I just think they’ll add a veteran OF to the mix, even if it means he’s on the bench.

Dude already had generational wealth.

Regardless, he’ll probably be more in their price range. Like I said, if guys like Baldwin hit and Montgomery comes up, he’s likely shifting to the bench anyway. And regardless if Acuna or Baldwin hit or not, they should still be in.

Ah. I just assumed he was better against LHP. Edit: actually, he had a .949 OPs against lefties last year. .941 on 2024. .786 in 2023 but it was close to what it was against RHP

Yeah and Hays naturally slides in a platoon role if other guys rise up and Montgomery comes up.

An OF and a starter. Cheaper options.

There were 2 other pieces in that deal FWIW

I just can't see Giolito coming back. Of course, if they have the highest offer that changes things but I can't see the Sox being seriously involved in that pool of starters.

Oh s%*#

Outside of Newcomb, Murakami and this move, it's hard to pump up Anthony Kay and Acuna.

Yeah I think it's unlikely they break camp with both but injuries to others can provide a path for both.

Wasn't this guy traded between games of a Doubleheader between the O's and the Jays from the O's to the Jays?

At this point I agree.

The overall guaranteed amount is the same I think is what he means even if the AAV isn’t.

Don't really love the fit since I'd rather see Acuna and Baldwin get majority of the time in CF.

I would like to think I willed this into existent. Been saying he would be a good add for a few weeks (even if not repeatedly on here haha)

He looked fine in 2024. Don't know what the hell happened in the minors last year.

I know they have 2 Rule 5 guys but it’s not a lock they both even survive Spring Training. Maybe one.

He came up as more of a middle infielder. Of course he’s got 1B written all over him!

He's not really an OF anymore right?

Agreed

It kinda seems like they are giving him the opportunity to start though.

It's crazy that their pitching still looks good.

Whoa
