I expect the team to sign another starter, and one or two players with experience in the back end of the pen. I wouldn't be opposed to the Soc reuniting with Kopech, he doesn't fit the culture/vibe they have now.

I’m not shocked they’re on the team, I’m more shocked that Benintendi is on the team still. Surely there has to be a bad contract for bad contract swap

I want this guy in round 2.

I’m trying to make a lineup and don’t know where to put guys, that’s good and a welcome change.

What would you guys say are the Sox biggest system wide needs? I would say that they need power, and that they need outfielders.

I love this hire for the Sox. Some great minds from around the game and outside the org have bought into what Getz is building. I'm curious to know what his role is with the Sox, he has a background in scouting, player development, and the international side of things, departments that are headed by others currently. There's two front office moves that I would like to see the Sox make. I would love for them to hire away someone to be their head of analytics, and I would like to see Getz bring in an experienced GM as an advisor, something I'm still shocked that he hasn't done.

I think they will, especially with new ownership but even if that’s not the case, I trust FO to use money more wisely than the last regime

The entire fortune of the organization just changed drastically. The 2025 Sox just had one of the best possible years for a rebuilding team. They found a manager with exciting potential, they identified the foundation of an exciting core of guys, and they landed the first overall pick, in a draft with two elite talents at the top in the best draft class in several years. Rebuilds mean nothing if ownership doesn’t spend the money to augment the roster, but the is rebuild is super promising.

I like the signing. As some have said, I’d rather see him than Perez, as I believe Kay is 5 or 6 years younger. I do want them to sign another vet for the rotation, my ideal choice being Mike Soroka, and have Burke and Cannon battle it out to be the #5 starter. Curious to see what Bannister/Bove can do wit Kay to elevate him.

I don't think that's true. Ever since the 2012 CBA came into effect, the Sox have spent all the money allotted to them to sign amateur talent in both the draft and free agency. Every year under Mike Shirley, they've exceeded their bonus pools to sign their guys. I think the reports of them signed guys in classes of 2-3 years down the line, Is enough of an answer to that question.

I know nothing about the guy but because he had a background in player development, I’m going to say this is a good hire. I think teams forget that player development is something that happens throughout the entirety of a player’s career, so I would want as many player development guys on my staff as possible.

In an OPP, I said that I think the Sox should get Denzel Clark from Oakland. Put him in CF. And move Robert to RF

Every team in MLB has agreements with kids as young as 12/13 in Latin America, the Dominican Republic especially. The Sox and this new regime are now playing at the top of the market. James Fegan, Hector Gomez, and Frances Romero have all linked the Sox to guys in future classes. And buying prospects has nothing to do with the ML roster. What are you talking about?

The thought process behind the trade was a failure. The outcome was a failure
