What other options are there outside of Grichuk and Robert to be a platoon bat against LHP? We will certainly need one for next year. Grichuk will likely look for a starting spot. I am assuming they keep Bonemer down in the minors for a bit to "check all the boxes". The Guardians might not want to offer Adell ~9 million, but again I assume he would want to start. He would be a solid option. Do they go with Doyle until Bonemer comes up?

Bulls team is absolutely terrible. As bad as first five quarters as you can possibly have.

This is also year two of “don’t count the tough schedule chickens before they hatch”

I think we should stick with players who love baseball.

I doubt Bonemer sticks to CF, I feel this is to give him as much OF experience as possible before figuring out which corner OF spot he is best suited for. Either way if he can be a viable LF, RF option while subbing in occasionally at 3B and even SS that is a huge win for figuring out where he can play. I hope they don't go this route, but if they don't extend Mune and are cheap in FA again you could have a DH rotation open up in 2028.

Luis Robert will have much better options available to him than returning to the Sox to be a platoon bat against LHP. I would imagine he wont have a hard time finding a full time gig somewhere.

Not as good a class as last offseason. Spend all the money on starting pitching regardless, there are enough guys in there to hold down a rotation.

More like Caleb BOMBener.

She is a tough listen man. Knows everything and tells you all the time

Mike Trout? Good god.

Made the mistake of putting on the Score when I went to get food at lunch. Rahimi is just so bad.

Trout is a bit much as a CF comparison, but Bonemer is a really good athlete who I think will be able to play a passable CF and good corners. When I saw him live a year ago he was obviously athletic enough, moved like a strong safety and built like it too.

No reason they can't grab a starter from the top 25 of that list and one from the bottom 25. Would love to see them get King but that's probably a pipe dream. Maybe Holmes and Griffin?

Jarrett is a nice guy but I want Mully back.

I have been making the Trout comparison for a while based on body type and strength. Obviously, Bonemer is a borderline 50/60 runner. At that age Trout was borderline 70/80, so I would never dare to say they have similar ceilings.

If we are talking about something in the 3 to 5 million range for a year, sure.

Is it ridiculous that I am seeing Robert as a good option for us? In my heart I hate it, but on paper it does make sense. - Historically a good bat vs LHP that can replace Grichuk - Likely will settle for a cheap 1 year deal to rebuild value Obviously I expect him to hit the IL multiple times throughout 2027, but he likely won't require a long term commitment and will give Bonemer more time to develop before they call him up. Would 1 year, 5 million with incentives get it done? Vs RHP: Antonacci, Peters, Braden (Benny DH) Vs LHP: Robert, Peters/Doyle, Braden (he needs reps vs LHP), (Antonacci DH)

They really liked Hayden Large in the preseason but he was placed on IR on 9/1 Due to a core injury, I wonder if he has a window to come back

That is a huge, underrated loss. That rookie TE needs to step up now.

Richard Riehle as well.

Yes, Turner Field. I remember little. The parking lot was on the old stadium's footprint. They left the outfield wall. Was not digging the tomahawk chop.

Hopefully we can get some nice W’s gifted to us on Thanksgiving and Christmas days this year.

The one thing they haven't been able to do is win in the division so far this year, and that HAS to change if they want to move on.
