And of course Suzuki cost $70 million.
-
Moncada was sort of a special case, as he cost us 63 million to sign.
-
It's called optimism. Even Chaim Bloom has it, or he wouldn't have signed Paxton...
-
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.
