AlHal is obviously on a buying binge, never to be embarrased like last year's Yankee collapse. I hope they get MANRAM as well and spend a zillion dollars to get him and everyone else.
I don't blame the Boras types, he's in it for all the coin he can haul to the bank, as are the players. However, it's the fans who continue to shell out their hard earned dollars to watch the spectacle. After all, it's America's passtime. Go before you have to cash in your 401k (what's left of it) to see a game.
Oh, BTW, money does not buy or ensure performance, particularly when it is up front and guaranteed. Just ask the Braves about Mike Hampton. MLB contracts should provide for an ample salary, commensurate with stats and years of service, then let them be rife with clauses payable upon end of year stats.
Red Sox Nation says...see you in October.
