Quick Midnight Thoughts:

I'm happy Alex Bregman is not a Yankee.
I'm also not happy that Alex Bregman is not a Yankee.
The Red Sox have gotten considerably better from this deal.
The Yankees are still without a third baseman, and the best one on the open market is now on their closest- and most important- rival.
The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry will now have some new fuel for the fire. That's exciting!
This now takes the Red Sox out of the Nolan Arenado sweepstakes. Looks like it's down to the Yankees and Dodgers now. This has to lower the asking price of Arenado, and raise the demands for the Cardinals to meet.
Alex Bregman is a good baseball player. I want good baseball players on the Yankees.
Alex Bregman is also going to make $40 Million in 2025. The Yankees were never going to reach that high for him.
If the Yankees truly cared about winning, however, they would've offered Bregman the same deal instead of getting stuck in a game of chicken involving Nolan Arenado.
Oh, and Bregman will play second base...I wonder what Gleyber Torres thinks of that. A superstar is moving positions to best accommodate a team that he's never played for.
One last note: It felt like Bregman was going to be a Tiger this whole offseason. Instead, he goes to play second base for the Red Sox. Who's playing second base for the Tigers? Gleyber Torres.

Massive over-pay by the Red Sox IMO .... they improve, we are in holding pattern and unless St. Louis has a change of heart on Stroman I cannot see Arrenando playing in Bronx!

there are exactly TWO teams that Bregman MIGHT be worth $40 million to- Boston and Houston. he has a career 1.200 OPS in Fenway. he is getting paid like Aaron Judge. he has had two elite seasons (2018 and 2019) outside of that he has not approached even half of Judges value in WAR

BUT playing half of his home games in Fenway makes him a much better player. and while his agent only cared about getting him the most money - and to a large degree did succeed, I have no doubt that Bregman NEVER wanted to play home games in Detroit.

when they say opt outs, I guess that means Bregman can opt out, or in for that…

My point is that the Red Sox feel he is because they know how much money he will generate. That is my point. We look at numbers differently.

We see $40 million and think of Judge.

That's not how the teams look at money.

We see $40 million as a huge amount. That the Sox gave that amount to Bregman says they don't see $40 million the same way that fans do.

Another band box to call his home. He'll do well there.

Now the Yankees can get Arenado. I hope they do. Today.

As for the deal... $40 million???!!! This, again, shows that we, as fans, do not understand, at all, how much money these players are really worth.

Also, all winter, so many said, "Bregman will only settles for 6 years or more." It's funny, no one comes back, though and says, "I'm wrong."

Arendado's contract now looks much more reasonable.

Get him today.

No, the MVP is awarded after the World Series. That didn't come before the playoffs.

But that's besides the point...

In other words, by your logic, it's okay to be against cheating to the point of calling players vile names only if it hurts the team you're rooting for.

Okay.

The only reason the Astros cheating was bad was that it impacted the Yankees. Is that it? Really?

I didn't root for the White Sox in 1919 so I guess I should be okay with the cheating...

I didn't lose money in the Brinks robbery so, it wasn't so bad...

On and on...

Is that really the stand you're going to take? It's only bad if it impacts m…

Cheatro Bregman reunited with Cheatro Cora. How precious.

Actually, this is a good result, as I can redouble my rooting for career-ending injury to Bregman.

Mays was on the team. I don't see any difference between Mays and Bregman in so far as they both benefitted by being on a team that stole signs to win a pennant.

Why is it Bregman guilty and Mays is not?

Why can't one say "might be slightly off-kilter to offer Alex Bregman as being a central participant in a Cora-supervised cabal."

The proof that I am correct is that none of the Bregman haters have been able to explain this inconsistency in their reasoning.

"I would never want Bregman on my team because he was a cheater."

"Would you want Willie Mays?"

"Of course!"

That's the point.

There is no consistency to their positions.

"A young man from Compton rises to the highest levels of baseball greatness.

Considered one of the classiest baseball players ever, this is Roy White's story, but it's also the story of a unique period in baseball history when the Yankees fell from grace and regained glory and the country dealt with societal changes in many ways."
