Honestly, might be a genius. Make up a bunch of rumors, then throw water on them before you're proven incorrect, and gaslight everyone over the origination of those rumors. That Mick guy could learn a thing or two from him.

Eklund may have been more accurate than this guy, not sure how ... but it's close.

I really don't understand the Arenado infatuation. He's on a downward trend, still has 3 years on that contract, as well as deferred money through 2041.

Even if STL eats a big amount of that, it's not worth trading anything of value, IE Casas, for that.

Better off taking the chance with Bregman on a 4 year deal if his market completely crashes.

Arenado's still an elite defender, and the Sox have some pitchers who force a lot of ground balls. In that way, it makes some sense. My worry is that the bat speed is going quickly, and you'd eventually end up with a $20 million/year late inning defensive replacement.

I think if Bregman were willing to sign a 4-year deal, he'd already be a member of the Red Sox.

You can get defensive help without signing up to 3/74 of active contract and 20/45 of deferred money on a rapidly declining player
