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.

This story should be the end of professional baseball. Instead the main beneficiary of this just got a 9 year 360 million dollar contract. f*** Manfred and everything he has ever done.

Sounds like a great gamble and the Katz connection is golden. Makes me wonder if ReyLo could be a trade chip

The reliever addition is complete...so any cash needs to go to 2B and LF PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.

Q at that price makes me think Sox could have had him for 2/24 easily...and in a division that cant hit lefties....why didn't you still do this....in case Kopech/Lynn have lingering knee issues. Worst case is if all are healthy you get a nice ransom at trade deadline. Oh to be a GM with foresight...

Kenny at least always used to talk about his "big board" and targets they had. Kenny always got his guy was even stupidly annoying...but wtf is Hahn's MO?

yeah...the only chance you have in the current meta is to draft and develop EXTREMELY well (ie Rays) or you have to pay up. That is it. No other real options. Sox suck at Free Agency...and are mediocre at drafting and developing...Trading is about all Hahn seems like he can do...and now it's starting to feel like baseball hell (not nearly as cryptic as the Bulls basketball hell)

Padres are nuts...in a why the f*** aren't we all on padrestalk.com right now fun?

Bellinger is most likely just a guy going forward. Would rather they go Nimmo or Conforto for the Outfield anyways...but they probably are gonna ruin it all and let Sheets and Colas die out there

Say you are a masochist...without saying you are a masochist.

So we are at the fake trades stage of boredom I see...

87 year old bodies run out soon.

If Gavin Sheets is your opening day starter...I am finally prepared to become a full time Braves fan. (context: I live down the street from their stadium)

and Twitter's top responses...☠️

And tax threshold is 233 mil for 2023. ABSOLUTELY NO reason to not be in the 215 range.

Can you imagine walking into the Winter meetings hotel and you see GMs from the top 10 markets in baseball dropping 30+ mil contracts left and right (holding huge brief cases full of cash)...and Hahn is sitting in the corner worried that his $15 dollar manhattan may not be an approved business expense...

Hold on...louder for the filters... F U C K Jerry

f*** Jerry.

glad to hear. you know your stuff...but butt heads with so many...I can never really tell. 😎

yeah...anyone who has an account on soxtalk and POSTs somewhat regularly being called a casual is the biggest case of message board virtue signaling I can imagine. All hail Ray for being a REAL DIEHARD

His agent is going to ask for MORE now that Verlander got that deal...and I agree...he should ask for it. If anyone does give it to him...well...good luck.

I will take that bet. I was WRONG about last season...I guarantee you he doesn't pitch over 180 innings on more than 2 years of the 6. Shoulder issues will always linger and Carlos really isn't the model of diet/conditioning that can overcome it.
