Are you under the impression you’re a centrist when it comes to baseball analysis? Most here would probably put you in the “crazy emotional uncle” section of baseball intelligence
We weren’t exactly expecting to replace Barger.
Okamoto is the Bo replacement (much cheaper and slightly lesser player) although he’s actually been better than Bo this year. Also getting more defensive WAR at SS by not having Bo there.
Imagine having both him and Vlad locked up, and not even knowing if you can rely on either of them anymore in year 1 of 10 loll
we were very close to paying 70mil per year for Vlad+Tucker for the next 10 years
Farewell start for Gausman. He’s had some really great starts in Fenway over the last couple seasons, lets hope he can end things with a strong showing.
