Yes the team currently can not compete right now but depending on how they fill those holes will tell which way they are going this offseason. But you can't sit around waiting for the prospect to get here. Sox can get those positions players here by signing them now depending on who they get

Doesn't matter what I or anyone says, you just going to say it's going to take a miracle for them to win like getting hit by lightning lol

How is sonny grey a player that is used for bypassing a year and not competitive? He didnt do well cause of NY. It's only a 1 yr deal and filling innings Hopefully at a better rate then shields did. Also Greinke is a dead weight contract that the diamond backs would probably love to unload. I wouldn't touch him but if you were willing to take onore of the contract that means less quality to them unless they are willing to eat more to get better quality in return

I didn't say anything about trading guys but would not try to cause of depleting the system to that extent. Trading for maybe a sonny grey shouldnt cost that much since it seems the Yankees are trying to get rid of him. Also wouldn't trade for Greinke but he shouldnt cost that much if you are willing to take a good amount of his contract on.

It's OK man. Be a Debbie downer

Which is why you sign a better starter to a multi year deal then signing 2 fillers.

Heres the other pessimistic one

Again not saying they are guaranteed to make the playoffs but could depending on what they do. You appearntly can guarantee they can't

Again 3 pitchers vs position player. Both rodon and fulmer were rushed cause of trying to compete and seen how that's affected them. So again you don't know what kinda setback like a injury can happen

OK you see no possibility. I'm going to hold out hope

Again how many have the sox been able to push through lately. They seem to be taking their time with prospects and not rushing them like they use to. Would be a big if Madrigal flyes through the system with out set backs or injuries.

Nobody know what the sox are going to do. Just hope they can

I forgot your are one of the pessimistic ones that don't think the sox can do better

Will depend on what they do this offseason. Apparently the sox think they can do better otherwise why trade for colome plus be looking for starting pitching and more bullpen up plus now need to replace avi. They could have just kept avi and Davidson and ran out the kids they added to the pen and see what's happens

That's a big if at this point

There's no guarantee that Madrigal will be up in a year. Alot has to go right. When was the last time a top pick position player for the Sox made it up before 2yrs.

Have you seen the AL. Most of the central teams are rebuilding plus the Indians might retool. Seattle just started a tear down. Not sure Oakland can maintain with the pitching staff. Still one wild card spot open and could be also be division

Maybe the sox feel they can start to win now. There's always a need for starting pitching. Look at kopech. Dunning was close to surgery, Hansen got injured and took a step back. Again not nowing with rodon. How would the contract be a weight on a team when they barely have a payroll as it is and getting smaller each year

First you wouldn't move him to 3rd until machado would sign anyways if the Sox have a chance at machado. Plus you don't even know if arenado will be a free agent. Also unless there is someone ready to take over 2nd to replace him why move him

Corbin is going to be more expensive but just worry about happ already being 36 and getting a multi year deal

I think the sox want one innings eater like shields did but also multi year player for other spot. Problem is don't know if rodon can stay healthy and which version of giolito you are getting. Plus if rodon can stay healthy and pitch well can use as trade bait down the line
