Mayer may never make it to Fenway, and Correa would not be worth the money anyway. Downs, and Duran wouldn’t get you much in a trade, and Verdugo while a good player is not that big a trade chip either.
Especially Tiant. I can still hear the chants (L O U I E, L O U I E) as he made his way in from the bullpen to face the Yankees in front of a packed Fenway Park.
The Red Sox did the right thing not to spend much to resign him but I just wish he would have gone to any other team than the Yankees. His arm was soft noodle at that.
To each it’s own when it comes to shelling out money to make rich people more rich. Nothing wrong with doing it, and nothing wrong with not doing it. Once again two sides to a story.
Concerts are off the charts, but what gets me more is the cost of hotel rooms near the concert. I saw some old guy named Elton, and the hotel rooms went up close to $300 the night of the concert.
