The starting point matters…

Again, moving the goalposts. You blamed Jerry for us not adding two SPs at the deadline. Money wasn’t the reason we didn’t add two and why I blamed Getz instead. I’m not defending Jerry as a cheap, shitty owner because he no doubt is.

Real revenue and profit problem the sport has! Absolute scrubs getting 4 years. I'd bet over those 4 years he produces less bWAR (3.2) than he did in what is almost surely a fluke 2025 with the Brewers.

$58 million for breakout season at age 30 and a 1B at that. Crazy.

Unless Casas transitions into a DH role, seems like his time in BOS has come to an end.

Casas is more non-tender candidate at this point. Hasn't played since early 2025.

Also have Willson Contreras, who is the better defender of him and Bauers at 1B. Probably looking at a timeshare at 1B/DH.

And the Brewers get a first round pick for him signing elsewhere.

Don't know how I forgot about Willson, but I 100% did.

I can't understand why Boston would give him that type of contract.

Ty France just went up in value...

Multiple executives expected Bauers to accept the $23.15 million qualifying offer from the Brewers -- more than nine times what he made in 2026 -- but Boston swooped in and locked him up with the first long-term deal of his career. Because the deal went for more than $50 million and the Brewers are revenue-sharing recipients, they will receive a compensatory draft pick between the end of the first round and competitive balance round A.

I was at the game where Trayce walked one off for the Sox...good times. I did not realize he had retired.

20小时前 — The Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Phillies, Giants and Padres are among the teams believed to have interest in Sato, which bodes well for the 27-year-old.

Wasn't Uncle Sato in the Karate Kid 2 ?

Sounds good to me. Add 2 and sign a closer and lets roll.
