Bregman has signed with the Boston Red Sox

No.

Teams don't want to pay him because the things he does best don't pop in the headlines or make fans notice.

He won't hit 30 HR or steal 30 bases. He won't get MVP votes.

He won't excite fans enough to spend additional money on tickets and merch.

 

Well it would be more hilarious than Biggio/Berkman in center with a hill with a flagpole.

 

It's not an arm centric position. He can still run. Height makes no difference with Crawford Boxes.

 

is an offer still on the table with the Astros or is that door locked?

 

My understanding is that they fully expected Bregman to go elsewhere but that they have not pulled the offer, have continued to check in with Boras and Bregman - but they have not increased or modified their offer.

 

It's like someone mentioned something about Altuve going to the OF.

Crazy.

 

This saddens me as we may not see the Judge/Altuve height difference anymore at 2b.

 

Bregman is handling his free agency like a classic Bregman AB. Waiting waiting waiting for his pitch to drive a home run. Maybe he will take a solid double into the gap

 

He doesn't strike out often but definitely risking a lazy pop fly

 

There's a reason why he has only one homer on a 3-0 count...

 

No, I'm saying he's a mediocre hitter.

You're saying he's a decent hitter.

Wow, what a difference.

 

nm

 

and some how leg it into a single.

 

maybe he's decently mediocre and/or mediocrely decent

 

Altuve in the outfield? Lol

 

Single to LF, runner scores from 2B, like the Biggio days

Need a cutoff man b/t LF and home plate?

 

Maybe he will walk
