That's a fair deal imo, high AAV but years not too bad.

I mean if it was OOTP I'd have shipped out Jose and made Gavin the full time DH but it's not so I'd prefer to keep him around in case Jose misses a few months.

Right, 600 PA against...200. Come on now bub.

Nothing is fucking happening man. This is like the hot stove if you left preheat on and fell asleep before you got the dish in.

I've seen nothing to indicate Sheets can play OF at anything other than at a -15 run (so ~ -1.5 wins) or so level over 130 or so games. Vaughn is a different beast. Vaughn isn't fast but he gets good reads and has a natural OF's ability to judge the ball that is curving away from him. Vaughn can be a league average LF. We need an everyday RF. It's not Engel and it's not Gavin.

how come we're not in on this Suzuki cat?

Sounds pretty nasty. Almost as bad as ruptured patella. On a personal note now 6 years since my ruptures, just did a 20 mile bike ride this weekend and thirty reps 225lbs on the squat rack, god bless you rehab and medical folks!

That's good, now sign a RF and move up to 85%.

His neck is massive, jesus, probably 5 lbs muscle, 10 fat, which hey, who cares, he's a pitcher not a marathon runner.

Wow he's gone full Gio on that delivery.

this thread says "action", make the new one without action, maybe we'll see some action.

He's Ruth at NYS. He's merely mortal on the road. Of course he'd have a similar advantage out to LF in Chicago.

Who would? Both those guys are glass.

Just get rid of it at this point. Covid ripped through the US, at this point 85% of people either have recent antibodies or the vax and boosters. Even Seattle ended it.

That's why it's even more frustrating imo. The hard work is done, the no brainer work is signing a 3 WAR RF and calling it an offseason. It's like you've got a beautiful new car but because you don't want to wash the road salt off it once a week at the $12 wash place the undercarriage is already rusting. Penny smart pound foolish.

FML.

I'm not quite where ray is but the fact that the Sox have such great depth already with Burger, Dickman and Leury makes the move for Harrison even stranger. You spent 5.5 million for what? To get a .5 WAR upgrade in theory on the guys you already had? It's not like this is an Emilio Bonfacio -2 WAR situation where you have a smoking crater you need to backfill with whatever scrap you can dig up.

Hernandez was a bad body language guy for sure. Harrison is a decent depth move and a stars and scrubs approach is fine, just sign another star for RF please.

I'm fine with the Harrison signing if RF is significantly upgraded. As to this point, it has not been.

STFU Tuesday.

Takes away any upside value on the contract but frankly if the Sox' scouting is confident he'll perform, just give it to him, who cares about two years from now if he's a FA.

Eh, I think it's just Hahn doing what he always does. I don't really think "negotiating in public" is something that moves the needle.

The bullpen "mess" will sort itself out. Get another starter.

damn i feel like that would have been something that both the players and owners would have changed, NBA style where you can buyout someone and take less of a cap hit.

What if they just bought out Kimbrel? Does some of that get written off?
