This is true, but it's also a sorry ass excuse if that's the FO's thinking.

Pretty damn deflating seeing these good deals being handed out for quality starting pitching, of which this team still needs.

18M might be too much for Rodon's injury history, but Ray's deal is similar to what they supposedly offered Wheeler. Rodon and Ray aren't in the same situation.

Opt out after 3. That's not even locking yourself into long bad money.

I would tend to agree. And if a $23M AAV for a front line starter is too rich we are in for a long offseason.

Yeah, its deflating at this point that all of the action is happening and nary a Sox mention. Like, at all.

UGH. There goes the one I wanted.

I can live with that

Pretty sure one of the blue checkmark reporters tweeted essentially that teams can still talk trade after Dec 1, which was why FA was getting more attention.

Why weaken 3B for a lesser player? Leave Moncada at 3rd.

Never really thought the Sox would be in play, but it woulda been nice.

Let’s hope other dominos start to fall after Max is official.

Sox aren’t exactly pulling out all the stops to make themselves top title contenders this winter, but the franchise has never really operated that way anyway. But to suggest they are acting like a team on the verge of a rebuild is laughably absurd. I’m antsy AF watching all these moves happen while the Sox seemingly sit on their hands but come the fuck on. Still plenty of opportunity to fill the holes on the roster.

This is probably true. Near future as in sometime this winter.

I was just thinking that we’ll see a trade for Bassitt at some point in the near future.

Yes it is.
