southsider2k5 Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Let me just say this outloud. Whoever pays Judge $300 million is going to regret it. This is a guy who has had a lot of problems staying healthy, and is probably a DH for a large portion of his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Hahn will low ball him and say they tried. 3yr/$100M sounds about right. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox fans don't have the patience for getting contract output in the front end of a deal, nor the organizational willingness to spend over those bad contracts.

There were still a lot of very delusional people out there these past two off-seasons (post Machado / Harper) thinking Reinsdorf was going to go all in for free agents. Go see Twitter now. People still up in arms about the projected payroll (WSD, James, others). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Unless the Sox have finally learned some PR - undersell the fans and press. Set expectations low - than come in and surprise. In all honesty - way smarter than what they did the past 2-3 years where they rised off-season expectations only to sign all the relievers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially because baseball is trying to figure s%*# out, so I wouldn't be shocked if the juiced ball returns. I suspect Judge was receiving the benefit of non-humidor balls all year so the MLB could push the HR chase. When comparing annual HR leaders vs the 2nd place guy, Judge put up a historic variance. I did the math from 1970-2022, Judge's season represents the biggest variance in that window from HR leader to 2nd place guy, at a whopping 34.78% increase from the 2nd place batter. Only other instance with a 30% or greater variance was 1989. Judge is great, but something is fishy about his past season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
