Look what DA said. Moncada told Ricky that he can play CF. It isn't rocket science up there. You chase the ball and throw it back. Moncada has elite speed and a good arm. He would be great out there.

Moncada would at least solid in CF, and elite in RF. Signing Rendon and Wheeler would push the Sox into contention

You rejected it because you know you'll lose. Jose won't be here for 3 years

Why do 16x2 when we can get him for 18m with the QO? Less risk. We can bargain him lower than 16m a year due to the loss of draft pick penalty. 14x2 is more like it if you really want 2 years.

How do you define "crazy" in this scenario?

Jose on a deal longer than 1 year is lunacy. He can accept the QO or test the market and (likely) sit until the draft is done with. It's as simple as that.

DD gawn now!

Red Sox aren't selling low on Benintendi.

Thank you sir. People here don't like giving me credit when I'm correct, especially regarding Abreu. @CaliSoxFanViaSWside especially

Seriously. What the hell happened to him? Very disappointing

Thad Bosley, wrong again. What's new?!

Rick Hahn's bum ass just likes using that as an excuse

Good god that would be a horrible signing. I'd be so disappointed if that's what we got lol

Nobody wants to hear what you two do in your private time. Keep it to yourself.

Your obsession with me is reaching worrisome levels. Mods, if I disappear one day, you know which direction to point the police in.

I'm afraid we'll see another shortstop we traded away winning that award in the future

This. It is perfect. Vaughn should be ready by 2020 if he is as good as people think.

Ban bet?

This is a bad and embarrassing take greg. He is dogshit at first base.

You were saying?

I don't need a defensive wiz at 1st base, just a guy who isn't an absolute SIEVE at 1st. The only thing that penetrates Jose more often than baseballs at 1st base is nicotine through the lining of his gums

Remember when I said the Sox would offer Jose the QO for him to take or leave, and you all called me "crazy", "wrong", and "biased"? Two to three year deal they all said. THAT'S RIGHT SOXTALK. Ron is correct again. Suck it.

The Sox can severely limit his options by offering him the qualifying offer. That way it is a 1 year deal. If he is great, you sign him the next year. He declines it and his stock is very limited.

We can just offer Jose the QO. It'll be what, 18mil? He declines the QO and he won't get ANY good offer due to the loss of a pick attached to him. He wouldn't get 2/30mil, unless he waits it out like Kimbrel and Keuchel. Overpaying for only 1 year isn't that bad with Jose. Hamstring him with the QO.
