I was thinking the same. Maybe not right away but maybe eventually. Probably get the extra year back, though it shouldn’t last long I guess. Until someone gets DFA’d or traded.

Only value he’s going to bring is innings. Would be shocked and glad if a team actually gives up something for him but it ain’t happening.

I’m almost certain Sox would have kicked in money since they had to pay him anyway.

Well, if Sosa is here, I’d rather see him and Shewmake up the middle than Lopez and DeJong.

Can’t lose if you can’t play!

Isn’t it obvious!? They brought in Chris Flexen, Mike Soroka, Paul “Too Tall” DeJong, Nicky “Naperville” Lopez, Martin Maldonado, and 2023 KBO MVP, Erick Fedde!

Why was it a day game today? I get because it’s warmer during the day but why play tomorrow night instead of during the day?

Because it doesn’t matter if they win 59 games or 63 games.

They won’t trade him, but he will cover some innings. I’ve grown numb to the point where I just don’t care. Maybe they let Nastrini make a few starts here and send him back down when Clevinger is ready. Can recoup the extra year of control.

With the Sox being on the hook for the buyout if they didn’t move him, I’m sure they were willing to send cash in a trade.

I don’t think the Sox would have picked up their half of the option.

Yep, that’s about all he’s bringing.

No upside to this move other than innings

How about non-Covid season haha

Fucked up thing is that no matter how bad we are, we can't at least think about who could be available at the top of the draft (picks 1-3) since we have, at lowest, 10th overall.

If he gets into the 6th inning only giving up 3 against one of the best off-season teams, we’ll take it.

I could maybe see it if they hadn't just gotten Stassi before. I still would have just brought someone in on a cheaper deal or MiLB deal to compete with Lee for a spot.

Pray for a rainout today or tomorrow (or early announced PPD on Wednesday) to push that 5th starter spot back more for the extra year of control. Seems logical to have someone else make the start/bullpen game though if played...

No, you’re not wrong.

Looking at the lineup, you know it’s bad when your third, possibly second, best hitter is a bottom third of the league first baseman. Just ugly.

March Madness > game 3 of baseball season for a team 100-loss bound

Death, taxes. Eloy Jimenez annual IL stints

Play Shewmake.

Rather see this than DeJong and Lopez.

They burned $4M with that signing. Waste of time.
