So this offseason, the Red Sox have spent close to $300 million on two players. I don't want to hear anyone from the Red Sox fanbase or the media EVER complain about the Yankees buying players or championships ever again.

That's why I've always referred to the two offending teams as The First National Bank of MLB and The Second National Bank of MLB; to me, there's no difference in principle.

There isn't...only in how the media portrays them. Agon and Carl Crawford wouldn't be thought of in glowing terms if they had left for the Yanks.

I am enjoying all the media pundits fall over themselves in explaining how the team that was supposed to be 162-0 right out of the gate has the worst record in baseball right now.
