The Astros are gonna get him to pull the ball in the air more and he's gonna hit a bunch of homers into the Crawford boxes.

It seems like lots of s%*# happened behind the scenes in ST last year that we didn't know about. Nobody knew that Tony had a serious health issue. We all just thought he was old.

I was hoping he'd sign with San Diego.

3 year $50 million deal seems about right.

It'll be in Houston though.

Well this sucks. We'll get to see Jose on opening day...in an Astros uniform.

I blame Morossi for saying more than $8 million. Little did he know, it's 50% more than $8 million. Imagine if he said Judge would get more than $200 million and it ended up being a $300 million deal.

This should be tagged as a sponsored tweet by Boras Corp.

I kind of agree with you. $12 million makes it seem like other teams were at least interested. $8 million deals are reserved for guys that teams sign for back end rotation depth towards the end of free agency. That being said, this is the Sox, and they might have just decided to set the market for back end rotation starters...in November. I think a fair deal for Clevinger was probably like 1 year $10 million. $12 million does seem like a slight overpay.

Maybe a $1 year $10 million deal with a $2 million buyout on his option?

Here's to hoping we have more than $180 million to spend, cause Hahn just spent 60% of it on a 5th starter.

Clevinger was actually pretty good until September. His bad September and October probably cost him a chance at a multi-year deal. Being that it's his first year back from TJS, it could be that he just fatigued late in the season. He's got a 114 inning base to work from for 2023, so if he stays healthy, I don't think fatigue will settle in until the 150+ inning mark. The glass half empty take on it is that his decline in September and October are a sign of a further decline. That might be why he only got $8 million. Teams could be skeptical of how his arm will hold up.

Oh you done it now. Orlando is gonna find your Twitter account and flame you for your lack of followers.

How much of that was Emilio Pagan sucking?

Morosi said more than $8 million. That could mean he got $8.5 million or he got an option with a buyout. It's definitely a weird way to phrase it.

He was also awful in the playoffs.

I'm not sure why the Twins would want a reliever when they have Duran and Jorge Lopez at the back end.

If $8 million is all he got then his market must have been very small.

I don't see them trading Lucas while Katz is the pitching coach.

If Katz can get him to stop fidgeting before the pitch I would be so happy.

Donaldson is gonna be 37 and is owed almost $30 million guaranteed. Even if the Yankees kick in $11 million like the article suggested the Sox would still be adding salary for 2022.

Anyone but Donaldson and I'd probably take that deal (all money being equal).

Is this the 2022 version of the Sox are interested in players like Semien and Robbie Ray?

The Twins did just trade Urshela away for a 19 year old pitcher. I don't know if Kepler would demand much more.

Without his starts against the Sox, Bundy would be have been god awful last year.
