True, we like to aim for the middle, and act on neither option. Sadly, you may be right.

Because the only other FA player of signifigance after '23 is Yasmani, and rest assured, there is no one taking that contract right now. Folks are acting like they've forgotten 40+ years of behavior from current ownership. The status quo isn't going to magically change in 2023/2024.

Good point. Ownership has proven time and again, they are willing to sign home grown pitchers to long term, costly contracts.

Most of us aren't hating on Gio because of his performance, I think most of us are realistic enough to know he is gone after 2023 either way. So, why not make a move that makes sense for the team, more long term.

Boy, the Adam Engel experiment may FINALLY come to a close. The organization has been stuck on him for too long, with him never able to prove he can stay healthy.

I can't wait to see Jason Heyward in RF for us in 2023.

OH Boy, I can already see a typical Sox move coming: signing Heyward as the lefty right fielder. I can even imagine how Hahn would spin it.... ”In Jason, we get one of the premier bats in the game, at a fraction of his 22 million dollar worth.”

You mean the organization who has had 10 managers in 30 years, only 1 of which finished with a winning record overall (by 9 games no less)? We definitely should be concerned that they didn't want Grifol, they've been great at picking managers.

Not sure how you make this interesting, Graveman, and yet........here we are...

And with today's results, Yoan has officially passed the 'Mendoza Alert' award to Grandal.

Everyone out here having a nice day at the plate....... and then there is AJ Pollock...

A season's worth of power outage frustration coming in one game?

Cleveland arriving at their stadium today, with the task at hand:

What an offensive effort today. Bravo!

This is a Velasquez/Ruiz/Kelly game, I'm afraid.

Yeah, Dylan isn't long for this game, the control isn't there.

Jeebus, is he bad right now.

Rough game for Cueto, it happens.

Cueto looked at the Sox run output in the first 3 games, and probably though to himself “well s%*#, I’m screwed.”

Eloy is flat out abusing right field, kid is locked and loaded.

Jose clearly hates hitting with the bases loaded.

Anyone got a bead on the doctors here? Can we bribe them to keep him uncleared through 2023?

I can’t tell if this is the most elaborate ruse in this thread, or if this is actually how someone in this thread feels. Bravo if it is the former, my condolences if it is the latter.

Another day where Luis is in limbo, not hurt enough to actually be IL'ed, not well enough to play. Well managed organization.

"Tony wants to return this season"
