Red Sox media commentators continue to say, along with many fans, that JDM will opt out at the end of the season.
That seems very unlikely to me.
He won’t go to the National League as the 33 year old is no longer a full time outfielder .
These American League clubs are rebuilding:
Jays, white Sox, orioles, royals, mariners, tigers and the royals.
The twins have Cruz, the angels have Otahni.
The Guardians, rangers, rays and athletics don’t play in that price range.
I can’t see the Astros spending that kind of money on a DH, and they have a very strong hitting club.
That leaves the Yankees, which won’t happen with Stanton on the roster for many years.
JDM is staying with the Red Sox.
