They still have the highest payroll.and where would they be without Martinez let alone Price?
Guys like Sale kimbrel are all guys that most teams wouldn't pay for .
They are not reluctant to pay for any free agent or any player via trade
Let me see them run the team like the Astros or Brewers and be a WS winner.. I've met ppl in Boston who also were saying the red Sox fans are the most obnoxious fans there are.
Weren't they also in trouble with
The signing of International prospects and violating the regulations. Of course totally typical of them .
Yes benintendi and Betts( I can't still figure out where this guy gets his power...steroids?) Good picks
Bogaerts Bradley is ok just had the series of his life vs the Astros
This is a terrible post, so much salt.
Who the f*** cares about payroll.
Red Sox fans whined about Yankees payroll when it was like 85 million above the second place team. It was a stupid argument back then, it's a stupid argument now. Payroll =/= Winning. 5 of the top 10 teams in payroll missed the playoffs. Also, fwiw Astros payroll is only as low as it is, because they still have their big 4 of Springer, Bregman, Altuve, and Correa making a grand total of 22.6 million. Have fun when Bregman and Correa, and Springer (still) are all arb eligible after 2019, not to mention Altuve's extension kicking in at 26 million a year. Will the Astros be on your shit list for big money spenders then? Those 4 easily will be north of 50-60 million.
Red Sox fans are obnoxious? Okay that's great. Could care less. I think Yankee fans are obnoxious. It's almostas if disliking a team makes you dislike their fans! WOW!!!
I love you chastizing them for signing free agents in Martinez and Price as if they are the only team to do so. They cashed in a farm system to acquire guys they wanted in Sale, Kimbrel, Porcello, etc. They also have an entire home grown outfield, which is a top 3, if not the best OF in the game. a home grown at 3rd and SS in Devers and Bogey, and a home grown behind the dish in Vasquez.
Also, Mookie Betts getting a steroid accusation might be the funniest thing I've read here. Want to know why he's good? He has quick hands. Does small guy Jose Altuve do steriods too because hits 25HR a year? No he also has quick hands. Don't need to be a big bulky guy to hit bombs.
It's almost like....they know how to build a team via every avenue available??? What a novel concept.
