fathom

Nope, I think the angst is due to more teams being rumored about possible bats the Sox could theoretically want (yet haven’t been linked once to)

It’s hard to imagine him being traded before Kenley signs

I will be stunned if they don’t trade him in the next few weeks.

Was just thinking that...sucks to see

Phillies, Cubs, Bos, NYY, Miami for starters

No one wanted him last year

DH?

I’ve been pretty optimistic this offseason but the true difference maker last year was Rodon being an ace. Once he lost that ability, the team’s playoff chances diminished greatly.

Good players listed, problem is other teams exist that have good young players and also pay for veteran stars

The gap between the Sox and other teams has closed instead of gotten larger. Take the Mariners for example.

Thoughts? Suzuki-SD, Castellanos-Phil, Bryant-Col, Schwarber-?, Conforto-? Rangers, Cubs, Dodgers, Indians, Tigers involved maybe?

Nope

Reds and Pirates might combine for 100 wins

Crap, that’s a fantastic addition for Seattle

cough Joc cough

Nothing to believe the Sox have interest in Bryant

Yep, too many instances of poor FA evaluations and misjudging the market. Funny thing is that for as much as we want them to sign someone, in three months we will be counting down the years on the deal.

Bet you that has no impact on it

Problem is Seattle is then likely going after another bat, which hurts the Sox chances

I don’t like where it’s headed

Oh dear god no

Add to that the likely possibility they’re struggling to make an impact trade because of how bad the system was last year.

I think we need Kenley to decide before Kimbrel gets moved, but of course it’s possible Kenley has to wait until Freeman picks a team.

He flat out doesn’t want to be here in this role. Fegan’s article about it basically said neither him or the Sox in public or private thinks it’s a good fit.

Freeman and Correa possibly deciding should open the floodgates
