Happy Pitchers and Catchers report day Spring Training thread

I mean would he rather struggle hitting in Detroit because of a little more long term money than destroy baseball at Fenway?? I can't imagine caring about money so much at that point giving his entire family for the next 5 generations are all set for life.

That he exercises the opt-out wouldn't necessarily mean he doesn't continue to play in Boston. I think if he puts up a big season boras will be thinking about leveraging it into a long term deal.

Good piece by Stecker on Randy and his down year. He had it as age 29 so is it a fluke or the beginning of early regression? I think the OF needs to have a combined .800 OPS for us to have a chance at the division.

I can't stop laughing at Devers facial expressions. lol

Hilarious expressions.

"Would you DH?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I play 3rd."

The rest of the dialogue should have this:

"In your 8 years in MLB with Boston, do you realize you led the A.L. 7 of those 8 years in ERRORS by a 3rd baseman?" LOL

Having nothing to do with that, but in 1990, as a 27 year old, Edgar led the A.L. with 27 errors while playing 3B for the Mariners.
Kyle Seager led the league in 2016 when 28 y.o.

The Red Sox handled this poorly. It's kind of hard to believe.

Who is going to play 3rd if Bregman is going to play second? Casas is at first so Devers can't even do that. Bizarre.
