THREE HEAVY-HITTERS OF FENWAY PARK

Mookie Betts salary is $10,500,000 - only! J.D. Martinez's 5 year contract is $110,000,000. David Price earns $30,000,000 a year. These numbers are incredible beyond all realization or belief.

I don't think Red Sox fans have a clue as to how much money is involved. Granted, Red Sox players deliver. 90 wins - 40 losses.

Baseball is a business and free agency changed the rules of the game forever. Ted Williams and YAZ seemingly played for peanuts. Not so today. Are the men worth it?  Clearly the fans think so.

Our National Pastime seems to be in flux. Crowds are down (except for Boston.)

Price is 6'5" and Martinez is 6'3".. Mookie Betts, by comparison, is a shrimp at 5'9".

The season is winding down with thirty or so games remaining. Place your bets on Betts! I think he's amazing.. has personality.. and is a giant in his own right!
