Weirdest stance ever... can't believe he hit 34 dongs in San Diego a year after leaving the Sox.

He had the highest strikeout rate of his career despite being down 2 mph on his fastball. Change up was still great. If the front office thinks the normal post-surgery velocity recovery will occur, he seems like a prime target.

keeping tabs on the messaging:

best per dollar free agent signing of the offseason thus far?

Wowza:

This doesn't have home/away numbers, but left centerfield at Fenway should help Bregman a lot. There is a lot of space in Houston to the right of the Crawford Boxes.

I can see the case for more hits, more doubles, and a drop in home runs.

Weirdly, they screwed this up at the Juniors level too, with both teams wearing blue helmets. Maybe there was a shipping mistake?

OPS+ for Bregman the last 5 years: 117, 113, 134, 122, and 118. Yoshida was at 112. So, minimal offensive improvement if the plan is to bump Masa. Plus Bregman just had his second elbow surgery. And he'd cost a draft pick.

This is the trend data that make me nervous about anything beyond age 33 for Bregman and even that is pushing it.
