caulfield12 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Any ideas left behind the Dodgers ones on Kimbrel? Royals, Rays, Rangers, Blue Jays, Marlins, Mets, Dodgers, Padres, Cardinals, Red Sox...that's 33% of MLB but still no real rumors, apparently. Possible the Indians look at moving Karinchak, but he lost a lot of value the second half. Trivino of the A's is being more hotly pursued than Kimbrel, according to recent rumors. Royals/Rays/Marlins will ask for a lot of money back. Rangers/Blue Jays/Cardinals seem like at least halfway legit possibilities. Kimbrel experienced most recent success in NL Central. Dodgers/Mets/Padres/Red Sox coming up against CBT issues (assuming Boston would revisit Kimbrel, but likely to add Story and/or Conforto). Just no way Hahn could take the humiliation of two lopsided deals with the Cubs, right? Edited March 19, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneofthemikes Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 The complacency from this organization is mind-boggling. Last seasons best teams in both the AL and NL are pushing their chips in, the rest of the division are in position to start competing for the ALC title as soon as next year with some moderate aggression and the White Sox have a $60M bullpen, 3.5 starting pitchers, and a first baseman in right field. What the fuck are we even doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is getting harder to defend him as this season moves along. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Preller is now under real pressure in a way Hahn never has been...and is feeling the sting of missing out on Suzuki in particular. They also have sold a ton of season tickets, have a new manager in Melvin (GMs rarely get to fire three guys) and all the ramifications of the Tatis injury. Padres are rich in Catchers and Caratini would be a good get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 It’s March 19th, the season is a few weeks away and there is still a huge hole in RF and the starting pitching depth is a huge concern. Outside of re-signing Leury, signing an aging cheap 2B with diminishing skills, 2 relief pitchers (liked the signings), and a cheap starter with an ERA above 6, I’m having a hard time believing this team is better than the 2021 squad. I know the off-season isn’t over yet, but I can’t believe there were that many talented free agents available and the Sox refused to get “uncomfortable” financially to address the remaining roster concerns. It’s not like these issues can be addressed with farm depth either, we all know the Sox are dead last in a lot of farm system rankings. If they platoon Leury/Engel/Sheets/Vaughn in RF, they are pathetic. It’s the same formula as 2021. It didn’t work. Both Vaughn and Sheets aren’t natural outfielders, Engel is coming off major injuries and Leury’s best role is back up infielder. Sox are close… but could be much closer. And yet, profit margins still seem to be the priority on 35th and Shields. Sad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correa didn’t commit to a long term deal because his old agency, not Boras, would get majority of the commission from that deal. The deal is likely done so if Correa has a similar season as he did 2021 he will opt out and have Boras negotiation a long term deal for him. Castellanos’s 5/$100M deal is a much better comp.

I get what you’re saying but if you look at the other teams that were in the playoffs, they aren’t banking on experience gained in last years playoffs to get them over the hump. They’re signing and trading for top end talent and addressing team needs. If they stand pat, we’re possibly looking at another first round exit because JR wouldn’t open his wallet and actually make this team better.

This is good news for the Sox, especially if it makes them pony up for Conforto now. 🤷 I’m choosing to see it at a positive - more competition in the division making the Sox stay engaged down the stretch. I’m not scared of the Twins, yet, I’m more afraid that the complacent Sox do nothing else of substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude can never stay healthy apart from his contract year We should have hoped he went to the NL...but it's possible it completely backfires and he gets totally frustrated if they don't get off to a good start. At that point, how long he'll stay in Minny becomes the main focus of attention, like Bryant already in Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
