I’d be surprised. He can’t field anymore, and the Sox have DH locked up. Plus I don’t think the Sox have that much money to sign him or even beat other teams interested in him.

You might need to double check his Fangraph's page. Adell is atrocious in the OF. He's the RH version of Sheets.

I want nothing to do with Adell. We have enough bad players on this team as it is.

https://x.com/tydanegonzalez/status/1752030158557462572?s=46&t=YB66BSH8MdsOmPwZtTqy1w Seems like something might be brewing. No idea if it’s Cease.

Only thing I’d worry about is Duval’s wrist. He’s broken it twice over the last few seasons. At his age, he may not be very durable or be able to get through the whole season.

I think any additional addition via FA will come with Cease being traded with his salary going towards whoever is added. This year seems twofold to me: 1) Getz is clearly trying to reshape this team to be something different. Will his vision be successful? Not this year, but once you jettison Eloy and Moncada’s deals, you are looking at a super low payroll for 2025 that should give him flexibility to add actual impact FA. 2) Obviously payroll is slashed from the last few years, so they probably have it at a point that they can recoup their financial losses with the massive drop in attendance. We all know how Jerry operates, so it is what it is. Im not expecting much for this upcoming season. With the way the draft pick falls outside of the top 10, it’s kind of pointless to root for losses. I just want to see better fundamental play and see some success from anyone who will be around 2025 and beyond.

Woo's savant page is a thing of beauty: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/bryan-woo-693433?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb

I always go BA over Pipeline.

Even if Cease is traded, they likely have enough arms that can fill the rotation. Granted, the quality is extremely questionable but its not like Wood would have been a risk-free option either.

Did he say this on air this AM? Would be huge if true. I think this would be great for the Sox.

Tonight was a good time. Very unique. We pretty much had the whole museum to ourselves, players were scattered throughout, and you got get a pic or autograph if you wanted. Got to talk to Sheets, Eder, Soroka, Kittle, DeJong and Montgomery. I’d say for what the Sox have offered season ticket holders in the past, this was one of the better events pre-Covid, despite all the beer running out in the first 45 min. I drink wine too so it was whatever.

Pius is going to be 33 this year and hasn’t been in the majors or minors since 2019. There is nothing here that would make me think he would be a good addition.

I don’t think that was the intention, but it certainly seems like someone out of their depth is running that account the last week or so. I’ve never heard of stylizing a tweet like that. Usually your accompanying graphic or video should handle the creative side of things.

I’ll be there. I’m not entirely sure what to expect, but I do know private events at the Field Museum are quite nice.

Certainly an interesting strategy the Cubs are taking this offseason.

$11M for a guy that will make roughly 10 starts for you. Yuck.

Eh, you’d be surprised. But it wouldn’t happen for such smaller companies. The nationwide brands will always be able to beat it.

I’d be shocked if it isn’t named after a company. Naming rights are worth too much to pass up, especially for a new stadium. Sox fans will find their own name for it though. I like the seven-eight personally, but having something like “Wintrust Field at the 78” wouldn’t be the worst thing IMO.

Joey Ortiz was brought in at halftime and gave them a pep talk.

Sanchez might be the one of the most overhyped prospect of the Hahn era. Literally everything they initially said about him was false.

The massive increase to the overall value of the team is likely his motivation for this.

Thanks for the insult? Maybe you've never worked for a company that runs things half-assed backwards, or maybe you're a yes-man yourself, but do yourself a favor and look up the top reasons good employees leave companies. It's not conspiracy.

You know what they say about top talent leaving? Jerry can be loyal all he wants, but the way the Sox are run forces the talented individuals to seek out better opportunities and take them. That's why you have all these company yes men in the organization - they wouldn't be employed this long for other organizations.

I think they are tapped financially. It’s pretty obvious the budget Getz has to work with is non-existent. If you move Cease, that would give them $8-9M to work with, and then I thing you’re right - we might see a guy like Grichuk brought in.

With all the 4A guys brought in so far, I'd bet that the starting RF is already here we just don't know it yet.
