He’s the pitching prospect the Sox got from the Yankees in the Austin Slater trade last year.

🤣Agreed, but I just don’t think Sosa by himself has enough value for a decent starter in a trade.With the Hays signing, does Sosa even have a role/spot now or do you think he will be traded? He is poor defensively at 2B and the Sox seem to want Meidroth as their starting 2B. I thought he could try out LF and alternate with Benintendi there and DH, but you also want Quero getting at bats at DH. The Hays signing and Baldwin complicate the situation even further. What will the Sox do with Sosa? I don’t really want the Sox to trade Quero but trading Sosa seems like a no brainer.Ahhh, I didn’t see where you were going with it. 🤣Eh, it’s literally history under the current owner.Mullins probably would have been a better signing for just $1.5 million more, but it seems like Getz wants Acuna to get a chance at CF.Because we are used to bad vet signings who are on their last leg. These are actually good mid-range signings.If I read the rumor correctly, it sounded like there was a higher rated prospect in the 10-15 range on the Red Sox side and a lesser rated prospect on the White Sox side at the back end of their top 30. I know they need a starter but I have a hard time believing the Sox would take on a bad contract like Hicks’ for a prospect but wouldn’t eat any of Roberts’ salary to improve the return. In any case, this Hicks trade didn’t happen.I read that the Red Sox were including a pitching prospect in the 10-15 range. The White Sox were taking on a bad contract that Boston wants to dump and including a top 30 pitching prospect a well.To be fair, the Sox were 3.5 games behind the Indians at the time. 🤣The Red Sox would have more than likely included a decent amount of cash in that trade. I doubt the White Sox were taking on Hicks’ full contract — $12 million in 2026 and $12 million in 2027. Otherwise, who would want him?I would be surprised if they eat the remainder of his contract. Hopefully they just stick him at DH but yeah, that messes up Quero’s at bats.Real SoxTalk posters drive Jeeps on the south side.What do you mean, if they keep Benintendi? Where is he going?I believe there’s around $5 million left of the money freed up by trading Robert for Acuna. That trade freed up around $19 million. Seranthony took $8 million of it for this season and Hays will be $6 million of it at a minimum. Not much money left for a solid starter.
