+1 ....

Not signing and then trading MB certainly had a shock effect, but I think signing him to $375M/12 would have been a huge "splash."

I've always been a big fan of defense, especially SS and CF. I have always focused on watching those positions and often lamented, "Why can't we ever have a great defensive SS?" (I sang and rejoiced when we traded for OCab. Nomar was always over-rated on D.) Many of my beliefs about several players came long before I knew about or paid much attention to defensive metrics. I used to look at RF/9 a little bit. Jeter had a good arm, especially on relay throws to the plate. He rarely made unforced errors. That's the only thing that keeps him from being the worst defensive SS of all time. (He's pretty close, now, if you only count long time SSs.

Not liking the city is a little different than not liking the team. Yes, it can still be a factor on the choices made by players, but this team has come a long way since the days of Yawkey and prior owner-management dynamics.

He never impressed my eyes. Okay, he made a few flashy plays that got my attention, but despite his spry appearance, he always seems like a statue to me. His range wasn't bad his first few years, but then, poof- presto- he morphed into the worst everyday, defensive SS I have ever seen.

How many times has anyone here watched with (intentional focus) Adames play? I'm not saying he's better or worse than the numbers show, but the eye test on any nonSox player is always questionable, to me. And when we talk about how good ssomeone is, even a Sox player, it is always within the context of comparative value to others at their position. So, even if our player looks great, it's hard to know how many others are greater. There could be 15- making our guy "below average."

Henry has been the savior to all long-suffering Sox fans. He could cut spending to $120M for a few years, and I'd till be eternally grateful he became our owner.
-
My bad.
-
Agreed, and many think he took a discount due to COVID. My point was that his $400M position was pre-COVID, so it's hard to know what might have happened.
-
I may have been right, here.
-
Because he's made of gold, they think he should spend like a maniac.
-
Had he stayed here and not signed an extension, what would be the highest bid, this winter? $375/12?

I remember the Dodgers reset their tax not too long ago- not long enough for Betts to not know it.. (BTW, they have paid less than half the luxury tax paid by the Yanks since 2002, yet much more than the Sox.)
-
Me, too. Rays in 5!
-
Apparently, $365M demonstrates they want to win.
-
They haven't won, yet. I'm hoping even more, now, that they don't.

According to fangraphs, he has the 3rd best range, but falls short in other areas. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=ss&stats=fld&lg=all&qual=200&type=1&season=2020&month=0&season1=2020&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2020-01-01&enddate=2020-12-31&sort=22,d 2019-2020 (400+ innings at SS) Adames ranks 3rd out of 33 in RngR but 10th in UZR/150 at +2.5 2018-2020 (26 SSs with 1500 innings at SS) Adames is 7th in RngR 24th in ErrR 19th DPR 21st in UZR/150 at -3.7 On DRS, he ranks 12th out of 26 at +7.

I haven't seen him play enough to know how good he is.
-
They're breaking all the rules, right? (3B was pretty bad....) Ray's UZR/150 by Position: 22.4 CF 6.7 2B 6.5 1B 4.5 RF 1.8 LF -1.6 SS -5.5 3B
-
Good points. They are 13th in OPS and 9th in OPS+ and wRC+. They placed 13th in wOBA and wRAA. They were #1 in wSB and 10th in UBR. I stand corrected. They can be considered near top 10.

"Often" does not mean always.
