This move isn't logical. They are blocking a slot where someone is ready and they didn't get an asset which could have even a minimal future value.

Then sign a fucking bat or 6.

They should have thought about that when the market was better than toxic and uncoachable players, you know, like all winter long. Clevinger also does nothing to change the biggest problem on this team

Nobody is buying tickets because of this.

Like they did right to Pillar?

Like I said, burn this b**** to the ground.

Return on investment? So they can win 61 games instead of 57? It's a trash move by a third rate franchise who keeps shooting themselves in the foot. Again if they really thought he was worth a "Return on investment", they would have looked to bring him back months ago for more than barely over minimum. He obviously wasn't someone they placed a real premium on after seeing him for an entire year.

2023 already happened.

This team is awful. There is no need for this unless you can eventually flip him. With all of the trash players who have no problem getting jobs, there is pretty clearly as reason he is still toxic. A better question is what you get from him on a team with no hope anyway. I mean this is a team that gave $15 million to a guy pitching in Korea sooner than offer decent money to this guy. If the Sox were happy they would have given him a decent offer, yet even seeing him every day for a year they were willing to pay Martin Maldanado, John Brebbia, and Erik Fedde more than Clevinger.

Someone tag Brooks, we've got a winning 2024 slogan!

So this dude is going to cost something like 3-4 minimum salaries as a statistically good SP and NO ONE WANTED HIM. That should tell everyone why no one wanted him at the deadline. He was as close to free as you can pretty much get and still no one was interested.

Those guys weren't toxic.

IF the Sox weren't willing to pick up anything at all.

Bless your heart if you think the Sox are trying to win this year.

I don't care if he is working for free.

The idea that the Sox a free agent away, or even 5 free agents away from decency is laughable. This team is so bad, there isn't a point in spending on it, especially for a guy that literally no one wants. It would have been one thing if we found a flippable guy, but we found one so toxic that no one wanted to trade for him last year, or sign him this year.

Thank you.

A few weeks really. I am sure he was looking for something better, but it is this or nothing.

But enough about Tony LaRussa

Of course they are. Burn this b**** to the ground.

0.

They can't be past 2nd base.

The Sox lost Hawk Harrelson. If that was possible, everything else is easy.

It's a 1 year $4 million deal. Andrew Benitendi's corpse is hanging around 5 years.
