Keep dreaming. Turner is gonna get a $250 million contract and that's something Jerry will never give out.

All the guys he named sound like pipe dreams outside of Conforto. And that's only because he's coming off an injury and nobody knows how good he'll actually be.

Left text: signing a capable RFer Right text: signing yet another bullpen arm

That's how you end up signing Joe Kelly and Leury Garcia to bad 3 year deals.

If LA couldn't fix Gallo then there really isn't a ton of hope for him. Maybe going back to Texas will help him.

Maybe don't make him play OF (which is a far more taxing position physically than 1B) and he won't fade at the end of the year.

Yeah. His arm sucks. But he's pretty good at actually fielding the ball. I'll settle for that when we've had Vaughn and Sheets out there the past 2 years. His power dropped a lot last year, but one thing to note is that he would have had twice the amount of homers had he played in Chicago instead of that vast stadium in KC. He would have had 30 homers in 2021 if he played all his games at GRate.

I wonder if hiring Grifol means they'll go hard after Benintendi.

If the other team got out to a 3+ run lead, the game was pretty much over. The offense was like watching nails on a chalkboard.

Wasn't that Narron?

The biggest change is Jose leaving.

Yeah Grifol is talking about analytics...but it's gonna be awkward when we sacrifice bunt on opening day.

Even Hahn notes the difference between the first half of 2021 and the latter half. I wonder what happened after the ASB.

Apparently, the hiring process this time was similar to when the Bulls hired AK.

Frank should have given the whole team some Nugenix. And TA's girlfriends will like it too.

If there's a word cloud of the things said in this press conference, communication would probably be the biggest word in it.

If Griftol is just a decent manager, he'll look lightyears better than Tony. La Russa being out of the game for 10 years and him being 77 really put the Sox at a huge disadvantage every night.

I'm guessing his health probably played a role in that. The Sox absolutely killed starters in 2021. So either we got lucky all year in 2021 or there was some planning going into 2021, but not so much in 2022.

Hahn bringing up changes to pre-game planning for the offense. I guess that's something that Tony didn't do.

Griftol saying that the Sox didn't have high energy last year. I guess that's what happens when Low Energy Tony is your manager.

Them harping on communication and collaboration this much makes me think Tony just sat around in his office and didn't talk to anyone.

Oh no, Hahn just thanked Josh Harrison for sharing his number...maybe I was wrong about him not being back.

How many times did Hahn and the FO rehearse this elevator pitch about Pedro? lol

Anyone got a link to the press conference? Edit:

Dragic was awesome last night. It looked like he was 10 years younger on some of those scores.
