they said its a tough angle? High spin rate. https://mobile.twitter.com/NathanRode/status/1548846586498727937

I love the high upside targets. No idea, but the release of the hounds onto high school prospects is great. Not necessarily to take them, but to be open to them. I guess this guy will be hard to sign though

Dean Wormer’s grandson posts on Soxtalk. Sonofa….

Lets build a long term sustainable talent pipeline complete with smart planners guiding the way so we do not have to think about Juan Sotos. Crazy, but it might work.

To be fair, I doubt he thought that. These were the 2 guys he thought he could foist on Sox fans and get by.

No home runs, NO SOUP FOR US!

I don't have numbers, but it seems like homers are the story recently.

Playing with fire on Kopech, overcompensation injury is possible

He admitted today he was just trying to manifest an outcome. Not based on anything apparently.

Safe to assume hiring Tony LaRussa was not on Hahn's bucket list.

Oh my. The DH scrub lineup is on the back burner suddenly. But one guy with sore legs in for other one.

TONY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING????

What about Hang Tony? If that's good enough for DC, it's good enough for us.

McEwing will just anger the team with his love of filet steaks

I think he's a wannabe chef

Moncada makes 17 million in '23, 25 million in '24

Joe Cowley commented on WSCR before game 1 was done: 'People don't understand what a circus that organization really is'.

This model hasn't been copied around the league because it makes no sense to fill out the payroll with unproven players when they could be on rookie deals while paying for veteran production. If anything, the Soxshould operate like the Rays.

we can still win the lotto.

great time to play the gimp lineup next I suppose.

We can’t afford a punt lineup. So we shall have one.

So you’re saying there’s a chance….

An interesting opportunity to wonder what they would actually pay a player, and for whom. I tend to believe the Sox poison-pilled their own offer to Machado. And were never intending to put themselves in position to win for Bryce Harper at market value. 400 million ffs gtfoh. This is the franchise Kenny Williams once said way back in the day would never pay a player more than 10 million a year. Kenny has had to let reality hit him in the face since. But that attitude still prevails. Prior to this rebuild, I had wondered if the Sox would ever build around young high upside type talent because they would never pay market value when it came time to. They have been working around that with their early offer technique in order to avoid the market. (which interestingly has not been copied around the league as SM suggests). But if the Sox ever have to play on that stage for real, I would expect a trade or a weird losing offer before they actually paid up. Gonna be interesing.

I don't know what would scare me more, if Giolito asks for a huge deal, or asks for a medium affordable deal.
