But for budgetary purposes it’s the same group right. They took 5 mill from shareholders this year for an additional 5 next year? It’s a weird trick so it does matter where the Sox “feel” the money was spent. Now that 5 mill comes pretty close to the money saved on the Castillo buyout and Jones contract. Perhaps that is where Hahn did a “look you all expected this amount gone already, let’s put the money toward Abreu this year and have more money on next” But the questions that arise for me is how low is the projected budget for next year that he felt the need to do that?

we just saw two of the most expensive rotations in baseball squaring off in the World Series but yes spending on pitching is a terrible idea.

Adam Engel as a 4th OFer platooned vs lefties and at a few mill is >>> Kevin pillar at 7.5 mill a year

Yes. I’m surprised that a fake tweet put him at that number.

I never really bought that this was sox related.

He also seemed to try to catch on to the high four seamer revolution last year, may have backfired on him. I figured coop would let him be a sinker pitcher and we’d squeeze a 4.2-4.5 era pitcher out of him again.

We went to BHB in Berwyn once. One of the more terrible restaurant experiences I’ve had.

Man that would be crazy for Porcello. I was hoping to get him on a bounce back 1 yr deal

So it appears this was another Wednesday bust huh

He is not as bad as Eloy.

Also I have watched either the bears or Mizzou most of my life. There is no surer sign the defense is about to get torched than when a backup QBs comes in. It’s like clockwork.

I haven’t watched a bears game in weeks because I realized football is the worst sport. Sitting down today...yeah football is garbage.

It’s quoting Morosi. I hope they show interest. He’s a hell of a pitcher. It was be a stratospheric move for this franchise.

Padres should give him a look.

Boylen has to go. But this part 1 of the rebuild was a failure. God - please just give us two years of Jerry West?

Was he disappointed at 6/140?I thought that was considered a coup on him getting the sixth year since people were laughing at Cashman.

I don't think that was his point. Just that at what level of paying wheeler would you rather just pay more for strasburg.

So what people would do then is just not sh*tpost.

I both agree with this but also this is just the price of pitching.

Same AAV as herrerra.

Whew, I had not really followed him last year. I loved him out of high school (because he would always end up drafted by me in OOTP) but seemed like he wasn't doing much his first few years. His AAA numbers are insane.

Man check out the stats against his slider .152 BAA / .265 Slugging, 47% Whiff

I think sox were definitely going to add 2 sp this offseason due to the innings limits on kopech and wanting to avoid a situation like this year where they straight up ran out of pitchers. I still don't think this is sox (could be brewers) but getting a cheap with upside pitcher and 2 years control is possible.

5.7 mill projected in arb is pretty nice.

Feinsand is an mlb writer, I'm 100% confident it's just promoting colleagues work.
