Very interesting deal there....and the timing.

amazing that the John Henry group buys Florian Wirtz for 135 million for Liverpool but continues to refuse to spend money on the Red Sox

I believe it was 150 Milly! And Lebron's in that group!

Red Sox basically taking the stance of "We pay you the money, you do what we tell you....if not, you're gone".

I can understand that point of view, but it also feels like they were kind of jerking him around with the whole "buy into being the DH" thing and then having to switch gears when the 1B injury occurred.

There was a play about a week ago where devers jogged out a pfp situation. Sox manager was furious and rigjtfully so. I know they wanted to move him, but that was the final straw.

As long as he is not a locker room cancer, it was a good move for the Giants to add a lefty power hitter to help with run production which has been their weakness.

Owners need to stand up to them.
