Bob Sacamano

When you’re talking about a couple of week, I think it’s fine to leave him down. Plus, we’re not competing so there’s really no urgency to have him on the roster day 1.

Yeah, that would have been perfect. Give a few starts to Kopech and then hand the ball off to Nastrini.

Good call. I just tossed $20 on Mariners U87.5 Wins on DK.

Least shocking signing.

So the bench would be: Stassi, Mendick, Pillar, Grossman?

Maybe they will do that. Go with an extra reliever the first 5 games, go Nastrini game 6.

Banks?

You’re right, eventually they would have to extend a star player that is represented by Robert. But I feel like if you could try to extend Colson on a team friendly deal (that buys out a year or two of free agency), maybe next offseason, go for it.

No, the comment was that he’d rather extend Robert than Colson.

Scott Boras is also his agent so any thought to extend him is already fucked.

Have a feeling they will just pick up someone who gets cut by another team who’s been in camp with a team.

Straw checks all of Getz boxes of strong defender, no bat.

I wanted this dude in 2021. And he would have been a good signing. Better than the ghost of Adam Eaton

Nope

Not sure if thread worthy, but today is the first opt out date for veterans on MiLB deals (who qualify) to opt out if they choose. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/03/31-veterans-with-opt-out-opportunities-looming-this-week.html For the Sox, the group includes: Jesse Chavez, Brad Keller (doesn’t sound like he will given he was a later sign and recovering from injury, also seems likely to pitch at the MLB for us at some point), Dominic Leone, Mike Moustakas, Kevin Pillar and Bryan Shaw.

Sorry

Seemed that way based on last year.

Imagine if this was someone like Trevor Bauer instead of Ohtani lol they would use every ounce of resources to get him.

I think he’ll be fine in his opener long-relief role.

Would have maybe offered 1/$6M. Pitch decent and you're traded to a contender mid-season.

That's fair and understandable haha

It was only his second year as a starter so he was probably wearing down at that point.

I miss MLBN on Youtube TV.

There's already a thread that was created 20 mins ago.

Yeah, this isn't like how it was 2 years ago. We play our shitty division less.
