Boston had a seat at the table.

Those are your standards, not mine.

I guess working a new job every year is plausible.

I wonder if Jerry tried to jump into this?

The world may never know.

Or they thought he wasn't ready for the bigs yet.

You gest, but how many people quit a job everytime their boss tells them something they don't agree with?

I mean you owe him the money anyway. You break camp with him and see if the winter did anything for him. If not you cut him in June and move on to the winner of Perez and Zavala.

One of my all time favorites. Gonna miss the guy.

Of all of the issues, this isn't even a top 5.

Thinking about the timing here, I wonder if it was done to lessen the Abreu signing.

The problem is too many Sox fans have an irrational little brother complex when it comes to the Cubs which clouds their judgment. Jose Abreu going to a mediocre 2nd rate team was a way better option than his signing with the world Champs . That is the bottom line.

I have been waiting a year to hear the real story here. The other one didn't add up.

This is not better. The Cubs suck and are no where near the playoffs. Helping playoff teams is the opposite of what this organization needs.

It's the same as if they got a 1/10 with a $2 million buyout when it comes to the math.

They don't, but to get into the US they need them.

It was never 8 million. The original post was that it was at least 8 million, not that it was 8 million.

It's also worth noting that after 9/11 the US government when into a whole other level when it came to the qualifications needing to get into the United States as well as green cards and other papers required for foreign workers. While it wasn't difficult to make up documents pre-9/11, it is a different world today.

Ugh, we are going to regret this.

Bassitt is probably going to get $100 million in his next contract, maybe more.
