Double sad when you consider we haven't developed a hitter in what, a decade? I honestly don't even recall the last hitter we developed. The more telling thing, even beyond the dollars, is the Sox unwillingness to include a player opt out. That has become an industry standard for big free agent contracts and the Sox are not willing to allow it. That means, as you stated, they will not be legitimate contenders for any big free agents

Yesterday was his chance to step up. to win a World Series in the current climate of super teams and tankers you need to put out a team better than ever. Now we’ve proven we won’t step up for free agents we will always struggle to be a super team and that is hard to swallow as a fan. Yesterday was the death of hope. Hope created by Hahn’s rhetoric during the re-build and then destroyed by him, KW and the old man. Colome for Narvaez is the exact opposite of another Rule 5, Quintana for Jimenez/Cease...it won’t end well. Eaton trade looks okay, but Giolito was expected to be better than the worst pitcher in baseball by most reasonable Sox fans.
February 24, 20197 yr Author Hey, Rick. My initial post applies to Harper too. Just show him the money already. The fanbase will reward you and Jerry handsomely if you do. Edited February 24, 20197 yr by YouGottaBeBleepingMe
