@DannyVietti So? He had a championship caliber roster and 5 superstars. Not to mention Bello, Casas , and Rafaela already in the system. Only reason farm is better is because they keep finishing in fucking last and get high picks. Funny how that works

@TheeAndyMcGill @gehrig38 It was a marketing ploy that backfired like we’ve never seen. You can dumb it down all you want, but people saw it, and made a decision to switch beers.

@SoxRundown You’re high if you think Bloom is signing the two most costly pitchers. Also high if you’re depending on Sale and Paxton. Also creating a problem by moving Devers to DH in year 1 of his 10 yr deal. Especially with Yoshi and Turner on the roster.
