Don’t forget they tried to extend him last year. Eloy and his agent aren’t dumb.

It does seem like the Sox have paid double what everyone else has had to pay for players this offseason. The “we suck” tax is alive and well.

So if this is true, what does the optioning to AAA mean? Can they just promote him tomorrow?

Yeah this seems far too much. I wonder if there are some additional option years included?

3 errors in an inning for Anderson

Anything would be better than letting him go and getting literally nothing in return. I still have no idea why they let him go this offseason if they weren't going to legitimately go after Bryce.

I don't disagree, but they haven't acquired a single valuable asset over the last two offseasons. Not getting anything for Abreu or Avi two offseasons ago still stings.

Sometimes I wonder what the hell has happened to the training staff over the last year. Never seen so many strange occurrences.

First thing I thought of was it’s a depth move for when they trade Jace or Bummer

I heard they were all set to take Stroman, but Hawkins unexpectedly fell to them

So why shouldn’t we be pissed if we get duped every year?

The fact there haven’t been serious calls for Hahn to be fired and put into the worst GM of all time Hall of Shame illustrates how little the fan base cares anymore.

Would love to know how Hahn thought Nova would translate well to the Sox and the AL? Just an amazing offseason he had.

Nova is going to get killed in the AL

Great swing with 2 strikes, he killed that ball

Biggest thing is he just needs to protect with 2 strikes. With his speed and the shift teams put on him, all he has to do is chop it to the left side and he can walk to first base. No reason he can't get 10-15 hits this way during a season.

Yoan looked much better at the plate. Protected on a pitch he definitely would have taken last year for called 3rd.

Yoan's done well at 3b so far

FTFY

Cooper fixed a few pitchers like 6 years ago. How dare you question if he can make the adjustments necessary to the new home run era of baseball!

Abreu still is a disgrace defensively. Besides that, Giolito's mechanics don't look good. Falling off the mound to his left a lot again, causing him to pull the ball glove side.

Velocity or not, hitters still seem to get a great look at his fastball.

Lopez pitching well today. Racking up the strikeouts

Vaughn not doing much to help the perception that he struggles against top pitching this weekend. Also, Lodolo has put together two fantastic starts in a row.
