With that said, the Sox need to hit on the Cain’s and Brantley’s of the league, second tier guys that are still highly productive. It can be done.

Why is everyone so fixated on signing THE premier free agent in order for the rebuild to work? How often do the top free agent signings actually pan out? Sure there are examples where it has but I’d wager that more than half of the top signings over the last two decades ended up being regrettable within a couple years of the signing.

That’s why I’d hold on to him unless blown away by an offer. If the Phillies were offering Alec Bohm, for example, I’d take it.

I could definitely see that but after this season I’m not sure he finds more than a 2 year deal unless he turns things around in the second half.

Then I’d hold him. Especially since the closer free agent market this offseason is very weak.

Not starters but solid backups/depth on a contending team

That’s very debatable...

When’s the last time this organization had two position players that were all stars in the same season? Not sure they will make it this year but Anderson and Moncada are playing at that level already.

How so? More than half the guys I listed are already major leaguers.

Thought he has another season of arbitration though?

Everyone was so focused on Machado as the perfect fit that they lost sight of the fact that Harper was the better fit for this team all along. Sox really missed out on Harper at a reasonable rate of ~$25M AAV to boot.

Season nearly 40% complete and he’s basically been Yolmer Sanchez with a bit more power. The back half of this contract is going to look very ugly.

He’s in the same boat as Colome.

Sox should be targeting starting pitching in every trade they make the next several years.

Colome is now officially the top closer available on the market unless Toronto moves Giles.

Will be interesting to see how it plays out. Cubs were definitely desperate for a closer. They’ve paid through their nose to acquire their last four closers now between cash and young talent.

Haha. Thanks man but you didn’t answer the question.

Called it

He’s only 8 months younger than Eloy. They should be calling this kid up to the bigs soon. No way you should keep him down until late April if healthy.

Despite the terrible ERA, Nova is a serviceable #5.

Don’t pitch to Soto with first base open

Considering Yolmer’s dreadful start to the season, pretty amazing stuff there

The power isn’t there yet but Yolmer Sanchez has now passed Manny Machado in both batting average and on base percentage. Quickly closing the gap in wRC+ as well ?

39 pitch first inning WOW

Wanted no part of Tilson lol
