That seems reasonable.
-
You mean after 1 more bad game, or right now?
-
Answered your own question.
-
Not quite a match for 5GG's prediction. As you know we are very strict here with rulings.
-
Nifty dig there, Alex. -
Cantstandya!
-
Not trying to be snarky, but can you think of examples of that kind of surprise in recent seasons?
-
Agreed.
-
So where was he on Correa?
-
Apparently a lot of people really like the ghost runner as a permanent fixture.
-
You guys are sick LOL
-
Story probably wanted a bit more than $140 M, too... There are only so many crazy owners.
-
Well, come to think of it, the ill-advised jettisoning of top talent all started with that Ruth guy.
-
And is he really worth 150% as much money as Story or more?
-
You're exactly right, and you can go back even before free agency. Reggie Smith being a prime example.
-
Here's a hypothetical for you: if the Sox offer Bogey an extension that equals what they just gave Story - 6/140 - do you think he'd take it?
-
Duran posted even better numbers - 19 in 82 games at AA, 16 in 60 games at AAA.
-
Yes, we had some fresh proof of that with Duran last year.
-
I know exactly what you and others are saying, I really do. I hated it when Mookie was traded, and I wish we would keep Bogey and Devers. But it's a two-way street, because these guys want enormous amounts of money to stick around. I saw an interesting piece about how disappointed Chipper Jones was with Freddie Freeman for bolting to the Dodgers after the Braves made him a pretty substantial offer.
-
But how come there's money than ever in MLB if there's less interest? It's kind of like Yogi's classic: "Nobody goes there any more, it's too crowded."
-
Personally I think I'm past the stage of having much lasting sentimental attachment to players. All I want now is a well-run team, and that's what I think we have.
-
True that.
-
Rendon is an excellent defender, however, which makes him worth quite a bit more.
-
Well, we did sign Bogey to a 6 year extension. It just so happens that Bogey wanted and got an opt-out after Year 3. Now it's his choice whether to use it, and of course he will. It's not quite the same as letting him walk as soon as he hit free agency. Not making any sort of effort to keep Devers would certainly be disappointing, though.
-
Can't have it all. Of course Bogey could elect not to opt out, but we know that ain't happening if he stays healthy and produces this year.
