We’ll see. I wouldn’t bet a dollar of my own money on it happening and I think you would be foolish to do so as well.

lol wut

This whole process seems even more intriguing to me this year since those who are protected cannot play in the minors during a lockout, correct?

"I leave no stone unturned my friend"

You have been a whiny b**** on this site for far too long

If Getz gets an offer to good to turn down, then yes.

He was awesome In Birmingham last year after his first couple of appearances (1.16 ERA over his last 16 innings). He’s legit a guy who could get snagged if not protected. I’m not sure they have the 40 man room to do so, but they will be considering it.

You don’t trade Colson for pitching prospects. Like what are we even talking about here. If you move him right now, it’s for a major league SP.

I mean, the Sox are getting one of Peralta or King, but keep doing China’s dirty work by being a troll bot.

Well I guess they have to follow the pitcher's wishes like with Sale and Crochet. The problem comes when Hagen Smith's agent points out starter salaries vs. high leverage reliever outcomes, too. It's also not like Taylor hasn't suffered through significant health issues already. He also has a fairly max effort delivery...without as much leg drive as other elite velo guys.

I agree but he does have a true weapon

Wasn't Uncle Sato in the Karate Kid 2 ?

Damn, East St. Louis I know back in the day was unbeatable. Not sure Rice can play with those guys. And the potential final very difficult with a young QB.

We are aware there is risk involved as there is in every player you sign and multiple reason for doing it. Most of the pitchers in free agency have age, durability or injury risks. What are you going to do? Punting is the other sport.

LaCombe is 100% not getting picked.

Mahle or Holmes plus tier below Skubal guys Peralta, Gray, King, Trevor Rogers Nick Martinez, maybe Mize. No idea if Woodruff can actually still be a starting pitcher but might be worth a flyer depending on who else wants him. I Guess Michael Soroka belongs here too. Probably forgetting someone since I had to add Rogers , Soroka and Woodruff since I 1st posted this. Also Kay, Cannon, Hudson, Bart, Chris Murphy, Acuna, Graham Pauley are all out of minor league options and a few will likely be non tendered around the November 20th deadline Most likely Bart because he's owed too much and Murphy. Maybe Leasure too but he still has an option but is projected to make $1M while he recovers from TJS. So dates to look at. Nov 20th to see who the Sox and other non tenders are. Dec. 1st. Kaira signing deadline and Dec. 2nd, lockout day. Between Taylor, Fedde, Trevor Richards and Newcomb that's 250ish innings and 4 multi innings relief guys lost from the BP. So Getz has his work cut out for him and said the BP is 3rd or 4th on his To-Do list.

You quoted me before I edited it where I said his FIP was good and he had a velo jump of 1.5 in 2026. You didn't have to point out his downside to me because I already did that "or an injury filled year" as the alternative to hitting a sweet spot of improvement. Also I'm well aware he doesn't hit 100 MPH any more. He's had too many arm injuries for that and considering what else he's gone through it's surprising he even came back and had 2 straight decent years. And also yes for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction so I guess you the yang to my yin.

Sox will never get anywhere if they give up on guys like Colson at this point. He can defend and he can hit homers. If he improves contact, he's elite. As is, he was 2.8 fWAR. Yea it may be fluffed a bit. It's still pretty good, despite a big flaw. A lot; probably the Yankees don't have what we need or won't trade it. Lombard won't cut it.

Getz first trade for a starting pitcher sucked. Just spend some fucking money for once. Get at least 2 starters in free agency. I would love King. Plus add a 2nd veteran starter like Gausman or Holmes.....2 year deals for either of those guys should absolutely be doable.

They make that Bonemer trade and they're all the way back to the 22nd-25th farm system in mlb again... Meawhile DET CLE MIN all Top 10

His slider is a carrying tool.

Sunglasses...

I would trade Carlson in a second. He’s completely replaceable. Trade him before teams realize he has the pop of Madrigal. But with free agent prices like this, I would see if Schultz can improve and I wouldn’t consider trading Bonemer at all due to his power potential. That would be worse than giving up on the power potential of a guy like Boston Smith for an expensive old bum starter.

and that could be underestimating by 5-10% based on the Bauers expectations being in the low $50s
