Another fear was realized, though.

You can’t possibly be this thick.

Once again, that isn’t the argument. My point was that it’s perfectly normal to take a stance on things that don’t directly affect you. I don’t know why you keep making it about something else.

I don’t think that’s what PaleAleSox was referring to. But you knew that already.

I don’t want to turn this into a big thing because there’s no point, as Timmy joked about, but think this post through. Are you honestly indifferent about people’s behaviour if it doesn’t directly affect you? I doubt it. Anyways, regardless on anyone’s thoughts about Matt Shaw, I can’t imagine it happening.

Shaw certainly has more power potential than Meidroth due to their profiles, but Shaw baseball savant page is much uglier. The guy swings a whiffle bat.

Max Kepler 80 game PED suspension.

Holy hell that’s wild. speaking of arbitration, it made me think of the pettiness with Giolito years ago. Anyone on the Sox a union rep right now?

This actually made me burst out laughing. On the topic though, good for him.

Yeah, I didn’t say anything about their payroll. And actually neither did the other guy. I was just making fun of the *checks notes* thing.

If I had imaginary notes I’d make them much more interesting.

I have the impression he values loyalty over competence.

The idea is they would have an above slot agreement at 2 on hand. But yes, I’m sure I’m overthinking.

Are you at all concerned the Rays will try to push him down to 2 (assuming he’s still the clear 1) with their enormous pool, or am I just being paranoid?

I actually wouldn’t be surprised if they were in on him once he was looking for a shorter term, but bowed out once opt-outs came into play.
