Funny, cause I had been hearing a lower number targeted by him as his agent reached out to other teams. You sure Yanks didn't pay more in the end? And yes, relative to two years ago this is a bargain contract to get him. Post Covid season and another going in with limited to no fans in stands? Kind of pricey. Will have to see how the balance of the free agent market plays this year to know for sure what deals are looking like. Nope you aren’t following the hot stove if you think that. And yanks signed Corey Kluber. Let’s see if he has anything left. Sorry, aparently the stove in Boston is pretty cold. Surprised the Sox didn't try harder for Kluber, because we have such awesome pitching right now.

Yanks rotation just got a heck of a lot better today. Red Sox at least have some semblance of a rotation as of Friday. Not going to say its all that impressive, but its something more than AA/AAA starters.

Interesting day in baseball, none of the players on this year's HOF ballot get in. Now Schilling is asking to be removed from ballot next year, wants no part of HOF after his 9th pass.

And Schilling was the highest vote getter at 71.1%. I don’t think his beef is with the HoF. He wants no part of letting the writers/media decide his fate. If the HoF alumni committee votes him in, he’ll gladly accept. I would put him in, but I’m still biased from 2004.

Reggie doesn’t have much sympathy for Schilling... www.foxnews.com/sports/reggie-jackson-curt-schilling-hof-snubIt’s kinda funny that Schilling himself says he isn’t a HoFer but then also seems to be saying that he was snubbed because the writers don’t like his politics. Whatever. He’s borderline stats-wise IMO but what he did in 2004 puts him over the top for this biased Sox fan. His politics shouldn’t matter either way when it comes to this.

Pedy sure was fun to watch in his prime, played with a lot of intensity. The last few years have been a sad ending to solid career, but could have been a HoF career.

And here we go again, players union rejecting MLB's season proposals. Why is it the MLB and players have so much difficulty navigating this. Doesn't seem like the other 3 big leagues have as much difficulty adjusting for the current times.

Bigger stadiums to fill, longer season, lots of $$ at stake, strong union...should I continue?
