Teel won’t have nearly the same value. Trading him for more uncertainty doesn’t move the needle.

Absolutely nothing!

What makes the team better? You might get more for Teel, but does that make up for the drop off of Quero being the every day backstop?

First mistake is reading anything published on that site, and the second is not immediately dismissing it.

I was expecting 4/$80-90M, so 5/$92M feels like a bargain.

I don’t know if I have ever seen a deadline acquisition fit and thrive as well as Naylor did in Seattle. Unless the M’s were stupid and lowballing, I don’t think anyone else really had a shot.

His physical is today, so I imagine the numbers will be out soon.

Ask the Clippers how much they enjoyed "sharing" The Staples Center. Seriously, why do you post such ridiculous nonsense?

Bingo

Q, Bassitt, and Gio will have better option that to come back here.

After a few years in the Sox organization, anywhere probably looks better. Except the Twins just nuked their roster and will be very bad. I hope his was a promotional and not getting the f*** out of Dodge first chance he gets.

They’d have to win a lot of high scoring games. The pitching would still be a huge question mark.

No

Sox should have signed him before he went to the Nats or Phillies. Now? No shot.

What team would acquire Benintendi to stick him a DH? This scenario is even less likely than a team seeing him as am upgrade in LF.

Of all of the guys they could have hired, these are two. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe it’s the apathy talking, but I have no strong feelings whatsoever about these hires. Coming from the Marlins and Royals isnt overly inspiring, but last I checked both orgs are in better shape that the Sox so who knows.

Bottom 5-6 seems fair, but far too early for predictions before seeing how many other teams make no effort to improve in FA.

To be fair, this probably applies to any of the low cost stopgaps that would sign here.

The players don’t control how much the owner budgets to drafting, development, analytics, INT scouting, or to the major league payroll. The players have next to no impact on team construction. Every successful rebuild requires outside acquisitions somewhere. Perhaps the owner isn’t responsible for individual wins on a day to day basis, but to suggest ownership has no impact on winning is silly.

Nearly 30 years ago. A baseball eternity.

Wheeler has been great for the Phillies, and he would have been a force at the top of the rotation here, but 26 y/o generational talents don’t come around very often on contracts that would be bargains after a few years. Losing out on Wheeler didn’t set the organization back the way bungling Machado & Harper did.

There was certainly a correlation between being over Vaughn and wanting Elko to get a shot. Simply being better than AV was a pretty low bar and I think generally that’s where most people’s hopes were.

I had no idea Skubal had already accrued that much service time. He’ll be 30 by the time he signs in FA if he gets there. As great as he is now, how many CY Young level years does he have left to be seeking $250M more than what’s being offered?

Yesavage is on another level than any of these guys, and still his jump is massive outlier. Sox are going to need a lot more than a breakout season or two to even sniff .500.
