This is exactly how I'd approach it, as well. You need plug-n-play, veteran OL; not rookies. That's a bad recipe. Very few rookie offensive...
While Boston unquestionably gets significantly more media attention than any other MLB franchise, save Yankees & Dodgers... I'm not connecting the...
I remain dubious - in the face of your enthusiasm - for how Bregman will perform into his 30s. But on this superstar point.... other than Shohei,...
And let's not dismiss his agent wanting to be able to tell everyone he landed the $40M/year contract. Boras was almost certainly in his ear,...
... meaning Bregman will surpass him? I'm dubious. Devers is better right now - and has been since at least 2021. Younger, too, so regression is...
He wouldn't be THE MAN in Boston - that's Rafael Devers, who Bregman is moving to 2B to accommodate even though Breggy's a superior fielder. And...
Your insight continues to amaze!
All of which a % of voters will dismiss as being products of the scandal. I mean.... we've all been witness to the BBWAA using the HoF vote to...
There are several ways to look at their credentials. JAWS uses bWAR and has Pedoria a tick ahead of Altuve. Altuve is obviously not retiring and I...
You've apparently never paid property taxes in Texas... This is another bullshit lie teams feed their fans... Taxes weren't a factor when Judge,...
I'm lost trying to follow whatever point you're making. I didn't say Crane was a bad guy - or, at least, that wasn't my point. I said Alex Bregman...
The scandal guarantees he's no lock. But putting that aside, he's not there yet. He's really, really close - but, if his career ended today, he...
Between the two, Crane is certainly more of a bad guy, and absolutely more worthy of scorn and derision. I don't believe Bregman (or Keuchel, or...
While I agree with the idea - playing in Boston could rehabilitate any reputational damage - I don't agree 2-3 GREAT seasons gets Bregman close to...
Yeah; this is a great deal for Bregman. If he balls out this year, I think he will opt-out, and if he does, all Boston has to do, *minimum*, is...
When, in your professional life, have you taken less salary out of loyalty? Sure, he can live on $26M - but he doesn't exist in your or my...
The Astros are worth billions of dollars. Jim Crane can afford to pay Alex Bregman anything he wants + 20%. But he *chooses* not to for the...
Wherever Bregman signs, it'll be because of the money. What else could it be? He was never going to take less money to stay here unless the "less"...
Asking for fair market value and not getting it are two separate things. Bregman believes he's the... 2nd/3rd/4th/5th-best 3B in baseball and...
I certainly hope the Texans are guided by 10-year old contracts handed out to totally unrelated players by a completely different regime and...
