January 2, 20206 yr $76 million dollars guaranteed without ever playing a major league game. Good for Robert and good for the Sox.

This is the best all around player they've had in my lifetime. Can't let him get away. They didn't let Frank get away so I hope they treat Moncada with the same reverence.

January 2, 20206 yr We will get a deal done with Yoan when the time comes. We will probably lose Eloy in 7 years though after giving Yoan, Gio, and probably Kopech good deals. If for some reason Yoan can't be retained, we will probably trade him for a King's ransom and replace him with a FA. If you take him off this team, we can still win with the rest of the talent that will be here.

To get rid of the manipulation, players will get paid earlier. In return, I think teams will get the franchise for 1 home grown talent per year and a max of two tags per player.
January 2, 20206 yr Sox are going to have 1 of the most exciting lineups in baseball on day 1 and are only going to add Madrigal shortly... Hahn and co actually proved us wrong. Good for them, I have no problem eating crow. A lot more left to do on the field of course.

January 2, 20206 yr Beautiful. Hopefully he can stay healthy and develop some more plate discipline. Remember, just a year ago some people were already writing him off.

Let’s just celebrate what we have now, which is now all of our top acquired talent in the majors on opening day. If we have to pay Moncada “a lot”, so be it.

Wouldn't be surprised if the afternoon guys have a 15 minute segment on the Sox and then talk about how bad Mitch Trubisky is for 4 hours.
