    They aren’t. Their fans are just morons who don’t know anything about baseball.

    The Sox aren’t pulling Moncada or Madrigal late in the game for a defensive replacement unless it’s an absolute blowout.  Also, his ability to switch hit is not valuable when he’s not good from either

Does that take AZ out of the castellanos sweepstakes?

Betances to the Mets. That kinda sucks, I was hoping he would come to the Sox.

Yeesh, the Halos should just have kept and traded him.

$14 million dollar team option for 2020?  He Just got $16 million over two years.

Me too. ?

 

I guess I’d be ok with Will Harris or Daniel Hudson.

Betances to NYM per Passan. 1 year deal.

Sox can trade for him when they're 10 games up as the ASB ?

Oh that's over 2 years? my bad, I didn't catch the "2022" part buried in there, I thought that was $16 million over 1.

Didn't Betances have the same injury as Herrera? If so, I'm not surprised Hahn didn't go after him.

 Very happy we didn’t sign this scrub.

What are you talking about. Coming of a 2.5 fWAR season he's a bargain at $8M AAV. I think many here would be happy with his modest production and defense than a gamble on Mazara.

I wouldn’t bet a dollar on Calhoun maintaining any sort of consistency with his offensive numbers at age 32, considering how awful he has been with the bat in the recent past.

Not surprised Betances signed with the Mets... he’s from NY, loves NY.

You do realize 5 out of last 6 seasons he's worth way more than that AAV. He had one bad year in 2018 and bounced back nicely. It was a fair, low risk contract for a player of his value, hardly dodging a bullet as you have suggested.

No reason why we couldn't have signed him to a deal worth $11.

I don’t even like Mazara but I’ll take his youth, potential upside, and mediocre consistency over a 32 year old who put up OPS’s of .725 and .652 before his “breakout” year last season.

I'm sure he wouldn't play for 11 bucks.

Agreed.  But I also saw that the 2021 option is a player option, not a team option, so it’s not as good as I initially thought.
