Then it’s an even worse stance hating on someone over that, rather than thinking he is a bad teammate for missing a game.

The specific scenario we were talking about was a baseball player getting permission from his team and confirming that his teammates would be okay with him missing a game to attend the funeral of his friend. The guy did not potentially commit a crime, which was one of the comparisons made (Clevinger). I don’t feel I need to comment on this any further because quite frankly it’s ridiculous.

Funny to see the Red Sox not beat out the Cubs but their payroll is already much higher. I think the Cubs are projected at around $176 million and Boston is at $243 million.

It’s unfortunate that Matt Shaw did something so grievous to you that you would have to actively root against him if he was ever a member of your favorite team.

Link? Because it appears that @TheBooneLoganEra is correct.

Meidroth also has zero power potential.

He attended a funeral. For shame.

He played outfield in college and there has been speculation that the Cubs could try him there again with the Bregman signing.

Why are people comparing Bregman to Tucker. Is Tucker going to sign for $175 million?

Shaw wasn’t accused of domestic abuse. He actually didn’t commit a crime at all. I know your post is in jest but no one wants Cowles, not even the Sox.

Reasons that have nothing to do with baseball. He couldn’t stomach playing for a team that is much worse than his current team? Yeah, makes sense.

Yep, in his rookie season. Meanwhile, people were excited about Vargas’s supposed turnaround in his fourth MLB season and he finished with a 1.3 fWAR.

I didn’t say that. If the price is right however… You don’t usually get to acquire another team’s top prospects unless they have some sort of warts. I think he is interesting because he can play 2B and 3B and he could potentially be moved to the outfield. Besides, wasn’t it our “star” CF’er who didn’t even know one of the coach’s names — Charlie Montoyo? Vargas moping around for half a season. You act like the Sox roster is a bastion of amazing team players. I thought only Schriffen truly believed that.

Per Keith Law’s article in The Athletic:

Yep, that’s a massive load to deposit all on one guy.

I think you are right. The Cums may have been better served filling other holes.

Many many millions.

I’m not sure I buy that. They love Hoerner and look how quickly they were to make Shaw a bench player. Hoerner put up a 6.2 bWAR and they are never going to get back his worth in a trade.

Whatever they can afford to give up. The guy is just turning 24 in March and put up a 3.1 bWAR in his rookie season.

CW just owned the post-game interview. “We heard that the Packers wanted us, and they got us.”

Ridiculous. Bears would have slapped Malik Willis to death.

I can’t see this being a good signing considering Bregman is turning 32 before the season starts. Obviously this means Tucker is gone. Not so horrible of a contract to debilitate the Cubs but I would have looked elsewhere. Regardless, I truly hope Getz is trying to trade for Matt Shaw right now.

That throw was truly money. Peyton Manning style.
