Lucas Giolito signed a 2 year, $38,500,000 contract with the Boston Red Sox, including $38,500,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $19,250,000.
Giolito has given up less runs this inning than in the first. Something for him to build on. Looks like the ball is coming out of his hand really well. Just barely missing his location. Lot of soft contact against him today.
That is this year's team and they suck. Bregman will opt out and go for a longer contract. You think it would be easy to just put Anthony at 1B??? He has never played the position, let alone in the majors.
All 4 minor league teams won tonight:) Roman Anthony hit his 9th HR. Grissom 2-4. Blaze Jordan who was recently promoted to Worcester went 1-4 in his debut. He could be an answer at 1B sooner than later. 19 year old SS Franklin Arias is shooting up the prospect list, hitting .379 at high A Greenville after a slow start after promotion from low A Salem. He can run too.
If he learns the strike zone and is patient, I think he could develop into a solid hitter. The Sox are banking on that and are going to give him every opportunity.
