Huh? By signing more 16-year olds, who will be ready by the time his deal is up?

We might as well trade some of our bonus pool to the Dodgers as well (although it seems like they probably have him anyway).

Posted this in the international signings thread but I guess it's also relevant here.

We got one:

No lol

The Japan Dodgers. That's a hell of a 6-man rotation: Snell, Yamamoto, Glasnow, Ohtani, Sasaki, and Gonsolin.

WTH

No matter how much talent you have, you need luck to win it all.

I’m saying on other agreements they are possibly breaking on. I already know they got Morel. It’s literally in the post I’m responding to lol

We should swoop

Yeah most likely. Team will suck in probably 25 or 26. Unless a prospect already in house takes off or we get someone else in a Robert trade later. Edit: they can probably afford to just give Colson 2 years to prove he can’t play the position.

Win cheaply as possible

Wouldn’t it mess with his head more if he changed positions from SS to 3B in his rookie year?

Wouldn’t actually shock me at all if he beats out Thaiss for the backup spot.

Why? They have Rojas for a year. You can afford to play Montgomery at SS and see if he can play while the team is bad.

It feels like one should just so they can both play behind the plate regularly but both got to AAA last year. I feel like they will alternate every game between C and DH?

Bring back Tim Anderson and we're cooking

This is a pretty dramatic take.

Yep. Need to see results before buying too much into it.

Definitely a team that benefited playing the worst team in history 13 times last year. Did not belong in the playoffs. Tigers too.

Ironically, the starting pitching isn't even why they lost in the postseason in 2024. Granted, that may not be the case if they advanced.

It says "additional" though. They already announced more prior. And it's updated in this thread.

This is sad. Maybe one day Soxfest will be back to what it once was.

Completely agree on Eflin. Tough to say they don't have any quality guys but yeah, they should be going for more stability than 41-year old Charlie Morton and an unknown in 35-year old rookie Sugano. By my count, they've only really got 3 starters, depending on how those older guys do.
