That seems like a terrible deal for the A’s. The more deals that are signed, the better the Clevinger deal looks.

Yankees and Astros have been linked to him

So I would then also assume in true Sox fashion all three outfielders won’t stay healthy all year and then will get 10-20 more homers from their bench. A quick search by me confirms 50 from the starting 3 would be at least average, if not more. Team like the Guardians, Red Sox and Tigers got an embarrassing low total from their outfielders.

I assume you’re looking at outfield totals and not starting LF/CF/RF

No reason to think those three couldn’t combine for 50 homers. You would think that would be average around the majors.

How is Jansen mediocre? Huge power last year. 15 homers in 248 at bats last year makes him look like Mike Piazza on the Sox.

An outfield of Benintendi, Robert and Colas should be sufficient power wise. Not great, but good enough.

Sox also need lefty hitters that can get on base against tough RHP. I’m not as concerned about getting power from LF.

Yep, makes sense. I’m surprised at how much value people think Hendriks has.

4/68 my guess

His power wasn’t awful until last year. He would be hitting at a much smaller park (KC to CWS). He was always the guy that you had to wonder if the Sox would go after, as they LOVED him in the draft and the Grifol connection.

IF it is Benintendi, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we then see Hendriks dealt. I know people hate it, but I think there is truth to the Jays rumor.

He said yesterday it wasn’t going to be him.

That account isn’t good. They said Sox were interested in Senga and Justin Turner.

It’s almost as if taking maxed out college players is a bad strategy

Just seeing all these names is pathetic.

Hahn still having his job is comical

6/162 to Yankees. Better than going to Twins.

It wouldn’t be bad, in all honesty. Peralta would have easily been one of their better hitters vs RHP. His throwing arm does suck though and he was bad on D last year.

Fwiw, he didn’t mention anything tonight in his rekap

Won’t be JBJ. In order, likelihood IMO is Gallo, Brantley……Conforto.

He’s going to get more years/average salary than the range the Sox are looking at. Never thought he was much of an option. It’s very obvious to me that Kaplan thought it was Gallo.

I don’t disagree, but I think it’s very possible the Sox have lost faith in Grandal and want to move on from him.

I think people are underestimating how strong Jansen’s trade value is

Yes, I also fear how bad his throwing might be now
