“Bregman has two young children and finding a permanent baseball home was hugely important to him as he didn’t want his family life further disrupted now that he’ll be playing this season in his third different city of the last three years. The Red Sox wouldn’t bend on their refusal to grant a full no-trade clause, citing organizational policy.”
Man… we missed out on him because of a NO-TRADE CLAUSE?? that’s really some bs, i feel even worse about this now
whatever man, play the kids – lose 100 games, it doesn’t matter – fenway will be sold out.
An offer only on paper
Don’t blame him. Besides the Red Sox aren’t known for trading superstar players right? Right?
Bregman will be how old on year 3 of this ?
if you can’t get a no-trade out of the sox you know you’re getting traded
Red Sox “reportedly” offered Alonso a 150 million dollar contract but actually gave him an offer of significantly less. I’ll take this with a massive grain of salt
Deferrals spanning over decades? Who do they think they are? The Dodgers? 🤣
Red Sox ownership appears to have a case of Badcontractophobia
Why wouldn’t he ask for a NTC after watching them trade the face of a franchise in year 2 of a 10 year contract? This franchise is infuriating
They won’t be denied the ability to trade their superstars for peanuts
I mean they were right there, they really couldn’t do another $10 million and a NTC?
Lmao this is really bad
Didn’t they sign that one kid to a huge extension after like a week of him being in the majors?
Seems strange they’d gamble on a prospect like that, but try and nickel and dime a proven commodity (obviously the dollar amounts are different, but still…)
The Boston Red Sox announce that the first 15,000 fans to the game on June 29th against the Washington Nationals get a free complimentary kick in the nuts sponsored by MassMutual
youre telling me the team who offered the shittier contract didnt sign the player? shocking
Oof. How to bail on a 3rd baseman with an elite bat…twice.
DECADES? PLURAL?
Five year contact with decades of deferrals lmfao what the hell
This couldn’t have been a serious offer
Yeah, I think all those talks about Boston being cursed again are true. If by cursed it means “run by morons”.
Haven’t been on this sub for awhile. Wtf is the sub profile picture lmfaoooooo
As a Liverpool fan in the Premier league, the stark contrast between how Red Sox fans see John Henry and how Reds fan see him is so funny. Man really hates Boston doesn’t he
They really traded away Rafael Devers for 1 year of Bregman.
I personally offered Bregman twenty-four dollars with an additional $375m “deferred,” but I never got a response.
This reminds me of when the Blues didn’t re-sign Pietrangelo for the same fucking reason. Ridiculous
And yet the idiots at [MLB.com](http://MLB.com) kept reporting “Bregman to the Red Sox” 24 hours a day, without even knowing the details of the negotiations. Just like the “Ohtani to the Blue Jays” BS. You can’t believe anything those imbeciles write.
Which is the better city to live between Chicago and Boston if money was equal?
