner, Giants, 2014, Win Mike Montgomery, Cubs, 2016, Win -
The Yanks have outpitched the Sox in the two games. And Boone has been surprisingly sharp with the changes.
-
We'll probably revisit it every game he pitches. It's what we do!
-
Still no excuse for sloppy work.
-
Both wrong. Our bullpen did not pitch 6 innings. They pitched 5 innings, or "5 innings plus", as it's sometimes put.
