Kela is rumored to be a clubhouse cancer. If Sox are interested, wonder if they make it a bigger trade and target Adam Frazier also.

Iglesias the SS, not closer

Iglesias, Hudson and Cishek would be a solid, unspectacular end to the offseason. My dream trade is McCann and a higher prospect like Adolfo to Houston for James.

And yet, they signed EE to be DH and Collins has no role. Maybe it’s as simple as the Sox don’t think his approach/swing will work at this level.

Jose Iglesias....all the cubans!

I believe this entirely post is accurate

Boers sounded healthier than he has in a decade. And yes, sports radio has been great this week.

Mazara hit into 5 DP last year. Timmy hit into 12, so probably need to PH for him.

Disagree, he’s been dead on with his predictions this offseason. He mentioned he talks to Jerry on occasion about the team. He all but stated prior to the signing broke yesterday why the team went with EE over Castellanos.

He actually said last night it will be smaller moves compared to what’s been made. Also he has said there’s no chance in hell of Arenado. He has implied Sox inquired about Betts, but no deal would happen without an extension and Betts won’t do that.

JDM has no place on this roster

Stoney has gone out of his way today to say Puig isn’t likely

I actually buy the Nick/Cubs rumor. Giants don’t seem confident they get him and Reds are looking elsewhere. Might be a Rangers/Cubs battle?

Castellanos would be the icing on the cake for me. Him or JDM were my priorities heading into the year.

Marlins already tried to trade for Mazara though

Sox have always had a man-crush on Puig since they saw him in Dodgers Spring Training

Been thinking the same as you in terms of Mazara and Collins being packaged. Maybe the Marlins would be interested.

FWIW the Reds clubhouse supposedly loved him

Reason why this might be false....Stoney seemed against Puig

Or like some of us said at the time, it was just too good of a deal to turn down. Some media member also recently said Sox soured on Steele.

My concern with Puig is how does he handle not playing more than 2-3 times a week

Some notes from Sox insider Steve Stone, on the emergency podcast with Chuck: - thinks Sox get a reliever and possibly another RF to platoon with Nomar, but not as significant as some of the recent acquisitions - doesn’t think the Sox were ever necessarily in on Castellanos - high praise for Mendick, as well as Leury

Amazing post! It’s so true though, hopefully gone are the days of AAAA players. It was ridiculous how little power the team hit for last year.

Yep as well as depth for Robert in case of injury or lack of extension

Not happening....Stoney is the team spokesperson now. He’s basically spoiled 3 of the past moves now. Will be interesting what he says might happen next. I believe he mentioned Pillar weeks ago.
