"Right now" being the key words. Off-season isn't over yet.

Well it's basically a slam dunk he starts on opening day (barring injury) because TA has to serve a 2-game suspension.

I know I'm trying to place a name on him but it's not coming to me lol

I thought about him at some point during last season. Wouldn't hate it for 2B to go along with Conforto in RF.

Nah TLR just loves him.

Cubs signed Clint Frazier to one year deal. They could potentially have control of him for 3 years if he does well enough.

Love him as a sub. Hopefully they add someone else to play 2B.

Yeah I gotta see the dollars before I assume if he's likely starter or not.

No one does but it's a signing most of us could totally see happening.

Tomorrow isn’t possible. edit: nevermind. My days are mixed up. My bad.

Pirates sign Roberto Perez, 1 year/$5 mill.

Did we lose the DH spot.

Is anyone even linked to Story? It's tough to put him on a team. I would have thought Rangers if Seager stayed in LA. I would suggest a one year deal back to Colorado but man I don't think that is at all likely. Dodgers maybe for SS with Turner sliding back to 2B now that Seager is not an option?

Yeah, that payroll number is straight up gross.

Agreed (I didn't mean to include myself in the word *us* but more the board in general). Honestly didn't want him for what I thought he would get (slightly more than he got).

Yeah, unfortunately other people here were delusional and thought the realistic people were crazy when they said this would not happen. I do think Conforto is realistic (especially at that price) and I hope we get him.

LOL yeah, I'm not even really mad they didn't sign those guys because I thought some of them were unrealistic or I didn't want for what they would sign for. More mad that suddenly we are the ones who expected it lol Ok, I may be mad they haven't filled RF or 2B yet and there's about to be a long lay off (eh, I don't really count being able to discuss trades as much because things can change with a new CBA), but not mad they didn't sign the guys that signed.

You may not think but Harold led us to believe the team thought it was realistic. Granted, the front office has been delusional in the past but still.

Lol can’t wait for this cycle to continue next off-season!

It’s a little maddening that people here were optimistic saying they will sign a big free agent or two, even signing someone to a 9-figure contract and basically called the people who were realistic overly pessimistic like there’s no track record of them not spending lol and now the people that we’re optimistic are saying it was never realistic.

If whatever was posted yesterday about then having a budget of $180 mill is true then I guess we can kiss the Conforto dream good bye.

Yeah there's definitely still a chance we can have a good off-season. Let's reel in Conforto today to at least get one need filled.

We don't need to add stars at every spot but man I will be disappointed if we finally get that Joc/Engel platoon. I wouldn't consider Conforto a star player but a good player that fits a big need. Is it possible signing him will be the biggest contract given out by the Sox in history? Sure, but that's not really saying a lot.

Wow. We've gone from wishing they would make some big moves to accepting they are good enough to win the division and that's enough to have a chance.
