But I am sure this one is relevant and unique.

Grandal fWAR 1.7 McCann 1.5. Granted Grandal played a decent amount more, but when you take pitch framing and catching D into account, it was more even than I realized. The numbers also look way different if you start looking at something other than a pandemic shortened season.

Your original post centered on tacking "loser" on the name of the team's manager. Either you don't understand what our managers name actually is, or you were making sarcastic comments. If you can't handle being called on that, you weren't going to fit in here anyways. Good luck in your Sox travels.

Maybe stick to substance, and don't post lame sarcastic comments, and you will get substance in response.

No one else was willing to bid this for him last year when there were zero economic problems. What makes you think that now that teams are losing hundreds of millions of dollars, in gate and TV money, that they will now be willing to pay it? You use the Indians as an example, but they were cutting money left and right over the last year, even before Covid. That is only going to accelerate now.

The answer is they never have, and never will.

Unless someone enacts the 25th amendment, it is up to the President to do what is best for the country in this situation. Seeing as he won't start doing that now, I can only imagine we have to wait and see what happens and hope nothing horrible happens in the interm. You know, just like the last 3.5 years.

Man, the Trump administration could decapitate its own government through its own negligence. How ironic would it be for Nancy Pelosi to take over because this administration was too stupid to take basic precautions.

For the record, you are not the only one with that right. When you post, people are free to respond to it.

Grandall is owed $18+m a year for the next three years who is going to trade for that contract? #2, they can still offer McCann a fraction of that total and sign him.

Adding loser to his name.

Ah yes. That is why a 5 year olds style nickname wasn't funny.

I can't help but think that all of the experts pegged this as a last place, or close to last place, team. I didn't have much in the way of expectations this season for the Bears, and they have succeeded at being fairly mediocre even at 3-1

She could have easily been sitting next to one of us at a restaurant fully negligent, KNOWING that she had been exposed six ways to Sunday, with absolutely zero recourse if you die.

Especially considering what the typical veteran goes through to get into a VA facility. The military people in this country should be outraged.

Hopefully this pays off in advertising and is able to help the Sox spend this winter.

The irony of course is that the "Spanish" flu began on a military base in (wait for it) Kansas.

How about we put it this way. Think of all of the different laws we have. Almost all of them would not be required if people could handle a basic set of ideals. But they couldn't so a law and punishment was written to stop them from happening. Should people be responsible enough to go out and have a drink or two without getting too drunk to be able to drive? Sure. Could alcohol serving establishments sell a lot more drinks if they didn't have to worry about over-serving people who drove home? Where is the personal responsibility on both sides, right? People were dying in large numbers because people were to irresponsible to not kill each other. But neither people, nor bars, could handle that, so hence the laws surrounding DUI. It is the same thing here, except in much larger numbers. The incentive is to put people into dangerous situations for establishments, and for people to think they can handle this and not endanger people while going out in public. But 200,000 + dead people is a great statement that both parties are wrong, and that the government should step in to minimize social damage. We do this all of the time in the US on a much smaller scale.

uh, duh.

No. We have tried that for 7 months and 200,000 are dead. It failed. Now what?

This country is not responsible nor following the rules. Now what?

This team has 20 million in raises to give to people already under contract. That is even before guys like Giolito hit arbitration.

This is quite literally the policy of the President. People are killing others because they don't actually believe in responsibility. But sure the solution is platitudes. The rest of the world figured it out, just not us.

If they were going to fire him this year, it would have already happened.
