Jerry will give you the Boston insighthere.
Is it a bit of an overpay?
No doubt, especially when you look at his declining numbers over the recent years.

When they were discussing a 6+ year deal for Bregman I thought that’d only end in disaster.
Make no mistake, that guy is gonna give me nightmares in the middle of their lineup.
Three years in a row starting in 2022 the Sox refused to contend.

Perplexing ownership and front office decisions one after another left the team in purgatory.
The 2021 team was legitimately scary and a few wins away from the World Series.
They wanted nothing to do with the team continuing that business and tore it all down.
Extending Devers seemed like a last ditch effort to save the fanbase from fully revolting.
Pitching was ignored for years, especially the bullpen.
Now finally, they’re addressing needs and came away with a great offseason.
The Yankees roster is very good, but not great.
The starting pitching and bullpen are both set up to thrive.
One thing I need to note is how pathetic the front office of the Baltimore Orioles is.
What are you guys doing?
This is their starting rotation with Bradish and Wells sidelined.
They have so many young pieces to trade for elite SP and they just refuse.
I think Boston leapfrogged them this offseason for sure.
What a gigantic disappointment.
