@ChrisCotillo Great paper, great analysis of the situation as always.

@ChrisCotillo If you wonder why the trade talks take so long, just remember who is dealing for the Cards. We got used to and annoyed by the difficulty of Chaim to make decision...he won't change.

@jaketodonnell Why Grissom can't be the next one to improve? Everyone were so excited to get him last year and then it's like he doesn't exist this year.

@ggeiss_mlb Your the GM and Boras call you and say... we wanted 7\$210M... so I understand you say yes...

@G_Mashburn @tylermilliken_ @JohnDenton555 Padres wanted Xander bad enough 2 years ago... So you suggest they should simply complain to the players demands?

@HebHammer94 Proposal: Send Yoshida + Abreu for Arenado + Helsley + Herrera. They save the difference between Arenado and Yoshida and get Abreu for a one-year rental closer and Herrera. BTW, Bloom might love Yoshida since he signed him and love Abreu since he acquired him.

@LouMerloni Again, Boras overplayed his cards with another FA. Thy agent only hit HR with FA that anybody would hit HR. Soto would have had $700M with any agents. Boras = overrated. How many misses the last couple of offseason?

@LouMerloni Just remember how most fans were upset seeing the Sox let go Xander to the Padres. They are actually attaching a top prospect to him hoping a team would take that contract...

@LouMerloni Would love Bregman, but last offseason, most fans were counting out Duran and this year, he is untouchable. Last offseason, most fans raved about Grissom and this year, most forgot about him. If he has a full injury-free season, he could be Duran 2.0...

@gingersnaphyde Last offseason, fans gave up on Duran and we know the story. Last offseason, fans raved about Grissom and this year most forgot about him. If they plug Bregman at 2nd for the next 4-5 years, we will never know if Grissom can be the next Duran... worth a try!

@BOSSportsGordo @ChrisCotillo So, it means they were not interested and we must believe in their knowledge and expertise to evaluate if a player will succeed at the level of the contract he is asking.

@LouMerloni Probably the reason why he is not signed yet. His asking is Boras level... So, it's understanding why the Sox did not get him yet. So, for all Sox fans on X saying they should go uncomfortable with 5 years, it would even not get the job done...

@RedSoxDoug they may be afraid of a Story 2.0 with Bregman... He would necessarily block our top prospects. BTW, everyone were so excited last offseason about Grissom... now everyone is counting him out of the picture... Why?

@RafaelaEnjoyer After Duran, Rafaela, Houck, Bello, Abreu, Casas, we're about to have the next wave of young guns. They need room to grow. We already have Story and Masa as aging veterans... 6 years for Bregman, where do you play Marcello, Campbell and Anthony?

@HebHammer94 And the FO is absolutely right. Would you be one of those complaining about that bad contract in 2030? If he really has that Astros offer on the table, he would jump on it. It checks all the boxes for him. It's all Boras bluff and you fall into it!

@frank_seravalli @off_LangSport

RT @frank_seravalli: Trade call underway now. Full deal: To #RaiseUp: Mikko Rantanen, Taylor Hall To #GoAvsGo: Martin Necas, Jack Drury,…

@JonHeyman Heyman at work once again for Boras

@EdHand89 Just remember, if Sox were managed by most fans on X, they already had signed Bregman for more than $200M and 7 years...

@Chris_NYY28 But most MLB rankings put them in their top 5...
