I’m not sure how this team does it. They’re one part 2013, one part 2018, and probably some baking powder. Mix in some Matt Barnes curveballs, an Alex Verdugo homer, and sprinkle vigorously with Rafael Devers for added spice. Then bake at Fenway Park ok this is dumb but you get the idea.
There’s a special place in heaven for people who get up early to drive folks to the airport, Matt. Also, naps.😀
Not a fan of taking on other teams’ bad contracts, and Hosmer certainly qualifies.
First, adding Hosmer wouldn’t improve the Sox much, if at all.
Second, he’d push the payroll over the luxury tax threshold. Hosmer has four years left on his deal; he’d merely go from being SD’s albatross to Boston’s.
I’m fine with exceeding the luxury tax, but only for a significant upgrade that really improves their chances in the postseason.
For example, there’s this 3-time Cy Young winner in Washington. . .😀
