Why not encourage super utility, switch hitting, recently single, Ben Zobrist to get back up off the mat and power with the Sox for two more years? Can play 2B, CF, RF, bats lefty (well), fills the gap all over the place. Cheap....
Not to mention they just made a savvy pick-up with Tsutsugo... those are the crafty moves a low-budget team needs to make, which they (A's, etc.) do consistently and Hahn does not. He's a JV GM who is out of his depth yet we will have to live with him because JR Scrooge cares more about hoarding dollars than winning.
Let’s put this in perspective, Chris Sale has a $145M contract thru 2024 - this is dumb money for a high risk #2 ... maybe the Red Sox will trade us Sale back
At the game. Watching the line-up on the rail during the anthem, amazing how weak this team is, this far into the rebuild.... lucky if they win 70. Thanks Rick/Kenny, great job.
