  1. I’m struggling to see a scenario where we’re competitive only a year from now in ‘25. Even ‘26 is wishful thinking IMO. We have some decent enough pieces in the minors but it’s not like we have a bunch of elite prospects in the pipeline. This isn’t like the last rebuild where you could look at Eloy, Robert, Moncada, etc. and have a basis to think we’d be pretty good in a few years.
  2. Fangraphs had Thorpe and Iriarte as both 50 FV, top 100 prospects. I guess that’s not too bad.
  3. I don’t know, I think a lot of these young extension deals are pretty fair. You’re getting his prime years, and he’s probably at least a 4-5 war guy going forward, with some additional upside since he’s still so young. That’s not a bad deal at all unless he just flops along the way.
  4. Nothing to really complain about with this particular move — basically got the guy for free. It’s more general malaise. Seems like Getz is determined to improve the defense and build from there. We’ll probably lose 100 but play some fundamental baseball, yay!
  5. Bummer, especially to lose him to the Tigers. I know opinions are split on him but there's a reason he's been in such high demand for non-Sox events in recent years. He's really good at his job.
  6. Hey, Getz is totally unqualified and inspires zero confidence, but who knows, there’s a tiny chance he could get in there and actually be good.
  7. The Angels might be the one franchise we can beat in a trade…
  8. Saw him as high as #5 in mocks. Wasn’t expected to slip this far. I don’t know much of anything but I don’t get the hatred.
  9. I’d grade them below OAK — everybody knew they were tanking.
  10. Zavala did nothing wrong. I assume he didn’t even know Cruz was seriously injured, but all he said was what the hell was that. I was expecting way worse.
  11. Clevinger will never pitch for the Sox. Heck, if you want to go that route, just sign Bauer. He's better and already served his time. (Not suggesting we do that either.)
  12. Seems like you’re the one using it to push politics. The post you’re quoting is merely “pushing” some of the great work Liam has done in the local community.
  13. I’m assuming he’ll miss the year. The chemo and everything really takes a toll. If he can somehow get back before then that’s a huge win — in many ways. And hopefully being an athlete in your 30s helps those recovery odds even more.
