Good signing, but peculiar. Once Pedroia comes back he's not going to play a ton.
One year deal, with an option, for an eventual depth piece. Makes sense, that's what those guys should be getting.

And Pedroia is coming back from a knee, that's not gonna be easy. Nunez there for insurance if Pedroia isn't right, or Hanley, Bogaerts, or Devers get hurt.

Last 3 years he's played 327 games with a slash line of .296/.332/.443/.774, 106 OPS+, while being a base stealing threat and playing 3rd, short, left, and second.

Honestly surprised a guy like that didn't get a multi-year deal.

This is the craziest FA market ever. I'm sure he thought he'd get a multi-year deal to start somewhere. Then suddenly, pitchers and catchers have reported and people have to scramble. Always liked Nunez. Not the worlds best fielder, but he's an offensive spark plug.

Nunez seemed to make a ton of Yankee sense

Wonder if they just passed, they will rather go the Neil Walker route, or maybe there is something to the MooseTacos for one year rumors

Anyone listen to WFAN anymore? I know Francesa was a real blowhard, but this new crew is absolutely awful....

Awful, it forces me to listen sometimes to the more awful Stephen A. Smith on ESPN

So bad

Francesca, having the ego he does, has been creating rumors about it, but Im hearing (unless something is changed) that Mad Dog isnt interested

They're gold together, but I guess they hate each other's guts.

Ah well.

Yeah, was great.

I like the 2 Bills too. Made Belichek seem more human, and Parcells seem like even more of an asshole then I thought he was.


Yeah, BB still feels almost intimidated by him...yeah, the entire Pats/Jets thing was a real scumbag move by Parcells

Belichick seemed like he was STILL seeking Parcells affection.
