Short of spending $, idk. Not sold that trading Hendriks improves the team tho.

Ehh. Need is a strong word.

Yeah, it was floated yesterday that they're trying to get him to agree to monster AAVs on a shorter term deal. With Giants missing out on Judge, have to imagine they're very motivated on Correa now.

That works too.

Xander to BOS, and Correa to LAD/SF leaving by far the worst of the three in Dansby for the Twins to overpay seems like a W for the Sox.

Also used it a few years previous on Adrian Neito.

OK fine, I will throw in a baklava.

I am fully expecting a Joey Gallo + Adam Frazier offseason at this point. Perhaps along with a Hendriks trade for a SP prospect.

Yeah, but a lot of teams didn't do jack squat this week. The biggest player added to the AL Central was Josh Bell.. I am surprised there was not a single trade of note though.

Give us the goods, Greek'd PK. Who are the Sox getting in return for TA, Hendriks and Giolito!? Stop withholding the names!

I am not saying he's not replaceable - I would have non-tendered him myself purely for the roster flexibility. But this guy you're grabbing #15 in the Rule 5 isn't going to better than Ruiz is right now, and the Sox quite literally have no one to option except Lambert who was pretty darn good out of the pen last year. The Sox also probably have one the better bullpens in the game, tbh.

I totally get skipping on the pitching. The Sox have to carry this guy on the MLB roster and they quite literally have no room on the pitching side. Not grabbing a guy to compete for the 4th OF spot, or even the quasi-catcher/OF makes little sense.

And run a 6 man rotation?

Yeah, I guess my 2nd team is always whoever the Twins are playing. Having spent most of my life in MN and all my friends being Twins fans, that is my other way of consuming baseball.

As frustrating as being a Sox fan can be, I would never even consider changing my fandom. Its in my blood. For better or worse.

Is today a full day, or is it like pre covid that the hotel empties after the Rule 5?

Zzzzzzz not a single trade of note yet this WM.

Much more of a rebuild than retool at that point.

Where is the Greek PK? We need some more rumors!

"After another past ball from Grandal, Grifol is headed to the mound to retrieve Graterol from this contest"

GIF fail

Its a junk burner account. Can mostly disregard. Sox aren't signing Eovaldi.

So only top 6 are up for grabs otherwise you just slot into your spot ya?

Was about right on guaranteed AAV.

Curious to hear these terms. Guessing 3/$40Mish in this market.
