Bregman, .693 OPS, 6 HR in 76 games. 5 years, $175M. No thanks. Not worth $35M per year.
Kyle Schwarber, .959 OPS, 29 HR in 14 less at bats than Bregman. 5 years, $150M. $30M per. Boy did we miss out on our ANALYSIS.
I think Bregman misses Fenway's short left field. I think we dodged a bullet.
Club house leader is overrated. Not worth $35M per if the on the field production isn't there.
We could have had
Bregman, .693 OPS, 6 HR ($35M/5 years) vs Durbin .646 OPS, 5 HR (.796M) - just show this to John Henry, he's doing back flips
Xander, .659 OPS, 8 HR ($25M/11 years)
Devers, .735 OPS, 11 HR ($31M/10 years) along with
Yoshida, .647 OPS, 1 HR ($18M/5 years)
Story, .547 OPS, 3 HR ($23M/6 years)
Combined 29 HR, oh wait, Schwarber also has 29 HR.
We might as well sit tight for another year before we make another bad contract. (Arias looks better and better, lol)
