Fan opinion is somewhat worthless. Conforto has a career 124 wRC+ (meaning hes 24% abouve league average), he hits for power from the left side, he's serviceable defensively. Career OBP of .356. He's far and away the best fit for the Sox on the FA market. He won't be super cheap, but you're getting hit a significant discount from what he'd have costed prior to 21. I think a deal similar to Yaz gets it done. 3-4 years at $15-18M AAV.

We need lineup balance, defense and OBP from those 2 spots. Romy solves none of that.

Manager most certainly included in my “fresh coaching staff” comment. Just don’t see it happening.

I am talking about a 5th starter on a 1 year deal. Not backing up the truck. We’re pretty covered 1-4. Was just an idea in my sad state. I’ll have to study the FA lists - I am sure there are plenty of other names that would fit the bill.

Major moves for RF and 2B. Bring back Tepera. Trade Kimbrel for what you can - maybe a younger controllable reliever with promise. give carlos QO - If he rejects, Sign a solid veteran SP. May be too soon, but Grienke would be kind of fun but unlikely he hates Sox park and he said as much. Haven’t studied list enough to give you another name atm. In an alternative universe, I’d love to see a fresh coaching staff but know it’s not happening.

If the Sox fired TLR, I’d love It. But I think we’re talking about like 5% chance. More likely he decides the grind isn’t for him anymore And he gracefully steps Away. Even if Sox wanted him gone, that’s how he’d go.

Far cry from 5/$120

LFG

What’s your guess on Rodon deal? I’ll go 3/$45M.

Let’s score some runs and see what happens. Cmon boys. Show some life.

Makes some sense after dogging it in the OF.

Nah Eloy Should be primary DH next season.

Yep. And I think he will. He hates this more than all of us. It’s in there tho and that’s the biggest hurdle. People talking about trading him coming off 21 are nuts.

You’re not selling high tho. Eloy going nowhere.

LOL

Offseason is needed for Eloy. Hope he figures some stuff out before April.

Shrug. It’s one thing in the regular season games that don’t matter. Another today.

Is it just me or did it look like Luis was coasting that half inning? The single looked potentially catchable with a good break and while he had no chance, he completely dogged the rbi single getting it back in.

Hopefully he is aware and we see some generous calls down the stretch. Certainly deserve it.

I certainly noticed that as well. Was just an enormous turning point in the game. Carlos could have easily been out of that inning without a run.

Let go boys. We’ve done it before, we can do it again. But it’s gotta start here with the top! Crooked number and go from there. Plenty of ABs left

It’s a 2 run game.

Absolutely have to find a way out this inning 3-1. Cannot allow another run.

Pretty fucking big missed calls.

Sure seemed like Carlos got squeezed that inning. We're always going to need more than 1 run. Let's get it back RIGHT NOW
