It might be very level headed, but he is also in it to make the most money.
-
I did. He's a little over top with some of his statements, but his overall point is spot on. We should not sign Mookie for that kind of insane contract. We could put the money to better use by spreading it around to multiple players on shorter deals.

I don't excuse Chavis for using PEDs because he and the people in his camp should know better. However, I can understand the willingness to forgive him and give him a second chance. With Mejia getting caught 3 times, there's no excuse. I agree that MLB is setting a bad precedent by allowing Mejia back in. When it was announced that the Sox signed Mejia, there was a fair amount of negative reaction from players around the league. None from our own players as far as I know, but I'm sure they weren't happy about it either. If Mejia makes the team, he is taking a roster spot from another player. Imagine the message being sent to that other player, who is presumably clean. MLB is basically telling those youngsters that it pays to cheat.

I agree that the domestic violence stuff is more of a taint. That said, in the supposed post steroid era, using PEDs should not be overlooked or even accepted as it was during the steroid era. Even back then, the "it's okay because everyone is doing it" excuse should not fly. Currently, it's an even weaker excuse then it was previously.
-
Signing Mejia was not a good look. I'm not sure that I've ever rooted for a player not to make the team, but I am rooting against Mejia. If he does make the team, I'll sadly have to root for him, and that won't make me happy.
-
IMO, he's blown his chance with the Red Sox. He needs to be gone.
-
That's absolutely ridiculous.
-
From agent and union, I would agree. From family and friends, I tend to agree less.
-
I think it's fair to point out that he appears to be all about the money. That may be his right, and he may deserve to go for the most money, but I don't have to like.
-
I don't think anyone is trying to bash Mookie. At least I'm not. I just would not sign him to a Harper like contract.
-
And here I thought SCM33 was making a lot of sense.
-
Yes, unfortunately, that seems to be the case. I really hope there's a way for the Sox to keep him without breaking the bank, but I can't see it.
-
Exactly. I've always said it was an ego thing.
-
I have always felt like the Yankees area of weakness is their rotation. If Severino is out for any significant time, the Yanks could be in trouble.
-
Of course he cares about taxes.
-
Hey, if you're happy with your starting rotation, I'm happy with it.
-
I certainly hope not. I really do not like Mejia signing. But you are probably right.
-
Exactly. Plus, his keen interest in what Machado and Harper got this offseason.
-
He doesn't have to give the team anything, but it would be nice if he had more of a Brock Holt attitude. As I've said many times before, it's always nice when players make it about more than just the money. As I've also said before, what can a player to with $330 million that he can't do with $300 million?
-
I would have thought that the team would be informed of a positive drug test right away. After all, the team has a right to know.
-
And of course with the "I don't know how it got in my system" BS. The other thing is, he should have let the team know earlier that he was facing a possible suspension. Maybe it doesn't make any difference in their offseason moves, but maybe it does.
-
Yes, it does.
-
100% this.
-
It was already back to back to back to back before this news.
-
I am officially stating that I am on the Colten Brewer bandwagon. Colten for Closer (Eventually)
