Ah yes, the storied Top 17!
It seems like he made the right move, unless the Giants were offering a similar contract. He got his $90 million, only spent 2.5 years in Boston purgatory, then came back "home" to San Francisco anyway (with the Red Sox paying for it).
He was already on the decline before he left, and this way Giants fans didn't have to witness it. They could just embrace him as a welcome back/comeback story.
The article acts like that was amazing. He was an above-average player who swung at everything and couldn't really play his position that well anymore. ZiPS had him topping out at 2.3 WAR and the time and declining from there, about a $45 million overpay on $90 million. Chase Headley was a better player at the time and got 4/52 from the Yankees. And he had a better rest-of-career than Sandoval did (though he wasn't that great overall for the Yankees).
It wasn't the photo of him breaking his belt on a swing.
Ah yes, the storied Top 17!
Looking at the 2011 NL MVP voting, Sandoval deserved better: his 6.0 WAR was eighth among players who received votes. (Cliff Lee got ripped off the worst; his 9.0 WAR actually led the league, and he only got 12 votes to finish 15th!)
He swallowed most of that regret.
It makes me feel good to realize that you can still make fun of fat people and not get cancelled! America...!
Hardly. That crack is going to forever sully the good name of Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful. I'm sure if the resume of Captain Joe Bivens, Pointless and Wonderful crosses the desk of any woke HR manager, you can bet your ass it will be discarded immediately.
