Manfred once paid a convicted felon $100,000 to steal A-Rod's steroid records out of a Honda Accord in a tanning salon parting lot. I don't think you're off base in questioning it.
In January, he declined his 2022 opt out.
Who is going to trade for a guy owed $45m that just dodged a rape scandal?
Unless MLB suspends him, he's a Dodger next season (whatever "next season" means at this point).

When the Sox get some offense back from the disabled list, I think getting offensive production from catcher is really just gravy, so long as the pitching is still there.
Sox won a world series with a softball player as their backup catcher.
I'm probably getting way ahead of myself but if this team amounts to anything in September and October this season, TIm Anderson gotta get some MVP consideration.
