The past three seasons Nico Hoerner has averaged roughly 5 WAR (Baseball Reference WAR) while Alex Bregman has averaged 4 WAR and Bo Bichette under 3.
Bregman got $35M per year and Bichette $42. So yes, Hoerner will cost you something, but he is the baseball equivalent of a premier glue guy in basketball (Derrick White type).
Hoerner and Bichette both debuted in 2019. Hoerner’s career WAR is 21.8 versus Bichette’s 21.0. And he is three years younger than Bregman. Go get him!
I am enjoying having some Red Sox coverage on SubStack. Thanks for doing this. And they are pissing me off as well.
We also have our podcast and live shows that are aired on Substack here too!
Thanks for the support Barr!
