Red Sox/MLB 2019 Season Begins - Bogaerts Extended 7Y $132M

I'm pretty sure he saved like 45 games. I guess it was no help?

The point is that the bullpen was shaky at best for a large portion of the season including entering the playoffs then all the sudden they turned lights out and became the strongest part of the team as soon as October hit. Worrying about the bullpen in March is wasted energy.

Did they say what Chase tested positive for?

Cheez-it’s

It's like worrying about the Patriots on the first day of free agency.

Hembree not sucking ass this year will go a long way towards this bullpen being okay.

That and Erod maybe going more than 4 innings every start....

Also Tim Collins just got cut. Local kid. Racks up K’s. Would like the Sox to throw him against the wall and see if he sticks. Really only got Poyner and Johnson as lefties

Signed with the Cubs

Good. I know the pitching staff will hate this move, but I still think Swihart is going to be good. Took some years but they are finally going with Vazquez and Swihart

Buster Olney thinks Sale's extension was a mistake. I think the Bosox are a top 2 team in MLB.

Sandoval's contract was a mistake
Castillo's contract was a mistake
Carson Smith's contract is looking like a mistake (cheap, but I'll admit I just hate the guy at this point)

Sale's? Not even close.

I mean could it blow up in their face? Sure.

But giving a guy who's never had major arm issues a 5 year deal at age 30, doesn't look like that big of a mistake to me.

Astros just gave a 36 year old Verlander a two year extension worth 33 million a year, which takes him through his age 38 season. Was that a mistake too Buster?

Buster Olney started as a Yankee beat writer. He's never been unbiased.

Jays vs brewers for the next 2 nights as the big O. I'll take any baseball I can get here for 20 bucks a ticket

f***ing Mazz is pushing an agenda that Mookie doesn't want to be here and how they need to trade him next year instead of giving him Trout money.

I’m not saying trade him but doesn’t something feel off about him? I think he is gone after 2020. I don’t think they pay him the money. I wouldn’t be shocked if we found out he wasn’t really comfortable in Boston after he is gone.

Not comfy? Based on what?

Just a feeling. But I also felt Limp Bizkit was amazing when I was younger so what the hell do I know

Fantastic deal.

he wa getting 17 this year anyways, and 25 next year in arbitration. 67 mil for the two years after, fair deal if he keeps up. He may opt out after those two years, if not (if he stinks/hurt) you only have one more year left.

He deserved it. Wants to retire a Met for some reason, so hopefully this paves the way.
