Makes two of us. Even though it was 4 months late (LOL). Someone post a GIF of Boneface's tremendous fielding, bunting and strikeouts (swinging at balls nowhere near the Strikezone) killing all rallies (LOL).

Lay off the Botox injections and it is possible. You don't look a day over 17 in your av.

Wasn't he going to be an FA?


getting non-tendered was pretty much a guarantee so at least we get a couple bucks out of it

Yep. We would have had to offer him close to $3m, which, yeah, no.

We should give that $50,000 or whatever a uniform and sit it on the bench for a few days, just to revel in the fact that it's not Bonifacio.

They must've traded for Boni after being rebuffed in their efforts to reacquire Yuni Betancourt. It's the only explanation.

They are planning to put him in the middle infield? Its like they didnt even watch him when he was here.

Any word if its a player coming back or cash?

not only did the royals fork over enough cash to buy paul beeston a box of fine padron stogies, but today they decided to entertain the people of detroit by penciling in boni at 3B. apparently he did not commit an error on 3 GBs hit to him today though, weird.

Anybody know who the PTBNL was... or did we just get cash? AA mentioned this would be known by mid September.
