Red Sox will be "interested"
Aren't all these pro sports commissioners lawyers?
Baseball is only sport that has this problem. Some of the top free agents available as spring training starts is just absolutely ridiculous.

They need more of it with Boras clients.The same way they are treating Bauer in fact. Force people to switch agents and push that greedy puke out

Agreed, but I don't think it's collusion.
For the most part, the guys who are still out there are guys looking for multi-year deals. In order to hand out multi-year deals, teams need to know what their revenues will look like for the duration of the contract, and there are just way too many teams that have no idea what their next TV contract will look like.
Of course, none of this applies to the Red Sox, who should have taken advantage of an artificially depressed market, but that's another story.

I dont think its collusion as much as there's a lot of teams that got caught up in the fallout of RSNs like Ballys collapsing. Tough to give big money if you dont know what your TV revenue will be

This makes me upset because he was such a a baby about it in 2022 that they had to move Story to 2nd base and part of the negotiation of his long ass contract was him wanting to stay at short.
Red Sox 2nd baseman:
They could have paid him and moved him to 2nd like the Padres did. I can understand a guy being reluctant to move to a "cheaper" position in a contract year.
Jeter stays the WOAT for not doing this for the superior defender

Some of these fanatics jerseys are terrible. Never spent a dime on anything fanatics and never will but it's bad enough ripping fans off for cheap crap, now they are sending major league players out to play in jerseys that look worse than Chinese knockoffs. They aren't going away either, pretty sure they if you want to buy merchandise for any of the major leagues plus the ncaa or mls. It's all fanatics.

At this point, sure. I don't give a flying f about this team. But to raise ticket prices and do this? Shameful. But what does John Henry care, visiting fans will take over Fenway again this year.
