The team doesn't have the money to go big at both spots while signing relievers. Grab Conforto and call it a day.

IMO Ozzie is a great manager for when you have the pieces to win. He's not a great manager during a rebuild. Next season would be PERFECT for him.

This is where I'm at. He was rushed and it was frustrating to watch. Some seasoning in AA or AAA would have done him well. He still has huge offensive potential.

Relievers are volatile yo. That's why trading so much for Kimbrel despite his shitty recent track record was stupid. Heuer could bounce back next year and be solid again.

Dont forget Heuer

And for god's sake, wear an elbow guard. I'm surprised he isn't getting bone chips removed from his elbow.

Do you think Conforto has "lost a step" or something? He had a bad year for sure, but the previous 4 years he averaged 4+ WAR (extrapolating last season). He is just turning 29, so he's not that old.

It's Romy time, baby. Romy is about to take the AL Central by storm.

Conforto is better than Joc and it isn't close. He had a down year. He was a beast in 2019 and 2020

The 2 positions of need on offense are RF and 2B. I would love for the Sox to do their best to sign Conforto and roll the dice with Romy at 2B. Conforto had a down year and will cost a draft pick to whoever signs him. Hopefully that is enough to drive his price down into Reinsdorf territory. Romy torched the minors. I'm not expecting too much, but the guy has some potential upside. I'd be fine going into next season with him at 2B if it means the Sox got a good RFer.

They can't waste another season rolling out Adam Eaton-esque garbage in RF again. It's time to pony up and go for it. There is no internal option currently. Go get a damn RFer.

We really need Colas to become a dude

Stop it. Craig's demise wasn't hard to see. Look at his previous 2 seasons. GARBAGE. Hernandez was an aging, mediocre players. His demise isn't surprising either. Hahn most definitely deserves blame.

Cespedes isn't ready, and there's no guarantee he will be good. He's not a realistic option next year IMO

What would you expect Conforto gets? The signing team loses a pick (not sure what round). 3-4 years 60-80 mil?

I agree. I think somebody will roll the dice on him. Hell, look at the contract Eovaldi got.

Demote SS2k5 and Balta to global moderators, strip Tony's moderating abilities completely, give Kyyle a promotion, unban Parkman

Conforto is an absolute MUST. Buy low on him after a down year.

Amen. Put that runt on a damn stretcher.

Frank is the hitting coach

No one player saves this season. If you think he wouldn't be a good piece for the future, I don't even.

If he would have told the guys that the goal is to score runs, we win the series. Massive blunder by TLR.

We had a guy that didn't fit this mold. Traded him for garbage.

This is TLR's fault
