Getting off to god start is essential. Getting in a deep hole early could be devastating.

This " get what you can" is not a winning formula.

He chose to resign rather than have it exposed. ( by the owners?) Perhaps there is more that will not come out now because of his resignation. Just funny that he resigns NOW, due to scandal, after such a long tenure.

True. He will be a free agent at the end of 2 years regardless, but you could extend him if you don't trade him. So much depends on his production.

I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories but the timing seems susspicious with the salary cap issue looming.

What if at the end of 2 years they have a contending team and a deal on a new stadium?

Just tell Getz he is a switch hitter, and he is ours.

Next,how many strikeouts?

Getting shredded as he should be. I think he should just admit he misspoke and of course he knows Acuna is a right handed hitter.

They all are. They're in good place right now too.

Bridegeport has changed since then.

I always felt the previous rebuild gathered good talent but not a good team. Hopefully this group, with proper leadership, will be more than a group of individuals.

C'mon boys, this thread sounds like a bunch of old catty women sniping at each other.

If it was so easy then................

Indirectly but yes

Catching lighting in a bottle twice? Nah.

Ya gotta spend money to make money

I bet he would go to the Dodgers or Yankees.

Yeah, I think he settles things down a bit in the outfield. Provides a bit of a comfort level out there. Left field or right?

I agree but, in your opinion, what position should be his?

I do have hope. I hope we don't lose 100 games 4 years in a row. Doesn't that make you miserable?

All true but it would be nice to sign a few higher end players with the intent of keeping them. The third largest market, only the 2 teams that played in minor league stadiums last year had a lower payroll. Every team should look for a diamond in the rough, but the constant churning of mediocre talent for different mediocre talent is not a winning strategy.

The Sox save the difference in the contracts of Robert vs Acuna.

Not when is injured in spring training.

20million floor 40 million ceiling. They could have kept him 2027 also. He probably would have gotten hurt in spring training and play about 60 games. Getting anyone to take the whole 20 million would have been good enough. Now if we can dump JR Ishbia can start with a clean slate.
