They have to move pieces no matter what as they have too many starters and outfielders and need another infielder and reliever.

You'll be shocked to know I'm having problems with a tweet, but Craig Mish (great Marlins insider) said on the radio that everything he's hearing is Harper to the Dodgers.

Just share it

I know this is common perception, but I also think they might be trying to clear up their glut of outfielders and free up money for a set-up man and LeMahieu

And Rick should have been fired after 2016. Both organizations have been a joke the last 5 years or so with more bad news being made off the field than good news on the field.

Yeah right....Rick and Gar ever being on the hot seat

Would also be pissed that they let go of Avi if they just give his at bats to Delmonico

Not saying you’re wrong, but this will kill the fan base.

Thing is, Grandal and Brantley is probably going to help win you more games than Harper and Omar would have.

Drafting has been subpar, IMO. The approach of taking polished college players has not provided the quick benefits that were expected (injuries have been crushing)

If they get a top 5 pick again with a lot of the core rebuild guys up on the big league squad, the rebuild is screwed

Yep go find a way to get Suarez and Haniger then by using all the payroll the Sox have to take on bad contracts and prospects.

-25 DRS last year

He can’t play CF defensively anymore.

Basically if next major tweet is positive, everyone will say Bob was wrong. If next tweet is pessimistic, people will argue that Bob was right this time.

We all knew the Nightengale cold water tweet was coming. This is less worrisome than expected, as at least there was no talk about year limit or opt-outs.

I know it’s still early, but I do find it interesting the Sox haven’t been linked to any infielders besides Manny yet. Hahn has kind of given it away that they will have a new infielder next season (Yoan position question)

Yes they can absolutely win without them. Sorry, didn’t see that specific question. I don’t think their prospects are good enough to compete down the road without some upper-tier players brought in to compliment them.

Phillies or Yankees

Hahn has even said they’re going to have to acquire a premium 3B the next few years.

Sounds like type of guy who has his own picture as his avatar

I’ve been consistent the last two offseasons. Goal is to find a few core guys that will be on the team when they’re trying to contend 2020-2022. It’s why I wanted Yelich and JDM last offseason. I would hate to see resources spent on someone like Brantley.

Then use that money to take on bad contracts to get core players (ie: Bailey and Suarez)

I think Zobrist and Chatwood are the guys they try to get rid of (using prospects to move Chatwood).

I find him entertaining actually. Their interview with Brian Anderson a few years ago was incredible.
