I struggle with this one. I’m not a big Vlad fan. And maybe that’s my bias. I just don’t think he’s serious about the game.
I long thought between the two, Bo would be the one that I commit to, but that obviously is not happening.
I’m not sure signing Vlad to a massive contract leads to any team level success. It’s easy for him to say he wants to be here – but at what price?
It feels like, more than ever, MLB is concentrating talent into a small number of major markets. It’s quite discouraging from a fan POV. From time to time a small team will squeak in and win something, but it’s hard not to ignore the distinct advantages that certain markets hold.
