I don’t get where this 28/29/30 talk is coming from. Regardless, they should take the best asset available, with the highest ceiling when it’s their turn to pick. The rest will figure itself out.

And he only moved to 3B because the Dodgers had Seager

The Pirates already did

Thats exactly what a team in their position should be doing. They’re not trying to win, they’re not at the point yet. The best case scenario for the Sox this season is that they end up with the first overall pick in the draft.

Outside of Benintendi and Robert, the Sox are out of the tear down phase of the rebuild. Now it’s all about multiplying assets (flipping guys)

I agree that Poles hasn’t maximized his assets and made a mistake by building the team outside in but the franchise was dysfunctional. Yeah he made a mistake by bringing back Eberflus but it was clear who was making the decisions. Warren comes in and we don’t know who is responsible for what. Who made the call to fire Everflus? Does Poles have to go to Warren on approval on matters related to the 53. I mean today, Poles had a press conference, and immediately afterwards George and Warren had their own. A lot of what they said was dumb, some contradictory. There’s too many cooks in the kitchen.

Hiring Kevin Warren might be one of the worst things the Bears have ever done. It seemed like Poles was operating the ship just fine, it seems like everything has become so messy since Warren has come on board. I also have serious doubts about his ability to get THIS TEAM a stadium/entertainment complex. The hire is looking really bad right now

Vera was undone by injuries

Biggest reason why the 2016 rebuild failed. Not their failure to sign Machado or Harper.

If Robert rebounds, Vaughn and Benny hit, they’re all gone by the TDL. Which would be incredible for the Sox.

Some of these signings were publicized by their trainers years ago. You can see if you look up their IG pages or twitter accounts. I would love it if they took a page from the Dodgers every year and sign like 20+ players every year but they need to complete the new academy for that to happen. I like a lot of the things Getz is doing to modernize the organization but overhauling this department is going to take the longest.

I think Meidroth is going to win the 2B job outright in camp

Too early for that in terms of free agents. Embrace the suck

For a team in their position, they’re having a really good offseason. Shocked he didn’t sign with a more competitive club. I wonder how he’ll be used. I wish they would sign a vet started and make a deal for Robert (if their price is met) but I like what they’ve done so far.

I’m not saying he should open the year in Chicago but if he keeps it up and it’s after the ASB or later in the season, bring him up. The only argument for keeping him down till 2026 is that the Sox might get an extra pick because he could win ROY that year.

Innings are the same in the minors as the pros. He can get MLB guys out right now, why can’t they continue to stretch him and increase his innings at the big league level? Do you think the Sox are playing for something other than the first overall pick?

Joe Burrow should win MVP. He’s been unreal, Cincy would be winless without him.

Schultz and Smith are probably both with the big league club this year. Schultz for sure.

I don't know where else to put this but Brian Anderson is a terrible analyst. I like McGuffey but Anderson ruins their podcast for me

I think Vargas is in for 20 plus homers this year, they should give him a single position and just let him play there everyday

I get the logic of this move but I wish they didn’t make it, I know the player they sent is a true lottery ticket but they need all the ones they can get

Damn but I respect the choice. I’m sure he’ll be back down the line in some capacity

Could also be where his agency is based

Wanted the Sox to sign him back to be their closer. Good deal for the Nats

I like this move but I want them to sign a more proven starter this offseason.
