I will be honest, I wouldn't throw nine figures at Judge or Stanton.

If Kenny was really still involved, we would have seen a swing for the fences type of trade made a long time ago. He would have gone out and gotten a #1 pitcher or a star OF, or something like that. Love him or hate him, but the dude swung for the fences when he thought he could win. At these moments, I kinda miss Kenny's style.

Reading this strikes me as a kind of inkblot test. Every Sox fan can read this and find exactly what they want to believe in it.

Probably still better than Eaton.

We already know that Kelly isn't supposed to break camp.

It is now. But they also have to be looking at what happens if Robert gets hurt, or Eloy gets hurt, or Leury gets hurt, or Anderson gets hurt... maybe even at the same time, etc.

It means they like his bat enough that giving him ways to get into games is enough of a priority that they are wiling to suffer through that again. They are also probably planning for the inevitable injuries of other guys and want to have options.

The question would be is he better then Mendick and/or Romy. Not sure I know that answer TBH. I feel pretty good about saying he is better than Mendick, Gonzalez, not sure.

A lot of signing Harrison is clouded by what the Sox haven't done yet.

Nope.

He's not on the daily beat. He hasn't been in a locker room forever.

Scott Merkin knows that being in the teams good graces is worth more than his personal opinion on the matter. It is the case with pretty much all of the Chicago sports media currently on day to day assignments with teams.

If the story about the Mets being out there at 1/30 is true, he would take that first, unless he knows something about his body that the rest of us do not.

If it happens, that is the steal of the offseason IMO.

This makes me more nervous than anything else so far this off season. When the Sox hand-picked media starts pointing out how high payroll is, that probably isn't a good sign.
