I agree on trying to acquire McKenzie. It’s a no brainer with how many injured starters the Sox have. He’s 27, making just $1.95 million this year, and he’s not eligible for free agency until after 2027.
Also, I think the Sox may still have top waiver priority until the last day of this month, if information at the site below is still accurate, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a team work a trade for him before he gets placed on outright waivers in five days.
