A bat first 2B.

What is Sosa's value? He has no position and is a league average hitter

Then they should just keep him and hope he plays well in the first half of 2026.

It would also fit the pattern of post hype prospects.

That seems to be selling incredibly low on Sosa

Petty was pretty good in 2024. Robert and Sosa for Petty, Williamson and the comp pick would be awesome.

would be great if Sox play .500 after the all star break.

Same. Completely turn the page on the last core.

These are the kind of guys we will see in offers

I want the Robert era to be over. Another talented, yet underachieving, injury prone player living off of one great season. I appreciate 2023 Robert. He was fun to watch. But its time to move on and getting a 22 year old Petty who throws heat I would not mind.

Burke was in the 11th percentile in pitching run value. 25th in fastball run value (his best pitch), 4th in off speed run value. Walk rate was in the 15th percentile and barrel rate the 17th. Fastball ranks in the bottom 15% in multiple metrics available (stuff+, value added). After the first time through the order, the league had an 813 ops and he had a 4.81 era. Compare that to the first time through where Burke allows a 737 ops with a 3.4 era. Worst though, his first time through he struck out 66 guys in 252 batters faced. The second+ time, he only struck out 67 guys in 344 batters faced. That was with some good batted ball luck too the second time through which is pretty crazy to think about. Burke stinks. I hate breaking seasons up and finding good periods. It exists with every pitcher in the game. You are the culmination of your stuff throughout a season. His stuff stinks, and he stinks. When I use that word I mean relative to the rest of the actual mlb starters.

I gotta go with the boys from Rockford

Rob Refsnyder to Mariners $6.25-6.5 million (incentives) big salary jump

I remember the Sox were interested in Petty awhile ago, but he was bad in AAA. He’s still young, but his prospect shine can’t be what it once was.

Petty couldn’t have been worse last year. I would hate it if he was the key part coming back.

I believe the Sox want the Luis Robert era over unfortunately. Which is fine because he can't stay on the field. Sox will miss him defensively, but not much offensively. Petty and a draft pick would be awesome to get.

Get er done Getz! I remember they liked Petty alot coming out of the draft too. Get that comp pick and let's get to work.

If they are willing to eat half the salary, the return should be way better than a couple lotto ticket pitchers coming off of Tommy John. If that’s the best offer they’re getting, just keep him.

From the article

The article says the Sox might pick up half his contract.

I feel like the draft pick is more valuable than any one piece any team would give up for him.

No, but if article says they are, that’s different than last offseason

They do have a couple of interesting young Latin OFs that could be interesting.

Is that what you’re hearing?
