I know it’s the largest contract, but is Grandal the “biggest” signing in terms of splash, significance, caliber of player, etc in Sox history as well? The only other one I can think of his Dunn. Let’s hope this goes a lot better...
I agree that we are not winning a bidding war for Cole. So if we are looking at guys like a declining Bumgardner, why just sign Keuchel now (Probably for less money)?
OK... I'm ready to sign Keuchel now. This pitching staff (minus Gio) is an absolute poop burger.
Give 3-4 years and hope he's the vet anchor and the young arms can fill in around him (ala Gio, Cease, Kopech, etc.)

Yeah, i can't think of which specific team actually has a need for him.
Rays? The Twins and Royals could use him, but inside the division might be difficult.
