It could be structured any number of ways with a deductible and covering a percentage of loss. Remember if you make a claim your rates go up. I heard that insurance can be a huge part of the cost

MLB Insider says Sox are Manchado's only option at present. We must not be good enough.

Amazing that a big deal actually got done. Wonder if this clears a path for Harper to knock out a deal with the Phil's. Hope so.

Dollar dogs are my only meal of the week outside of the mission.

Consider that all bids may be blind. I would not assume that teams are told what the others are bidding.

They had great teams 69-71 but just one title thanks in part to the Amazin' Mets. Won 107-108-101 games in that stretch. Except for Jim Palmer the young pitchers would start in the back of the pen and have to earn every inning.

I grew up with the Oriole way via the AAA Rochester Red Wings. They were not my MLB team but deepest respect. Frank and Earl Weaver were the two main symbols of that style.

Traded for Milt flippin Pappas and promptly won a World Series and Triple Crown. Nice deal for the O's I would say.

We can assume Manchado wants 10/300 so maybe the Sox should step up and offer 9/270. Even so he might wait until ST is well under way before making a deal.

All good while Robert and Eloy lead the way.

Two-year decline age 33. Sounds like a great deal.

Bringing Shields back sends a really wrong message. He did improve but is tiresome to watch. No one else seems to be after him.

Manny signs front-loaded deal with the Rams.

Game over baseball next.

I think the org made a decision going forward that Narvaez defense was not acceptable so he had to be moved. End of story.

Maybe that explains why AJ is not the manager. I would not defend the guy just because he played for the Sox.

We should get a good clue about Manuel B in April since he has to make the team in order to stay with the Sox. That one scout really went to bat for him. Hopefully will not remind anyone of Felipe Paulino.

AJ was all about hustle and competition. Ozzie said you don't hate AJ quite as much if he is on your own team Yes he could be offensive more like a Bill Belichick but the result was winning.

Imagine Manchado onboard, Eloy stepping up, Jose being healthy and Polka dotting HR balls. That would be fun to watch even if it was repeated every day like Sonny and Cher on your clock radio.

I think there were nine man staffs in the 60's . Three catchers were seen and maybe six OFs .

The pitching could be significant when you are down to your last man in the pen but have another guy on the bench who could save your skin. When you go with 13 pitchers something has to give.

Not a strong market for Sox castoffs but made the MLB news with mention of his pitching potential

What was the Sox offer for Harper? Not sure if they are willing to go high enough.

Has there been any hint that the Sox are in Harpo's financial range?? My inside sources are skeptical. Nor have we heard of any interest in his playing for the Second Sox. Just my take but it seems he really wants the big bucks. Not to mention his difficult agent.

Nice write up in SSS on Walker who was part of the recent DR bonding tour. Has a smooth LH swing but described as explosive. Likes to play CF. Played at three levels but struggled at K-town with oblique and hamstring injuries. Does not sound like he would start at WS from what I gathered. Could prove to be a force in the Sally League and take it from there. That first season for top college picks is a real whirlwind with all the changes and bouncing around.
