Heyman today on the Big Time Baseball Podcast didn’t list the Sox as a contender for Bauer or Springer. Springer was Mets, Phillies, Red Sox and Jays.

Also feels like this deal makes it far less likely the Sox are able to fill all their holes via free agency (on below market deals).

I think people need to start getting comfortable that some of their favorite prospects won’t be around come next year

Or an indication they will trade for pitching if mediocre guys are getting this much

I thought they meant extending Giolito to a similar deal

Not specifically talking about any of these “burner accounts”, but some of these are naming every single free agent as a player Sox might have interest in. Q of course if a favorite of ours, but I think I would rather take a chance on Minor than him.

Sox reportedly not one of the teams interested in Odorizzi. That makes me happy, as I don’t think he’d be a good fit. Also, if Bauer goes to the Angels, I think Yu to the Mets makes a ton of sense.

Watching him last two years, I would take him. He’s craft enough to where he can be effective even if velocity drops a bit. I don’t think for a second the Cubs would have interest in Madrigal being a main piece.

That was a fun article to read. Dahlquist with the most exciting write-up. With that said, can’t wait to see people say “they traded a future no 2 starter” if he’s traded this offseason.

Because they can spend on RF and use Madrigal in a trade to get some pitching

They probably should have done some research on Grandal if they were going to be so bothered by him playing to his reputation

Should fire the GM then if that’s how he feels

Sure, if they trade Vaughn. Unlikely but for the right person like Snell, it’s the best way to go all in for next year.

Who knows if Springer comes to the Sox, but I think there is no way he goes to Atlanta.

But why would Springer’s agent agree to anything until hearing from Mets

I stand with Julie Dicaro!!!!

Based off of what Abreu said today, Tony is going nowhere. I’ve moved on from hoping he quits to now just following offseason transactions.

Mets don’t even have a GM yet. No significant free agents should even consider signing until they know what the Mets might offer.

I would absolutely love that offseason. Honestly probably the dream one for me. Brewers would want more than that though.

“I really can’t say much about it” - how sad is it that this is what the Sox players will have to say for the next month https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/white-sox/mvp-jose-abreu-praises-rick-renteria-excited-play-tony-la-russa

Seems like it’s full speed ahead with Tony as the manager, as he’s called some players and also with the Katz hiring.

I was worried he died there for a second. He’s very emotional

Ron!!

Sox also loved him in the draft
