Ref was great at what they asked him to do here (crush LHP), but hopefully this means Cora will follow through on his stated plan to let Wilyer Abreu hit against lefties this year.
The Seattle Mariners sign OF Rob Refsnyder to 1-year, $6.25M deal. Jeff Passan with agreement; @ken-rosenthal.bsky.social on money.

That’s a big boy win right there.

Happy Bakemas everyone. Extra Christmas cookies for Drake when he gets home!

Thank god, at least from a Red Sox perspective. I was going to flip an absolute nutty if Breslow tried to sell us Jorge Polanco as a 1B/DH option.

Also, LoL @ the Mets for letting Pete walk and then giving Polanco $20 mil a year in a panic.
Infielder Jorge Polanco and the New York Mets are in agreement on a two-year, $40 million contract, sources tell Jeff Passan. He is expected to play first base and DH.

I’ve made peace (kind of) that the Red Sox are not gonna sign free agents any more.

That said, the least “Brez” can do is give me the courtesy of not making me watch Jarren Duran any more.

David Hamilton too for that matter.

I would actually have a little respect for the Red Sox if they had the stones to come right out and say “We aren’t going to play at the top of the free agent market” instead of gaslighting us every winter.

Build through the farm, make your trades, and sign your stupid little “value” free agents:

Sox need to make room for that “we were definitely interested in him” banner.

Fuck. I wanted Pete, but not surprised the Sox wouldn’t do those numbers. (Not that they shouldn’t!)

Orioles are better for this, but he’s gonna hate that left field canyon at Camden Yards.
Any hopes of #RedSox landing slugging first baseman Pete Alonso are dashed as #Orioles are finalizing a 5-year, $155 million deal says ESPN's Jeff Passan on Twitter.

I know nothing about the background of this, but I read it in my Forrest Gump voice: “There was Cleveland, he was from Baltimore.”
From the NFL: Ravens OL Ben Cleveland is suspended for the club’s next three games without pay for violating the NFL’s Substances of Abuse Policy.

LOL @ the Chiefs

Keep Brady’s name out of your mouth when talking about Mahomes.

Keep Gronk’s name out of your mouth when you wanna talk about Kelce.

It ain’t even close. Never was. Never will be.

How can anyone say with a straight face that Jeff Kent, who was a perfectly average player until he got to San Francisco and *somehow* turned into an MVP at age 30 was definitely clean while holding the likes of Bonds, Clemens, Sheffield (and Manny & A-Rod, et al) out for juicing?

Total joke.

Why is half of my feed people complaining about how MLB doesn’t have the same musical entertainment as NFL halftime shows?

Jesus, not every sporting event needs a concert on top of it. Can we not let things breathe anymore?

This makes me like the Sonny Gray deal more than I did yesterday.

Never thought Cease was a fit for the Sox. They’re just not gonna outbid teams for the 30+ year old starters, and that may well be right approach.

But either way, it’s so nice to see teams making moves before late December!

Seems…fine. Don’t love it, don’t hate it. If he’s taking the Giolito veteran depth role, and they’re still after a high-end guy, it’s a good move.

Stability at the back end of the rotation, maybe allows them to take a risk? Bring me Tatsuya Imai.
Sonny to the Sox.

Welcome to Boston, Sonny Gray!

I mean you could apply this to basically any issue over the past 15 years, but if it was a Democratic appointee who suggested people should dress better at airports, how fast and how loudly would Fox News be pushing the “coastal elitist Dems” narrative?
Genuinely wonder how the hell an economy killer administration comes to “dress up to travel” as their winning messaging.
