Tough to remember a game that one player owned like this one. Coco, 10d, ended games with great plays in the playoffs, but I can't recall a guy getting the big hit and then ended the game with great d.
They have him under team control for two more years. A long term deal beyond that seems unnecessary.Renfroe has more than earned a longer-term deal with the Sox. Get it done Bloom!
Maybe Jet-Boo is Dave O'BrienThey have him under team control for two more years. A long term deal beyond that seems unnecessary.
Tremendous throw! And to unload it from running toward the fence is extra impressive.Statcast video on Both his OF assists tonight

Also considering how terrible he looked the first month.He really has been terrific. He should finish with 30+ hr, 100+ rbi, and has been tremendous defensively. Like everyone else on the team, he's had some bonehead moments, but on the whole, this has been quite the acquisition for Bloom.
This is going to be an interesting decision for Bloom. Renfroe turns 30 next January and is under team control via arbitration through the 2023 season. Do the Sox want to lock him in beyond 2023? With all of the other difficult contract issues looming, I don't think extending Renfroe makes long-term sense for the team.They have him under team control for two more years. A long term deal beyond that seems unnecessary.
Maybe it's because April seems like it was about 7 eons ago, but I somehow forgot how poorly he started.Also considering how terrible he looked the first month.
Totally agree. No reason to commit to biggish money for his age 34 (or more) season.They have him under team control for two more years. A long term deal beyond that seems unnecessary.
Well, if you could find examples of individual posters who swung from one extreme to the other, you'd have a point. Otherwise, the varying opinions are pretty standard for any fanbaseWow, this board is bipolar. Two days ago, he was a dog for not backing up Verdugo on the inside the parler, now he's deserving of a big extension!
Then Chaim made a fantastic signing.They have him under team control for two more years. A long term deal beyond that seems unnecessary.
This is almost exactly the Steinbrenner line about Jay Buhner. "He had over 30 home runs, 100 RBI, he has a rocket for an arm!"He really has been terrific. He should finish with 30+ hr, 100+ rbi, and has been tremendous defensively. Like everyone else on the team, he's had some bonehead moments, but on the whole, this has been quite the acquisition for Bloom.
Pedantic correction: that's what Frank Costanza says about Buhner!This is almost exactly the Steinbrenner line about Jay Buhner. "He had over 30 home runs, 100 RBI, he has a rocket for an arm!"
Yeah, but my baseball people love Ken Phelps bat.This is almost exactly the Steinbrenner line about Jay Buhner. "He had over 30 home runs, 100 RBI, he has a rocket for an arm!"
Right, sorry, was multi-taskingPedantic correction: that's what Frank Costanza says about Buhner!
He hit .167/.235/.250/.485 with 1 homer in April. Since then he’s hitting .283/.336/.556/.892 with 26 homers in 105 games. Crazy turnaroundMaybe it's because April seems like it was about 7 eons ago, but I somehow forgot how poorly he started.
No need to apologize, this led me down a rabbit hole to compare Buhner's career to Ken Phelps and yea the Yankees definitely whiffed on that one. Didn't realize Buhner was so solid for so long.Right, sorry, was multi-tasking
After hitting .156/.252/.393 for Tampa last year. It seemed realistic to think that he was a sub-Mendoza line hitter who was viable only against LHP. He's been an extraordinarily pleasant surprise.He hit .167/.235/.250/.485 with 1 homer in April. Since then he’s hitting .283/.336/.556/.892 with 26 homers in 105 games. Crazy turnaround
I don’t think he’ll get near that much in arb next year, probably more like $5-6M.What is he gonna get from arb? 10 mil? More?
Hell of an all-around season.
If he continues his current type of production for three years at those numbers, you're at ~ (or less than) $2M/win. That *is* a good signing!I don’t think he’ll get near that much in arb next year, probably more like $5-6M.
To take another outfielder who emerged out of relative mediocrity in his first arb year, Mark Canha had a 4.1-bWAR season in 2019, when he made a little over $2M, and made $4.8M through arbitration the following year (and $6.9M this year).
Renfroe’s arb1 baseline is $3.1M this year, and he’s at 2.6 bWAR. My guess is that he’d make maybe $5.5M in 2022 and roughly $8-9M or so in 2023 if he continues this kind of production.
Steinbrenner's here, George is dead; call me backYeah, but my baseball people love Ken Phelps bat.
One of my favorite scenes of all timeSteinbrenner's here, George is dead; call me back
Got the 30 HR. See if he can get a couple more RBI's in the next few gamesHe really has been terrific. He should finish with 30+ hr, 100+ rbi, and has been tremendous defensively. Like everyone else on the team, he's had some bonehead moments, but on the whole, this has been quite the acquisition for Bloom.
