A source close to the talks, said the Sox recent offer was 8/$168, comparing his value to 1B Matt Olesen of the Braves. THey see him as a 1B/DH, but he thinks he improved his skill at 3B this year. Still $100mil apart. /from Globe story
If they let Bogey walk this year and Devers walk next year, the damage to the fan base could be irreparable.
Yeah, um, nawp. No thanks. I agree with the player on this one.
It's not all come together yet. Continued maturity is part of everything for him offensively right now. Continue to improve on his offensive self-control. It's going to get better. We've not seen the best yet. He's going to get big money somewhere. I hope it's Boston.
Defensively, he's on the way. He has improved. He needs to do some more. Dalbec bailed him out plenty early on.
