Buster Olney thinking he is right that Tim Anderson will be a free agent next year. Soxtalk:

I too had to Google it because it didn't seem right lol

They have Voit there too. I just feel like they will add a left-handed bat to play 1B. Seems like a good opportunity for a team like Milwaukee to try to grab both? Lots of pitching but lots of uncertainty in the lineup.

So picking up Donaldson to play 3B and IKF to play SS, LeMahieu should be back at 2B. Do they send Gleyber somewhere now?

The big bats are all still out there. Grab one.

As I said in my post, no. Just not sure where the confidence to sign any of them comes from as history dictates otherwise. Would love for them to prove me wrong and spend more than $73 million on a free agent for the first time.

The money will be spent! Seriously, I get why people say certain guys (Conforto) are a no-brainer of a fit but that honestly doesn’t mean shit if they aren’t willing to sign him or have another plan of what to do with the position. Not that he has signed yet and there is still time but I just don’t know where the confidence comes from.

Conforto or we riot.

How expanded are we talking? And for how long? I haven’t seen that yet.

??

No Freeman then?

Well, fuck cutting payroll I guess lol

That moment you realize the Opening Day double play duo is (currently) Harrison and Leury ?

With the lineup we have around him, he was a good fit for the 9-spot. Oh well, the move is behind us though.

Can we get a RF today? Maybe a Piñeda signing as well?

Raudy Read I think?

Ha it’s one thing when he’s going to be on your bench, but is he currently our starting 2B?

I didn’t realize it was TJS but good call haha

If you get him cheap, wouldn’t it be kinda nice to have another later in the year when guys are possibly hurt?

So you’re thinking Manaea is on his way?

He signed back in the KBO.

?

There it is. The aging veteran one year deal who is likely to be released at some point. Oh wait, maybe I should see what they do with RF before announcing that haha

That makes sense. Have to upgrade over Burr/Ruiz.
