i'm not talking about red sox fans. many teams and there fans didnt have an offseason because of this
-
his agent just dragged the entire baseball world through the muck for 3 months in his name.he will be booed and he needs to be prepared for it.hopefully he can handle it and somehow use it to play better.
-
i am very happy for everyone we finally signed him and the deal is the best anyone could have possibly hoped for. now that he is on my team i hope he has incredible season and plays his ass off
-
yes but,if boras leaked it in an attemp to get more it didn't work.maybe its a sign of things loosening up
-
8yrs the first 5yrs at 20 mill per.the next three at 13 mill with a five mill signing bonus for 8 yrs 144 mill. in early january he turned down a reported 7yr 147 mill deal from the royals....why? " im sure he's trying to get the best deal for clients" boras doesnt seem to have done that here.
-
yeah thats true but i was thinking maybe they were saving the money for martinez. who knows?
-
i wonder if this is a sign they decided to move on from martinez? i can't understand why they didnt do this long ago.
-
i am watching this right now myself and these are jd's words to people around him in miami.in a war on words its the red sox who need to address this one way or another.
-
my mistake i thought he was for some reason. makes me wonder more why we dont go after him?
-
you know the funny thing that comes to mind when you say that is machado also has boras....if martinez blows up signing machado might be near impossible
-
although he didnt seem to be in the red sox plans heres some news on machado.not sure if he's off the market though? https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/buck-showalter-manny-machado-to-play-shortstop-for-orioles-in-2018/

the giants have acquired andrew mcclutchen from the pirates removing them from the jdm market if they were in on it

A Realistic View at 2018: Part I
baseball jones replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
the only thing that worries me about the window is prices elbow.if he were coming back from tj surgery this spring i would feel more comfortable.i fear he just put off the inevitable.i hope its all for nothing and he comes back strong -
the money has gone crazy,i saw a ticket stub for sale yesterday on ebay for 1970 yankees red sox game.(i believe i was at that game) the price on the ticket was $3.75 for boxed seats.the price for the ticket stub was $55 and the shipping was $6.what in the world has happened. lol
-
haha that may change this year depending on who they sign.
-
i cant wait for all this "business of baseball" to be done,whatever ends up getting done.it'll be nice to talk about the team or a game. i lived in fort myers for a long time and having the sox there was a lot of fun.you can go to the stadium on non game days and pay admission to sit and watch the work outs.hang out right at the field and talk with players and coaches.on a crisp morning in florida theres nothing like it.for thrue fans theres nothing like it and i recomend it highly if you havent had the opportunity.it has a way of making everything feel new again
-
the blue collar are the most loyal fans out there.without them this wouldnt even exist nor will it continue to exist with out them in my opinion.
-
our ecomony is booming?a lot of people cant afford to watch games at home never mind going to a game
-
where in the world does that ever happen?
-
i agree and major changes need to take place.i dont think boras would be for that though
-
what was once a needed solution (agents) has now become the biggest part of the problem.a new solution is needed i dont have one at the moment but i still see the problem
-
how the union let this happen is beyond me,theres already things in place to handle this.
-
so did we as far as boras is part of it,he uses the same tactics as them to make himself rich.
-
he's a perfect example of whats wrong with players contracts and agents.both reached their goal and were over paid.the teams and the fans received nothing for all of it.
-
funny,but i havent seen any of that this year from management.just offers
