This aged well.

Why is he odd man out? I would think Cueto would be out of the guys they lost.

I’m just not sure Sox will spend enough on the backup job. People here said the $4 mill Piña got was too rich for us.

I guess in that case, you would definitely have to deal Vaughn for pitching or a long-term 2B.

Yeah I’d do backflips if they got Segura straight up for Kimbrel haha

I was thinking the same reading through this thread lol

Yeah, seriously lol

Wtf

Hopefully Semien or Conforto! Has to be right?

Yeah especially on an NL team that would be rough. Maybe Yankees if they want to ditch Sanchez?

You think he will sign to be a backup or go to a team with a deep lineup that could start him?

Yeah I remember they had a segment on him on MLBN back in like June. His mechanics this year were different from the time he was with Arizona and even 2020 with the Jays (there was a change in mechanics post-trade in 2020 when he was with Jays).

It would be nice if they actually moved Abreu down when he struggles but he seems entrenched in the 3/4 spot of the lineup no matter what.

Some activity around the league and some moves by the Sox would be nice before the lock out.

I never said they don’t make serious offers. But they felt more confident making that deal for 5 years rather than other star pitchers who are younger 7+ years. Having said that, I think Semien could be realistic because he’s not a guy signing for $200+ mill since he’s 31 and could get a high AAV 5 year (or 6) deal rather than a player who can sign for 10 years $300+ mill. Conforto also realistic I would say because he’s not a star getting a crazy deal. 9 figures probably but not you know, 2/300 mill.

It’s not so much that they are “fake” offers. It’s more that they are trying to get the mega-deal type players at their price which, what they end up signing for is never really the case.

Brantley is in LF (shares LF/DH duties with Alvarez. I think Marte would be CF though like you said.

Thank god. Didn’t really want him.

Zack Greinke.

Agreed.

Yeah sounds like he’s just guessing.

I've been watching the Sam Raimi Spider Man movies with my fiancee since she has never seen them. There's definitely things I like about that series more than the Tom Holland one. I like that the suit isn't high tech and the feeling of not being in someone's else's shadow each movie.

That's fair. Personally not a fan of the Iron Man and Thor (besides third one) movies. Love the characters but not their movies, really.

Seeing Eternals tonight. Figured it was something to do plus $5 day. Not too excited to see it but hopefully it surprises me.

Doesn’t this already happen? You agree to a deal with a player but it’s usually always pending physical so not official until after that.
