Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 4299282, member: 1572"] Most MLB teams that sign FAs to monster deals for 8+ years live to regret it. LAD and NYY have traditionally spent the most and yet over the last 20 years each has just one WS title. NY looks primed to win one this year due primarily to a loaded pitching staff of young inexpensive talent. The Braves last year had a bunch of power arms. SF won some titles with dominant pitching. I hope they sign both Devers and Bogaerts but if the bidding level is insanely high and each guy wants to go to the highest bidder then thank you and adios. The Bogaerts situation is tricky. Boston has Marcelo Mayer (19) who is considered a top ten MLB prospect and was the 4th overall draft pick last year. They may not want to give an 8+ year deal to a 30 yo guy when they have a stud who is projected to be ready in two to three years. [/QUOTE]
