The leaks seem to happen most when it was bad, this season at least.

Did you watch videos of the 600,000 people in the United States who died?

I don't particularly missed the days when the team sucked, because that is why cheap tickets happened.

I can't imagine being so bothered by the fact that Madrigal has high goals, but you do you.

Yeah, now new contracts is a totally different story for sure.

So the raises won't actually affect the luxury tax as much as it will the bottom line. Remember it is average price over the life of the contract, and not the year to year salary. Because everyone is cheap now, we are taking the cap hits early of the salary being way under the luxury tax number, but that will flip in a couple of years.

Boy that is a heck of a limb to climb out on.

Well, if he keeps falling off post sticky stuff, I am not sure I am interested anymore.

I would LOVE this deal to happen, if it was the Sox picking up dollars and not giving up a big prospect load.

Nah. If Story is a rental, there is zero chance you f with the face of the franchise to do it.

Yeah I mean we all kind of thought they needed to be deeper, but when you look at the players we have lost, and the lengths of time we have lost them, yet here we are still in first place by 6 games... you can't really argue they weren't deep enough very effectively. It has been surreal to be honest. I said it in another thread, but if you told me in Februrary we'd be running an OF of Brian Goodwin, Jake Lamb and Luis Gonzalez, with guys like Jake Burger and Gavin Sheets also on the same roster, and giving Ryan Burr key set up man innings.out there at some point, I'd be asking how close we were to the #1 pick next year.

No one "failed to understand" that. Everyone else just looked at the rest of baseball and understood the landscape.

FIFY

Because Mercedes can't catch.

They have a 1B. They have plenty of DHs. Also McCann has sucked this year, and has been out hit by... Zack Collins. For 9.5 million less dollars, or about as much as Lance Lynn is making this year.

That adds up to just short of 30 million a year for one position. That is lunacy.

30 million a year for catchers? And that is a better allocation of resources? God, no.

So you wanted to drop $10 million a year to start McCann 50-60 games a year, on top of the $18 million for Grandal?

Unless you saying that you were benching Grandal?

Eaton can play out there, the problem is that he will probably pull something playing CF. He can handle it out there, but he'll be hurt again in a week.
