Dodgers are paying Ohtani 2 million per year and then 680 million is deferred to the end of his contract. 99% certain Yamamoto will be heading there too.
Make NO MISTAKE about it. The Story signing along with the Devers signing were no more than to place RSN after letting Xander walk for nothing. Had Devers been let go too there WOULD have been a revolt.
Merrifield is a backup type at this stage of his career but yes he is better than what we have. I dont see any way we get Yamo or even Snell and I don't consider Montgomery as a true ace. Breslow better act quick on Yamo or Snell or they will be gone. Hey why not trade for Alex Manoah too . Tyler On'Neill needs another head case to keep him company.
WE are NOT signing Duvall after trading for the great Tyler O'Neill so take him out of the equation here. I expect we will get Stroman and Lugo which will still leave us as a last place team but hey at least we are spending right??
the Red Sox payroll in comparison to the others in MLB has been going down steadily for a few years now. We were once around #3 in payroll and the last I heard we were about #14 now. That is reality. Personally I don't care where we are in terms of payroll but being a last place club 3 of the past 4 years DOES bother me.
guy is a cancer which is why the Cardinals GAVE him away. To save a few more dollars they traded for this guy rather than signing a dirt dog like Duvall.
listen this is going to be my last post on this topic. I knew the O'Neill family from when he played his minor ball in Ridge Meadows Minor baseball. It was well known that the Dad used steroids and always highly suspected that the kid was as well. I will also dd tht the Dad was a pain in the ass parent and the kid was a pain to coach. His youth coach in Ridge Meadows has passed or I am sure he could verify that.
I have no real proof because once he left the area i did not follow him but that picture should raise the flags. Like Bellhorn said { great quote BTW} it is only for 1 year and we can toss him away like a used syringe just like the Cardinals did. I am willing to bet anyone on here that he will NOT be with the Red Sox in 2025. Shame on Craig Breslow for this trade. Go get Bauer and Stroman now.
