Nightengale was on the Score today and basically said the Sox went with Eaton over Brantley in order to try and afford Hendriks. Nothing we don’t already know but good to hear further confirmation they still are pursuing him.
There is no question in my mind Jerry is using the uncertainty of 2021 with fans and the possibility of a 2022 strike to justify the mediocre payroll for 2021.
But we don’t know how they finish things off. By all means, be pissed it they don’t do anything else. I’m sure there will be a meltdown when the Twins trade for Musgrove and bring back Cruz.
