You know the answer to this. The Sox have one of the worst owners in the MLB (probably THE worst), who won’t spend much money in free agency (largest contract is 5/$75M), and who promotes all of his most loyal and trusted employees to positions that they are not qualified for. He also won’t spend much money in the international market and pays more people to sell tickets than to perform scouting.

Yes, apparently you can.

Okay, make that Lee.

Time for Vaughn to be the hero.

It doesn’t happen very often but it can. But even if Lopez would accept 20% less than his salary this year for next year, I wouldn’t even offer him that. 🤣 https://www.mlb.com/glossary/transactions/salary-arbitration

There is no doubt Lopez will be non-tendered. Do you think he deserves a raise from $4.3 million? Hell no.

Very strange acquisition. Getz passed on acquiring younger and better players in Bart and Robles but signs Senzel? Why?

That’s sad. Maybe all of them will be busts and the Sox pick will reign supreme?

But that’s still just a good fourth outfielder. They need to acquire a real starting corner outfielder eventually.

Yep, just like how they aren’t supposed to practice all summer either. It’s completely optional. 🤣

Who cares about the shutout record when you can set the most embarrassing MLB record of all time?

I think the sad fact is that the Sox can’t (won’t) win spending money and they can’t win by rebuilding. It will probably just be years of mediocrity until they get lucky like 2005 and everything clicks.

I’m sure he’ll be okay. Dude gets $5 million just to go away and become a free agent.

That would definitely be the best move for his career. Just look at the past 10+ years of Sox managers. The Sox are their last stop in the MLB.

That sounds like they were given the directive to preemptively cushion the blow of what will be yet another dumpster diving offseason.

None, you can already assume that.

Agreed. Less punishment for Sox fans.

Is that a… SHUTOUT?

Brebbia for $5.5 million. Another stellar Getz acquisition.

Pinch hits Sheets and he strikes out in 4 pitches.

Of all of Getz’s lineup acquisitions, who is the worst? Nicky Lopez Miguel Vargas Dominic Fletcher Corey Julks Vargas has 5 hits in 57 plate appearances in a Sox uniform. ?

Wilson is arbitration eligible through the 2027 season. However, he is only signed through this year at $752K. The Sox could choose to non-tender him a contract after this season, which would make him a free agent, but that is unlikely. Wilson is a free agent in 2028.

Getz needed to take away his toy.
