Hawk would ramble about Yaz every time Grandal came to the plate.

 

 

Oh god, thank goodness they did not coexist

In a heartbeat.  He won't make THAT much next year.

I can see him getting 4/60 from the team that loses the Realmuto sweepstakes. But who knows how Covid will influence the market.

I would be stunned if McCann gets more than 2 years

Yuck, I wouldn’t want my team to sign him to that deal

As of today, I would guess something more like 2-3 years at $10 mil per.

The catching situation around the league is pretty dire.

McCann looks like he is our best catcher, not a back-up.

McCann has been excellent, but Grandal is a fine addition. I'll enjoy both hopefully then if we lose McCann, so be it. Collins still is a prospect that passes the eye test, granted nothing else so far. But it's possible he's good, too.

Man, no matter what happens the final 6 innings, these AB's for the Sox today have been impressive as hell

McCann base hit!

Yeah, still would be shocked to see a deal that big go to a guy with 150 good games under his belt.

That seems about right. And he might take that over a QO, but I don’t think that idea is so insane if the Sox really valued him but wanted to keep flexibility long term. 

Maybe if they axe EE after this season, but I don't see the incentive for McCann to sign a similar deal here when he could be #1 somewhere else and NOT hurt his future career earnings.

McCann showing off the wheels

Mendick double!  4-0!

Is McCann faster than Yoan?

Too bad that Mendick didn't get under that at all.

He is 30 sears old, this will be his only big contract, in relative terms, he will ever sign.

Mendick barrels it again.

He gets 2-3 years at 8-10/yr tops and that is being generous.

That looked like it may have been a terrible send actually but hey, I'll take it

EE could hit 20 homers and I don’t think he would be back next year.

I thought EE only got 1 year. Damn

Bold prediction: Danny Mendick is a guy that will have a pretty long career in MLB. He does everything well enough
