Where was SD getting the money from.

Not surprising: The Yankees are the first team ever with three players on $300+ million contracts.

The Yankees need to keep the Yes Network happy. Judge = ratings.

Red Sox sign closer Kenley Jansen to a two-year, $32 million contract.

Read tonight that Jansen and Bogaerts were teammates on the Netherlands national team and are extremely tight. Hopefully this is the impetus to get a Xander deal finalized.

The Sox made a very fair offer.

I’m glad they didn’t go 11 years. That’s just crazy.

Same here. The Sox were never going to go 11 years. The problem I have with the Red Sox is it never should have got this far. When Marcus Semien signed with the Rangers last offseason, multiple reports were saying that Bogaerts would accept a similar contract (7 year/$175M). The fact that they got in a bidding war with the suddenly reckless Padres is on them.

Oh yeah, Benintendi too. And to make matters worse, the guy they got for Benintendi (Franchy Cordero) has been released. How to dismantle a 119 win World Series team by Chaim Bloom. Absolutely sickening.

It’s ownership. They are cheap.

Then Mr. Bloom was the exact perfect person for them, and Red Sox fans may have to wait till they sell to see another WS ....

The discussion in Boston is that ownership cares more about their other ventures than the Red Sox.

Yup ....
However, its been that was since they took over.

The Mets Steve Cohen payroll is now $349 million, and the luxury tax will be another $70 million on top of that!
WOW!
