The vibes, they’re good.
Whereas nothing has been finalized but, MLB’s most insidery of insiders dropped glitter bomb of pleasure on Purple Sox Nation this afternoon:
Anthony, in fact, was already beneath staff management by way of 2030. This extension buys out 4 extra seasons — those that may occur to coincide along with his athletic prime from age 27 by way of 30. And whereas $130 million appears gentle for a participant who has a respectable shot to sooner or later be thought of the perfect hitter on the planet, the deal reportedly contains plenty of efficiency incentives that would see the whole worth rise to round $230 million. Anthony is each securing his future and betting on himself on the similar time.
Anthony can be leaving himself loads of runway to safe a mega free agent deal within the Shohei-stratosphere when he’s 30 years outdated. And, relaxation assured, if the reaches his potential over the following eight years (and, in light of the fact that I’ve already called him the best hitter on the team, I’m very, very bullish about him doing simply that) then 2034 will probably be a year-long freak-out in Purple Sox Nation. (Who am I kidding? The freak-out will start years earlier than then.) However we don’t want to fret about that immediately. And, moreover, judging by the stream of social media posts we’ve already seen of Anthony and Marcelo Mayer prowling round Boston just like the kings of New England they’re destined to be, he genuinely appears to like it right here.
The Purple Sox have gained seven video games in a row and the membership’s subsequent nice celebrity goes to be hanging round for some time. Immediately is the perfect day Purple Sox Nation’s had for a very long time. Don’t screw it up, Dustin May.
