Jose Abreu

Jesus christ

He should really make that first one more clear then because he'd be without a starting catcher and second baseman

I love the people who come in this thread with the "I'm smarter than all of you who have actually been paying attention to what the Sox have been doing" approach and then end up saying something that just makes them sound ridiculous

Yeah if this is really the main selling point of their "big presentation" then there's no way Manny's coming here.

Seems like a huge regression candidate and huge overpay candidate to me but hopefully the price is lower than I think.

I think it would be a complementary move to a Machado or Harper

That's what I meant (to your first thought). In the event that Cleveland sells, we do indeed land one of Machado/Harper, but it would still leave Abreu at 1B, Eloy in LF, and Cruz/Palka at DH

The division, in the event that Cleveland sells and we land a big fish

I would put this in the catch-all but I can't find it

As they should be. Would be a huge short-term upgrade over Palka if we're really going for it next year.

The link provided shows that he was awful at both positions

I'm not "turning him away" but his defense is WAY worse than mediocre. https://sportsinfosolutionsblog.com/2018/09/20/why-does-bryce-harper-have-25-defensive-runs-saved/

I can't wait for Anderson and Moncada to be benched for no reason while guys who actually aren't hustling get rewarded. I would be fine with his system if he were consistent, but he tends to bench his better players for crimes that are far less egregious than what the rest of the team does.

He doesn't usually talk like this, interesting. His comments like this generally are more hypothetical and future-oriented rather than being in the present.

I love Harper but signing one of the worst defensive RF in baseball does not solidify RF long-term. It does, however, solidify 1B/DH long-term.

Hutchison needs more minutes, Parker needs fewer. And LaVine needs to stop being so passive early in games.

Cowboys/Titans tonight and Giants/49ers last night. The Monday Night Football game selection crew really treated us! And even if Jimmy were healthy, 49ers/Giants would still be a bad MNF matchup.

In which Morosi estimates a 30% probability of the Sox landing one of Harper/Machado

Is there a video or link to this anywhere?

Can’t tell if he’s excited or if he thinks Machado is a SS

FWIW I believe Eloy is already mostly playing LF in the minors. I don't think he's an MLB right fielder.
