    In this day and age that speed may well play anyway if the Sox were creative enough to use him as a pinchrunner/D specialist.

    I’m trying to figure out what has changed the last couple weeks where the Sox seem now committed to Nastrini taking his lumps. Why weren’t they last week? Will they still be if he has another start like the last 2? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

    It's all part of the plan.

    Nothing would surprise me but Chris Getz has spoken behind the scenes and publicly about changing their international strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved on. Either way, most players are already committed for 2025, 2026 and 2027. 

    He has the same title as Jim Thome 

    I have never been able to figure out why the international strategy was what it was.  Does Jerry have the aversion to negotiating with 13-14 year olds or does Jerry?

    Had to double check that that was Ellis' 26th stolen bag, not the team's. 

    Can't wait to see it shrink to like, 5, if he makes the majors.

    I would be shocked if he hits enough to steal 26 at the major league level.

    Remember during the offseason when some posters respected Getz’s sound strategy of signing cheap vets to give the prospects more prep time in the minors?  Yeah, that was pretty much bullshit.  Getz is simply calling up anyone and everyone this season, regardless of performance, readiness, etc.  🤣

    Except Colas.  f*** that guy.

    Under what scenario would you consider offering Crochet and/or Kopech extensions?

    We don't even know if Crochet is a good SP yet. He has been excellent in May, but he also came out of 7 March/April starts with an ERA of 5.97.

    I think you at least need to ride out this year and see 1.) How he performs and 2.) Is he healthy? before you start kicking the tires on an extension.

    I mean would any of us be surprised if his arm fell off tomorrow?  I think we are around a 4th or 5th standard deviation expectation for what he has given us so far as compared to his injury history.  Call me what you like, but I am not sure I would be willing to bet on it continuing, let alone continuing for 4.5 more years.

    Sox Calling Up DeLoach

    Deloach has had over 1500 plate appearances between AA and AAA. Colas has only had about 650. Maybe that has something to do with it

    Which why the Sox called up Ramos instead of Sosa.   Makes sense.

    I get it, the trade off is 4 years of control. Maybe you could sweeten the buyout if you want to defer a bit more or offer a 5th year. Too bad so much of our payroll is tied up in bums.

    Payroll falls hard after this year assuming Yoan and ILoy buyouts, they only have like $50 promised to 2025.  They COULD do it.  The other half is that covers years where we have about zero chance at contention, and is it worth it?  Like I said before, it is a tough exercise to match the two camps based on their own interests.

    I'd offer Garrett 3 years 55 million with a club option for a 4th at 25 million right now. He gets security and Sox get an asset with surplus value if he stays healthy. If he doesn't, well it's only 3 year 55 million and the buyout.

    Kopech just sell high at the deadline or sooner. No reason to play with fire there.

    If his buy out free agency price right now is about $25 million, that means the two arb years he'd be getting about $30 million for, once you subtract that year away from his two remaining years.  I think Garrett probably takes it, but the Sox are losing a LOT of money in the next two years to do it, as we are probably talking of salaries adding to around $10-15 million if you went year to year in arb.  Unless you think he is a $30 to $35 million pitcher right now on the open market that is a superfriendly player deal.
