chw42 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Wow who else are they looking at? As far as I'm concerned the only guy we should upgrade is Jace Fry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Bullpen depth might make sense if Heuer is indeed packaged for a starter. Â Seems pretty set otherwise to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I'm concerned the only guy we should upgrade is Jace Fry. Assuming Crochet opens the year in the minors, who is in the pen as of now? For 8 spots, you have Hendriks, Bummer (L), Marshall, Heuer, Foster, Fry (L)Â as the likely locks, probably a long-reliever/spot starter (not sure who would serve this role as of now as I also think Lopez opens the year in the minor as a middle-reliever), and then one more spot that as of now I guess could go to Ruiz or Cordero. I assume they will upgrade that spot or add a long-reliever. Edit: just saw the new tweet, Not really news here as every team signs guys to minor league deals for bullpen depth.

Eh. Personally, when I think "Future Sox," I think prospects. Not some quad-A reliever. It's probably fine here.

Your right its probably better to keep it in here. I’m thinking long relief for the added bullpen depth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 The Sox seem to have guys with big arms and control problems on these types of deals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 (edited) Speaking of long relief. Lopez being shopped? Edited January 13, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This really shouldn't be surprising. There's quite a few arms available out there on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capital G Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Don't see the point in shopping Lopez. We won't get anything. Might as well see if a new pitching coach can unlock something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any fat you can cut will help open up money for additional players, i.e. La Stella, SP etc. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 "Competitive major league team looking to add bullpen depth" Cheesy beef really going out on a limb here... I still don't buy that this guy knows anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomPickle Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Nick Tropeano is a guy I would like to see the Sox sign in the 'dumpster diving' tier of free agents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
