Oh no!!!!

After thinking about it some more, I think 7 years is too much for a guy that is 31 years old. That contract takes him to 38 years old. I wouldn’t give that out to someone that’s only had 2 good years and he’s going to a large ballpark.

Semien hit a ton of pull home runs last year and I don't think the size of Globe Life Park will help him.

That said the Rangers have hit on long deals with guys over 30 before. Beltre's 5 year deal when he was 31 worked out great for them. He ended up being productive for 8 years for them. He's also a much better player than Semien though. 

 

I heard rumors that Baez is pretty close to signing with the Tigers. Anyone else heard this?

Oh thank god. This definitely seems like the kind of guy they would sign as Plan D.

Shared with a couple on here that last night I got a text that a big name was pretty much signed (not with the Sox) and that a lot of pieces would fall into place today. Seems like solid info. Same person says Kimbrel deal close, FWIW.

Thanks Pal!  Is the big piece a bat or pitcher?

If you read his post again he said not with the Sox so I’m thinking what he meant by that was the big name he heard that was signing is Marcus Semien signing with the Rangers.

This morning I assumed it was Scherzer with the news he was close. Still think that's the case.

When r the Sox going to do something meaningful and by meaningful I dont mean trading one man's trash for another man's trash?

And this is why Jerry was a no vote on Cohen, prefers collusion over competing.

Or maybe, just maybe it’s because Cohen is a scumbag criminal?

I'm old enough to remember when the supposed insiders were claiming Scherzer was the real pitching target and not Verlander.

maybe they'll be proven right, but there certainly doesn't seem to be any smoke to that one whatsoever.

And they took time out of their minute to minute calls to leak that to the press?

He's not in prison and MLB let him own a team so JR taking a moral high ground is not important to a successful Sox team and is the complete opposite of what he did with LaRussa.

Very weird.  Either Cohen is purposely leaking stuff to these guys or the Mets are simply being used to drive up the price for other teams.

This is a bad take.

That would be funny if the Sox signed Scherzer tonight.

IMO Scherzer is going to take the highest offer mainly as a union rep statement.
