I'm down with pops on this one. Boras clients in most cases do not sign extensions because Boras drills it into their heads that they are obligated to drive the market ever-upward as an FA. Bryant is shaping up to be a classic overpay in my view. Some times the employer is punished to set an example unlike with Stras this season. The Cubs cannot afford to extend him so they need some MLB young talent in return. I otherwise do not take sides but you cannot afford to sign everybody with a shiny price tag.

He would miss out on facing Twins pitching.

The soft cap belies the open checkbook theory. You have to be smart with every penny. You end up paying guys not to play like the Red Sox.

Have to be careful walking a righty.

Ed Farmer status could be shaky from what we saw last year.

Sox wrap up another outstanding move. What an incredible deal. Steve gives up two years of arbitration. Manny Bunuelos is next.

Theo will be fine. The Sox might compete this year and liven up the city rivalry. I would trade Bryant but he is a fan favorite. Give us Q back and we will give you a B and C prospect.

Plan Z would be to sign No Va for overflow work in the pen and bring up a couple of 4A guys like Fulmer.

Sounds like that would make them fireable offenses. Luhnow has really been caught up in some ethical challenges so maybe the Patriots will call him. Win at any cost could end up costing too much.

Most of us seem to think of the Mazara move as an educated informed gamble. I expect he has upside we will see.

The exact length of the deal is unknown but includes multi-year mutual vesting options. The Riverdale actress bride also had a tattoo of her betrothed attached to her lower left booty-call region.

Multiple ankle fractures after double heel surgery. Wonder how well he is walkng?

I have a low bar for Rodon. If he can tie his shoes by July it will be a success. The Sox may work an extension with his domestic partner. Dunning would be a nice surprise.

So glad you took a stand. Someby has to.

Sounds like Rangers decided to make room for Willie Calhoun when they traded Mazara. Put up some decent numbers in 83 games. Small built lefty will play LF.

With the new loogy law it's not clear if 13 arms are needed. Have to see how it works out.

Hope Jerry had his yacht waiting over by the Bay Of Pigs.

I have my doubts about the Pods ever breaking through.

I can do that while lighting my cig. Poor guy could not pull the ball so his HR were mostly CF.

In 1972 Sox had three young pitchers who could touch 100. Goose Forster and Black Bart.

Maybe Tatis and Yoan will enter The Hall together. Maybe Tatis will have a chronic bad back and his brother will emerge as a talent along with Yogurt Sanchez. Some people thought Buxton was going to have a great career. Others thought Ortiz wasn't worth keeping around and not coachable. Maybe Muchado will never make the playoffs.

The 1954 squad went 94-60 which was only good for third place. There must have been a few pretty bad teams in that eight team league just after the Browns left St. Loo and the A's were getting ready to leave Phila. The Senators were almost always bad.

I am compiling a bio on Tayron's Sox career. It could take a good while.

If Mazara works out the Socks could have three studs in the OF, one roaming and two stumbling. I believe he will prove his worth.

88 often refers to piano. Perhaps he is also a Maestro Liberace.
