He was dealt for a relief prospect just last year. Why not a second time?

Remy as well.

Yeah give him time to improve on defense.

It's because Benintendi's salary is over 20% of the commitment, closer to 25% (working with those numbers).

I think you're going to have to tell teams: we'll eat the cost of the buyout for 2025, and we are willing to pay down half of whatever is remaining when he comes back and take back the best offer you can get with those parameters.

Pretty simple understanding really.

True that also works for me. AV sucks. Over a month into the season and no home runs from your 1B lol

Where did you get it from if you don’t mind me asking? Obviously I’m interested in buying one but seeing if maybe it was cheaper option haha

I was thinking maybe calling Remillard up gives them an easy DFA to promote Walsh and send down AV down. Then I looked at Walsh’s stats at AAA. Still possible I guess if he starts hitting there I guess.

Thought there was a very real chance he’d be a slight upgrade: defense and power. Thats about it. TA was just that bad last year.

Yeah, the GM played that beautifully honestly.

Yeah, dude had another year and a half control over what Cease had. And cheap.

No, it’s not a very good free agent class. Go get Alonso though. f*** it. Next year should be better than this year but I still wouldn’t expect them to be competitive.

Fedde is on a 2-year deal and probably a trade chip this summer.

That’s a good route to go. I really want one and was thinking of just going blank or a legend player.

So was I

Any DFA potential claims out there?

Yep. They did need bodies so it did make sense but this was never going to be a one-sided deal in favor of the Sox if Soroka did not bounce back.

All in favor of referring to him as "AH-T" (or AHT), say I. I will never spell that name right.

wtf

Well, we do know we were getting about 3 non-tender candidates in that deal (Soroka, Lopez, Shewmake).

Yeah, maybe stick him in pen as a long-reliever and if he ends up being good, use him in higher leverages. But yeah, he's been bad.

Pillar with 2 HR today. Shoulda kept him (for defense at least) over Grossman.

“The throw comes into third. Good thing it wasn’t a hard throw.” You assume Benintendi can throw the ball hard ha
