as they should be. for how much Sox fans want to complain about this off-season...theirs is absolutely comically bad.

Colas is ready. Watch the highlights across 3 levels, look at the production...and remember he already played in Japan. He is NOT a developmental player...he is an asset they paid handsomely for to move thru the system very fast. His swing is beautiful and even if he only hits .225, his power and ability in the field will best anything they have internally or left on the open market that is realistic (they all have question marks). Embrace Corlas, Colas or Cola...it will all be refreshing in the end.

If you do this...you are the villains. Maybe that is the swagger they need to overcome the Astros boogeymen. But also, f*** Bauer.

Okay, that is decent deal for them. For some silly context though....Dansby has one more season of at bats than Benitendi... And 1 less WAR in a premium defensive position.

Your definition of stud is different than mine. His power has slotted in nicely the last 2 seasons...but he isnt worth a 10 year overpay...and I think he is gonna get 10/230 here.

Love Billy...but hope he enjoys Charlotte

Tendi/Robert/Colas for the next 5 years is pretty solid actually. Defense alone will make the sox ERAs drop about .50 across the board the next two seasons (it was that bad). With the contract others got this year, you really can't complain.

make it kid friendly as tendi and that way wife wont raise an eyebrow either

and give the sox the balls that judge got last year...

Literally the best #2 hitter they can get on the market that is Lefty. Robert in the 3 hole will be a MONSTER with TA and Beni setting the table.

depends on the player's injury history and risk analysis by insurance companies. Way I have seen it is that most get covered around about 65-75% of their annual value, so the risk to club is not that much in the grand scheme of things.

McCann back at around 6 mil a season and coinciding with Gio's contract year...may not be the worst thing ever. Yaz/McCann is serviceable and Yaz can DH a bit so while I don't love it...i could see it solely for Hahn thinking it's a brilliant buy low move.

This is going to be hahns genius move isnt it. James coming home...?

this is ridiculous. The sox have won recently and TLR finally gone and a KC connection Grifol in tow...why wouldn't he expect to win here? WE are very jaded as fans, but if the sox are willing to pay they are very desirable as a city destination, a team with an easy division, and a clear starting opening.

yeah this is ridiculous. the twins have gotten much worse so far this offseason and the Indians still have flaws. the TLR affect alone should lead to 5-7 more wins for the Sox

Swanson is one of the luckiest benefiters of timing and want in baseball history.

It is absolutely insane to have predicted 2-3 years ago that after 2 surgeries...countless injury stints and a really good season on a 3 mil contract would put him on the path to 200 million dollars. Good for him, good luck for the Giants or Yankees...

how do you say you like white players with lesser skillsets that try hard, without having a screen name Grind.... oh wait.

why? that horse is beat to s%*#.

Did you steal this from Reddit...or did you post this on reddit? ?

someone will give it to him....and be out of a job in 4 years.

Look .. should Jerry greenlight deals like this....yes. should it be Brandon Nimmo getting a contract like this...hell no. This is STUPID money. He is a good fielder and makes good contact, but Trout is worth 80 mil a season at this rate

Jerry Reinsdorf should be dead in 2-3 years (statistics people), so I don't know what to think. I freaking love TAs swagger and hitting, so I don't really know what to think here. ZERO chance they upgrade to something meaningful...Hahn will totally sign Elvis and try and justify it which is attrocious.

Oh how things change... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1116278-mlb-free-agency-who-wins-a-cheapest-owner-in-baseball-tournament-bracket

Their owner and GM take copious amounts of cocaine and literally dont care.
