We’ll see what happens, but you’d think getting signed to a deal this long would mean bygones being bygones and he’s in left field next Thursday. Skip the baloney.
No question, it was a shitty offseason based on what they were trying to accomplish- Manny Machado. It sucks. It’s over, and the goal is still the same...figure out a way to sustained success 2021-2025. If they get to a point where it’s clear that window of winning won’t happen, that’s when everyone needs to go. Everyone.
Some good news as spring training comes to a close next week...the weather will be better this year. We’re not going to have a repeat of last year’s April nonsense. Long range forecast has east of the Rockies warmer than normal through the first few weeks of April.
Rodon officially named OD starter.
Rodon vs Keller on opening day. Both talented, but I’d be interested to know if this one of the weakest combined OD matchups ever just based on lack of career accomplishment so far.
Eh, we know why Alonso was acquired. Maybe some team will have an early injury and the Sox flip him fairly quickly. He seems like a good dude, though. Not going to root against him.
But, yeah. Palka doesn’t belong in a big league outfield.
Really like Keuchel and think he’s got good years ahead of him, but the fit is terrible at this point. He’d be better off joining a contender on a 1-year deal, with an option or something like that.
