I definitely want to see them acquire a potential impact middle of the order bat as I feel like by the time it comes to compete again we will see some of the pitching prospects become MLB ready by the time we are competing again. However you can’t have enough pitching so it’d be nice to acquire another one but I definitely think a young upcoming bat is sorely needed (specifically if we can find it for RF and/or 2B and quit trying to fill those holes year in and year out

I think that was the whole purpose of Jerry hiring Getz though. He said it in his press conference. Bringing in someone that knows the inner workings of the organization because he wants to win now and if you bring in someone new they need time to evaluate everyone. If Getz has no idea what we have in the farm system or at the major league level then what the hell was he doing the past few years?

Chris knows what’s on this roster already, he’s not an outsider from a different organization. Maybe they arent trying to purposely tank because JR and TLR are old, calling the shots and think a roster like he’s currently building is the way to win however this team is in no way set to compete in 2025 as currently constructed. This is going to be very painful for the next couple years.

Win / Losses doesn’t matter at this point anyways with the new draft rules. I don’t want to be the Indians from the past few years where they struggle to score more than 2 runs a game but yet here we are

Have you seen the position players he’s brought in already? They are either slap hitters or players that flat out just can’t hit…

We are only classified as a big market team when it’s beneficial to Jerry’s bottom line. As far as spending goes….no way we are a big market team, Jerry cries poor ??

Only way I see the team adding much in terms of bringing offense to this team is if they acquire some with the mlb ready prospects they get from a Cease trade

Sox aren’t in the market for any of those guys. It’s been clear with all these acquisitions they are going to try and find some diamond in the rough type of pitchers or ones on 1-2 year bounce back type of seasons.

I like the search for defense but the lack of power on this team at the moment is going to make for a long summer….hopefully that will change but I doubt it

Benintendi- LF Moncada- 3B Robert - CF Eloy- DH Vaughn- 1B Sheets - RF? (Won’t be him cuz defense) Lopez - 2B Stassi/Lee -C Dejong- SS

Meh never say never with these clowns….

He’s definitely a 40 man spot. Is owed 7 mil this season w a 500k buy out for 2025

7 mil for 2024 and a 500k buy out for 2025 for a catcher who his .190 in 2022 and didn’t play due to injury and family matters in 2023….yay

Nah but the be fair most of these massive contracts don’t live up to the play on the field. Unfortunately though in order to be competitive you have to fork over that kind of money from time to time unless you are a team like the Rays who just pull prospects out of their ass year in and year out

If the Dodgers can land Yamamoto after Ohtani and then have the opportunity to acquire Cease in a trade I highly doubt they will care who they give up as far as prospects go.

Would be the favorite in my opinion. I thought I read something last week he said he wanted to sign with a team that had other Japanese players on it.

False reporting…I already said it was a 600 mil deal with escalators to 700 mil based on IP and Plate Appearances.

Hopefully Yamamoto and Snell sign here soon so we can let the Cease sweepstakes begin

Not in Japan where Shoei is the equivalent to Michael Jordan and that is all that matters in this equation

Don’t have the numbers in front of me but Steve Cohen will have paid close to more money than the entire Sox payroll on players leaving his organization over the past year or so then JR will have spent on the 2024 on the field product. There are plenty of owners out there that understand spending money will ultimately make you money.

Still even then it’s worth every penny that they are going to make off of him. They probably don’t care about year 5 and beyond. At that point the money will have been recouped and I’m sure LA will have spent another 500 mil on a future player to join their team.

It will be interesting to see the financials of the deal when they get released but If most of money is deferred and doesn’t put a strain on the Dodgers luxury tax threshold giving them flexibility to bring in even more players then there is zero reason it is a terrible contract. Not even hating on teams anymore that do these things, just pissed we don’t have an owner that can’t understand in order to make money you gotta spend money.
