November 28, 20214 yr $25M AAV for 7 years isn’t terrible if he can still play at a high level at the back end. Big if though.

November 28, 20214 yr Really MEH feeling not going anywhere close to that for Semien. Good player but just don’t think the Sox needed him at all

Not upset about the lack of pursuit myself.

We will never be in on any youngish true quality players if we won't step in the water. Thus my fear is we spend big on closers and other older players on the decline.

You'd think if your that old and have plenty on $$$. You'd say "fuck it" and go all in. Especially for one of the most talented teams in the league.
