    Clifford!! At least he’s the big red one. No idea what oversized canine handles other colors…

    None of his clients are going to struggle to put food on the table. At worst, they might have to give up dreams of being insanely rich and settle for being merely obscenely rich…

    At least the FO is thinking about us!

    That’s the rate if he becomes one of those lockdown closers….

    Arenado -3b Casas/Devers -1b/DH Yoshida - LF, Bench or Worcester. He still has all his options Given how many folks are worried about Devers’ shoulders, Casas’ core muscles, and Yoshida’s labrum, is this depth a bad thing? Or is there a contingency of folks desperate to see Nick Sogard pressed back into action?

    If he clears waivers and signs elsewhere, they save roughly $750,000 per year…

    Nobody likes Willson Contreras. Not even William…

    They’re saving money, but now they have multiple shortstops and no corner infielders or closer. They might have to spend a chunk of their savings rectifying that situation…

    Arenado blocks the trade if Story goes the other way…

    Trevor Story isn’t an Astro…

    While they certainly want a cheaper team, At some point it still has to be one people are willing to pay to see…

    Ben is in Pittsburgh.

    Casas is the lineup regardless. It comes down to Yoshida vs Arenado, because if the Sox do acquire Arenado, it pushes Yoshida out of the lineup. Arenado should improve the defense. Yoshida will be better on offense. I’m not sure which one makes for a better overall team…

    St. Louis is going to pick up some of that contract regardless. No way they can unload him anywhere otherwise. But they’d have to pay the whole thing and likely more to get one of the Sox top prospects.

    With his $75mill left on 3 years, the Sox will have over $120mill in Arenado and Yoshida. As much as I want the defensive upgrade, I think leaving Yoshida as the DH does a better job addressing one of the Sox deficiencies…

    Arenado certainly could make the infield defense better, but he’s a step down offensively from Yoshida…

    StatCast spray charts do not take the height of the wall into account. Vaughn Grissom’s spray charts show one hit he has was a clear home run to left center on the Fenway overlay. But those dots are links to videos of the hit (I did not know this), and that ball that should have landed well behind the monster was actually hit AT FENWAY and struck the wall 2/3 of the way up for a double…

    Nothing is level. The planet is round.

    Oh Breslow. Ignore my pleas for the strongest outfield arm in MLB who happens to hit right-handed. If they do sign a RHH OF, the options are down to Grichuk and some Boston retreads (Pham, Margot, and Dunn)…

    I was thinking north and south, but those work too…

    Because any sit down would have involved the interpreter anyway, who could have relayed any message he wanted to either party.. Bank: Mr. Ohtani, we need your approval to move another $10,000,000 to this account. Interpreter (to Shohei): He wants to know if you’re enjoying the Southern California weather. Ohtani (in Japanese): It’s ok I guess Interpreter: He approves. Bank: Good. Then just sign here. Interpreter (to Shohei): He’s a big fan and would like an autograph.

    I’m not wild about Yates posting 3.3 of his career 9.1 bWAR in one season at age 38. That screams “not repeating!!” loud enough to be heard at both poles simultaneously…

    He could have been. And that would explain deleting the telegram thread. The remainder of the evidence suggests the ump did nothing wrong. But I do support the ban regardless. MLB needs a Zero Tolerance policy with umps gambling on baseball.
