Anyone with a small semblance of baseball IQ can see, Sheets has ZERO business logging any time in RF. Gracious, this organization...

4 years for Conforto seems like an acceptable ask, I don't get it....

Please don't let Joc Pederson be what we settle on.

Always confused when trade targets come on the Sox radar, and folks don't want to get rid of anyone at all, but still expect to complete the trade. Why in the world, would you NOT want to move Sheets, for Manaea? He is exactly the guy we need, in the rotation.

I trade Sheets over Vaughn, any day of the week, twice on Sunday.

I'd love for it to happen, but certainly can't see it coming to fruition.

Meadows has 3 years of control? Hah, now that is a trade we don't even have the ammo for.

Can they afford it? Yes Will it happen? Sources point to No

So 5/70 for Suzuki, with a 12.375 posting. A 14 mil yearly impact to CBT.

I think we're all, in our own timeframe, coming to terms with the fact that Conforto was never really an option, if we're honest with ourselves. Not with status quo ownership.

Always depressing, when someone breaks down our draft/minor league contents.

If we're willing to let Burger learn at 2B, that makes signing Josh Harrison even more asinine. I wish Hahn would get over his idea that "signing a lot of projects is better than spending all your money on a star".

How amusing would it be, if, unbeknownst to the Sox brass and the fans, Andrew Vaughn was a slick fielding second baseman.

Yep, Kyrie has missed a ton of games for it.

Trying to extract a dollar's worth of skill by spending 35 cents on many guys, isn't new for this organization. I'm not disagreeing with you, it was 100% dumb to spend 13 million on those 3 guys, absolutely. But, after the Leury money was spent in December, it was always going to go this way. We've all lived through the terrible 'hey lets try this below average guy' signings, that we do EVERY SINGLE YEAR. Other teams make these signings, for camp depth or minor league contracts. We seem to enjoy thinking dumpster diving for a 26 man roster, can work every year.

Yeah, I'm wondering myself who the Sox were supposed to bring in, instead? Whether we like it or not, we have x dollars that the organization is going to spend, and 2B is so much of a lesser concern, than RF and SP. Hernandez was an absolute dog in a Sox uniform. He appeared to have no desire to be there, body language sucked, performance sucked, just.......sucked.

Freeman is going to play in Toronto, I still feel...

After watching Hernandez in the 2nd half last year, no chance I wanted to watch him in a Sox uni again. I'm not saying Harrison is any better, but if the success/failure of the 2022 team, is hinged on Hernandez vs Harrison, we're screwed. We're all assuming (hoping) that we went cheap at 2B, because a move for RF/SP is still to come. If it doesn't, then yeah...signing Harrison follows no logic, and is very Hahn/Sox-esque.

So you pick the 3 years where he was hurt for 2 of them, yeah....I'd imagine his output isn't very good, when he isn't playing.

4 mil for a competent second baseman is really nothing at all, at this point.
