    And, where's the history on how twitch muscles age?

    are you on board with the GM Slasher deal of handing Mr. Betts a blank contract and letting him fill it in?
    Note - this was my thinking prior to last season. as he gets closer to FA i dont do this deal. do i do it today? yes.

    In Henry and Bloom I trust to make him the right offer. Nothing else we can do.

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Betts tosses 16-pound bowling balls around for fun every offseason. He stays in shape.

    And that insane throw he made this year. I don't think he lacks in brute strength.

    Betts doesn't want to sign. He has already made life altering money. He doesn't need to give away his bargaining power.
    Hal sucks

    The Sox only hope is the fact that last year, Bogaerts was in the same position. Except Xander was represented by an agent notorious for eschewing extensions prior to free agency, and especially the year before free agency...
