and they just let their best DH walk

my point being it didn't matter how he produced, they were gonna let him play regardless of whether he busts out or not what's his projected fWAR for 2023? ?

Should've dealt Vaughn 2 years ago if they could get something decent. I feel like they pencilled Vaughn in as franchise 1B the day they drafted him

Good for him, has a legit shot at a ring now

idk, Team D is still atrocious. Both IF and OF and behind the plate.

I'll wager a guess that Cueto will get more/year than Clevinger did Maybe not more years but more dollars per

idk about Giolito, the more I think about it, his velocity loss is pretty concerning

I don't think Reylo is going anywhere, his role is too valuable for what the Sox need right now (talented guy who stays healthy in a spot start/long reliever role, due to having question marks in the rotation and pen) plus I doubt he brings back anything of value (could be wrong)

the only way this works out is if he's back to his high K / low BB form, or the Sox defense gets wayyyyyy better this could very well end up not working out at all

I think this is probably the best time to move Kopech if the return is good, he's actually healthy

I have a feeling some contracts are gonna be dumped, guys who ppl weren't expecting to be traded

It's absolutely a coaching/development issue. Guys like Wong and Kepler could go to Houston or NYY and perform well because those organizations understand all that goes into getting the most from just about every player on their 26m roster. This is what worries me about the Sox. I'm glad they shook up their coaching but idk if they picked the right people. I know that the ones who were here before absolutely sucked at their jobs and had no respect from the players.

friend of mine who watched a shitload of NLC games the last 10 years: "Dude he's not the same guy now that he was in STL, plus he's getting fat"

you know that's what they'll do too, fucking bullshit

to be fair didn't they have the highest offer Wheeler got?

is it the scouting or player development? I'm leaning more on PD personally

question is, was his down year just your typical regression/age, or was it due to a league change/unfamiliarity with AL pitching

what's this gonna cost the Sox

is this the poorest built $180+ million team ever I'm sure someone will pick a Yankees or red Sox team but this one is pretty meh

I'm sold. Someone call Jerry

Doesnt the MLB have a league wide rule against using any federally scheduled drug?

Jake Burger is AAAA fodder now? come on

So Mariners are going for it you think?

yup 100%
