Ah where do I start 2021 playoff Kiki Hernandez. 408 AVG | 1.260 OPS | 15 hits in a 5-game span (MLB Record) | 34 total bases in 5 games (MLB Record) | 10 XBH & 5 HR in just 11 games
One of the greatest individual playoff runs in Red Sox history.
I can’t believe the Cubs upped their offer that much on Alex Bregman from a year ago. They were at 4 years and $115 MM before the Red Sox signed him. Now, they just dropped their nuts on your forehead for the guy you weren’t willing to go past 4 years for last winter, but were willing to ruin your relationship with the face of your franchise over. The Rafael Devers trade conversation will be turned up to a 10 again and it should be. Oh, I’m sick. Very ill. Quite unwell.
It doesn’t matter if the deal is too much. After watching division rivals load up, you could’ve capped off the winter with a final move that put you over the top. You lost Devers and couldn’t keep the player replacing him. This morning, Sox fans have every right to be livid.
2025:
— Red Sox sign Alex Bregman without telling Rafael Devers
— Devers gets upset
— Both parties hate each other
— Red Sox trade Devers
— Red Sox don’t extend Bregman
2026:
— No Bregman
— No Devers
Masterclass plan, Craig Breslow.
Just remember that the Red Sox had a 30 double / 30 homer bat signed for less than $30M AAV for the rest of his career
And Craig Breslow traded him for Jordan Hicks and a guy we then traded for Dustin May
