“A roster with Mookie, Xander, and Devers”…I’ll be mumbling that to myself in a nursing home someday, I’m sure of it. The Mookie trade was always shortsighted, an insult to why fans care about the team. The Papi celebration really underlined what we all already knew, the whole point of this is the fans connection with the players. If they make the same mistake with X and Devers, the repercussions will be felt for decades.
I agree, Shedd, and thanks for the kind words. I'm hoping they're able to make things work with both Devers and Bogaerts, though recent history doesn't point to a whole lot of hope.
Great stuff, Matt.
