Red Sox played hardball with Xander to get the price down by signing story as an implied "he can play SS next season you don't have leverage" and Xander got a bigger deal to go somewhere else. it's not just the red sox are cheap, but that is a lot of it

Ultimately I think the Red Sox FO really didn't think much of Xander's D at short going forward.

I've gone from Chris Sale being a no doubt Hall of Famer to he probably won't make it in about three years. What a truly bizarre career.

Tbf that team was an actual dynasty rather than perennial regular season champs with one ring in a season almost as fake as 2017 to show for it.

That's how you get into the Hall of Fame with a losing career record as a manager, yeah. Either that or own your team and manage for 50 years.

Intruder posted:3 in 5 years isn't something a lot of teams can claim Not quite, they won in 1955, 1959, 1963 and 1965. Lost the WS in 1966 as well as 1952, 1953, and 1956. They also lost three WS in the 70s. I think they've lost more World Series than anyone else.

Complete list of teams other than the Yankees that have won three World Series in five years: Philadelphia Athletics (1910, 1911, 1913--the $100,000 Infield) Red Sox (1915, 1916, 1918--also 1912, Satan exacted a high price for these ones) Cardinals (1942, 1944, 1946--some historians look askance at this one, because the St. Louis War Board was willing to let the Cardinals' stars have exemptions from WWII service to an unusual extent) Oakland A's (1972, 1973, 1974--the only non-Yankees team ever to win 3 straight titles, and probably always will be) Giants (2010, 2012, 2014) That's it. The Yankees have done it 5 separate times, which you'll notice equals every other team combined. Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 03:43 on Jan 1, 2024 |

The Cubs won in 2016, the Astros won in 2017 but it is null because of cans and the Red Sox won in 2018 also cheating and is null. Ergo the 2016 Cubs are a dynasty.
