Sox sign Adam Eaton 1 year, $7m plus option

[Greek-konerko 42]

Per Chuck garfien

Great we got this idiot back on the team. Do we have to sign the other idiots son for him to not make a mess of the locker room?

If he can bounce back from a rough 2020 and be healthy, this is a solid move (from an on field perspective).

god damnit.

Chuck has been pushing this narrative hard this week. He has a personal relationship with Eaton. I guess that's how he scooped this one.

Cuck Garfien?  What about Cock Garfield?

[YourWhatHurts 378]

LOVE IT!

awful idea. Awful, awful idea.

[southsider2k5 6,119]

lol, I had a feeling he was a TLR type of player.  Well here he is.

[Dick Allen 3,669]

I like him better than Joc to tell you the truth. If you read our Chuck's article on him, Howie Kendrick paints a different picture of Adam Eaton the teammate than is usually posted here.

But until 2020 he was at least a .360 OBP guy who can give you a little pop, and can hold his own in RF, although not elite like he was.

If you aren't willing to  shop at Nieman Marcus, this is a good TJ Maxx deal.

But unless there is some elite bullpen arm or something else I am missing coming, not netting one of Springer or Bauer, is a failure IMO.

I am OK with this.  

[Rowand44 680]

Ok this one is bad.  

[SoxAce 2,245]

I'll gladly welcome Eaton back.

Sorry keyboard mistake

The club house went from Three Mile Island after the LaRussa signing to Chernobyl after the Eaton signing.

I guess this brings the Adam Eaton trade back to absolutely full circle then, doesn't it.

1 year outfielder?fir 7 millions?jerry opened his wallet again....

[YourWhatHurts 378]

Great deal.  Love it.  Smart move.  Maybe the FO is finally willing to let go of a grudge (good thing) but more likely it probably means Hahn's deals are vetted by TLR (bad).

Y'all doubted chuck

Declining

Slowing

Worse on defense

Worse on offense

Also an asshole.

other than that, great move.

Absolutely hate this. He’s always hurt and defense has deteriorated.
