Anyone see moves beyond this happening? I see two more relatively big additions coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone see moves beyond this happening? Hell, Sox fans better be hoping that resigning Colome is in the cards. I can easily see them Brandon Morrow at this point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vulture 543 Posted December 9, 2020 1 hour ago, TheFutureIsNear said: SP and ?...I have a hard time seeing any kind of “relatively big additions” on offense RP, 2 SP, RF and left handed bat were the stated plan. No reason to think that still isn't the case when two of those are checked off at budget prices. That leaves RP, SP and another bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lineup is full but the roster isn't. Vaughn situation hasn't changed since the Sox said what their off season targets were, I don't see any reason why that would haved changed. With Vaughn you have nine guys plus Leury and Engel. Add a catcher. That still leaves room for another bat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gallo is... not enticing. And Lynn really isn't either. IMO, sign Adam Eaton and Dahl, give up no prospects, and that is a whole lot better than Gallo. 1 down 1 to go.

kwill 46 Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Am I the only one who would prefer James Paxton to Jose Quintana. I guess my thought its you already have 3 innings eaters in the rotation so you can gamble a bit with higher upside.

Also if the money is right they could do Q as long relief/swing man. Or someone else. Extra insurance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hogan873 561 Posted December 9, 2020 We were worried that the winter meetings would be a non-event based on the fact they were slow last year and they are virtual last year. And, they are pretty slow this year except for the Sox. I expect/hope at least one more move this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
