He’ll do better than 1 year 8 million

You could sign him to a 2 year deal where he gets very little year 1, and then $8M in year 2. And if I could bet on it, I would bet the Sox come to some sort of agreement like that.

He had an option for $14M so was unlikely to be a free agent anyway. Good move lower the AAV for luxury tax purposes.

Probably not

On this date 13 years ago, Bochy won a World Series with the Giants beating the Rang

LaRussa over anyone is a miss really.

Caulfield is in shambles

They honestly just need filler, good or bad, especially in the rotation. No one is really that close to being ready where you would pencil them into the rotation day 1. Take chances on you guys can possibly flip.

I’m actually ok with Hedges. This team is going to suck. Let him help the pitching and young catching. Just hope that whenever he bats, it’s in a situation he can lay down a sac bunt.

Won’t need to sign as many free agent pitchers thus off-season* haha

I guess you'd be subtracting Clevinger's 3.3 WAR as well.

I'm sure people are watching and just haven't come to this thread. I've watched all 3 games fully and haven't signed into Soxtalk at all while watching.

He was making the team regardless of the Eloy injury. (yes I know you’re joking obviously)

He started improving before the trade. Who knows if it would have continued here though.

Where would one find said streams?

It’s been refreshing seeing starting pitchers goes 5+ consistently in the playoffs this year rather than the plug being pulled around 3-4 innings (if that even).

It doesn’t but they literally got to the playoffs with 2 of the worst OFs in the corners in Schwarber and Castellanos.

I think it’s more that we didn’t sign him and yet, here we are playing slow 1B in the OF the last 3 years.

Perfect blueprint for what not to do during/post-rebuild

There’s no desire from the fanbase. Just connecting dots.

And then would still need another quality arm to slide into 4-spot. Permanent marker Kopech into 5 spot.

Blue-chippers? How about even quality major leaguers lol

I still have a feeling they'll pair Korey Lee with a veteran. In that case, Lee can at least be in a platoon with a lefty/switch-hitter. Korey Lee also has 1 option left so not completely necessary to HAVE to carry him I guess. Already 25 though so maybe at least give him a shot in a platoon and learn with a veteran.

Agreed. Snell is a bit older but he can still get a decent sized deal. Even a shorter term, high AAV one.
