Bob Sacamano

Dude only has 184 MLB innings (111 coming this year), almost 4 years of service time already, and will be a free agent at the age of 27. They've been great to him in my book lol Edit: if he pitches this great and stays healthy the next couple of months and 2 years, he's looking at a long-term deal with an opt-out or 2.

His value was always going to be complicated this season because of the eventual limit of innings. It seemed more likely the past few weeks but now it seems like it won't until the offseason. Edit: a team might have been able work with him and give him 1-inning starts and then had him pitch in postseason but the extension comments hurt that.

They can still use a CF. Although, they could get another LHH corner bat and move Marsh to CF.

Yeah, there's plenty to blame the Sox for in the past decade+, but this was them being blindsided. I guess this just kind of gets lumped in with all the other random shite that happens with this cursed franchise.

Whoever knows

Right. Not this time.

Need the draft to go back to June. It was better then.

Exactly

Nothing can ever go right for this organization. All signs over the last couple of weeks made it seem like a slam dunk that they would cash in on him this trade deadline.

Gonna be Fedde and a bunch of guys that will be traded for lottos. Gotta hit a homer on the Fedde deal. Literally, get some bats.

So in the quote where it says that he wants "a starters workload over pitching out of the bullpen," does that mean prepping as a starter and starting for an inning or two is fine or he wants to go 5+ innings (or deep as possible) into every game? I would think if its the former, then pitching in the playoffs would be no problem right?

I probably would have held onto that and waited to see if my new team was even playoff bound.

They should still make a move for a SP but I don't think they will deal Kjerstad or Cowser to get one.

Yeah I know they were looking for a platoon player. And he has a .894 OPS against lefties this year. To compare, Pham has an .848 OPS. He'll be moved somewhere to platoon.

Trend is trending ha

Hope you're right @Y2Jimmy0!

2024: $17,100,000 (about 2/3 paid now) 2025: $17,100,000 2026: $17,100,000 2027: $15,100,000 I don't know how much they would have to pay for another team to take him. But I would imagine he won't be DFA'd until about May/June 2026 if he is still terrible and no hope of trading him.

He shouldn't have really even sniffed the majors until 2022.

Agreed. Higher probability they package him with Robert/Crochet (they won't...I think) than trade him right now.

Come on JeDi. Do your thing! Edit: for real though. Guy is the king of making the Winter Meetings and Trade Deadline fun haha

I was going to say, looking at the numbers overall, he isn't an upgrade over France. But I guess Arozarena has only been good from June to this point. They just called up Locklear for 1B though.

Yeah they still need bats and still have the ammo to make moves. We play Seattle this weekend. Would be nice if Robert had some great games and left Chicago with the team.

This is kind of how I see it playing out…

Let us know when the Sox are relevant again ?
