Don't worry. I only need one Sox title in my sports fandom.

Give me a Bears title, and then national titles for Purdue football and basketball and no reason to ever watch sports again.

I kinda agree with Parkins.

Stupid move. Keeping him costs the Cubs $9M. He'll probably sign for $7-9M. They're going to have to sign somebody for about that range for that sort of production.

Dumb move.

They won’t be looking to replace his production.

Gonna be an ugly few years

He was still pretty good in 2019, but yeah...pretty awful in 2020. In fairness, he had company in being 2020 bad.

Schwarber had a .971 OPS in the Series. How many wins for Rodon in the World Series?

The Verlander trade had nothing to do with your BUST post. Schwarber and Rodon were both non-tendered. Who's the bigger BUST?
