That's not good.

I believe the new contract kicks in for the 2020 season, so I THINK so unless something else is going on.

https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/what-alex-rodriguezs-contract-would-look-like-today/ This is an interesting read on wage inflation in baseball and what some of the historic biggest contracts in baseball would look like compared to dollar values today with a couple of different measurements.

Really interested to see what our dollars look like for this deal. If anyone hears anything, please share.

Fit? Sure, for 2019 and probably 2020. For a 5/6 year deal? no.

Yeah for whatever you think of Dave (not much) he IS connected.

Best chance at a playoff series?

Haaaaaave you met Caulfield?

Interesting read, can't wait for the audio.

I don't even need watch the replay to know which one you are talking about.

Maybe Georgia should have spent more time practicing for the Texas game instead of being salty about missing the playoff.

I can't get anything that equates a sporting event to Rodney King.

So let's say the Sox are at the 10/300 mark, that puts the Yanks at 6/176.

This. The bigger the contract the better.

Since this is the official signing record, I want to go back on record saying that with the injury history Japanese pitchers have coming to the states, and the fact he has already has some shoulder problems... I am glad this wasn't as at this commitment.

The process for superstars has always taken that long. We just never had the microrumors to make it seem this long until recently.

Yet here you are posting about the team and giving them free space in your head.

Pot, meet kettle. There is only one of us holding a four decade grudge.

Baseball is very different for two reasons. #1, their minor league system is super unique, and #2 MLB is the only pro sport with an anti-trust exemption.

And there is number one, right one cue.

The NBA doesn't have anyone to market, which is why you see Michael Jordan in commercials.

Now you are just full of it if you are trying to sell that the 70s were good for Sox baseball while at the same time bemoaning the results of the modern era.

And sadly the best examples are yet to post.

The misery index is where Sox fans shoot for #1.

So far the Strome deal has been an epic win.
