Nope.

Of course he’s going to say that now.

Eduardo Escobar please.

I tend to agree with this. We already have a glut of right-handed hitting.

I could definitely see him taking it and building his up innings up and value to be a free agent after 2022 at that $18.4 mill (or whatever it is) salary.

1) When will the 2022 season start: 1-30 days late Will the following players be in the Sox organization on opening day 2022 (whenever that is) Yes or No 2) Garrett Crochet yes 3) Dallas Keuchel yes 4) Craig Kimbrel no 5) Carlos Rodon no 6) Ryan Tepera yes 7) Jake Burger no 8 ) Cesar Hernandez no 9) Gavin Sheets yes 10) Leury Garcia yes 11) Eloy Jimenez yes 12) Andrew Vaughn yes 13) Yan Gomes no 14) Eduardo Escobar yes 15) Marcus Semien no 16) Kris Bryant no 17) Nick Castellanos no 18) Joc Pederson no 19) Other (specify) Conforto (I hope) Could easily see them signing Peterson and platooning him with Engel though. I think Gomes will be a starting catcher somewhere (maybe sign Chirinos like bmags suggested earlier), and only see Hernandez coming back if they re-sign him for cheaper than his option after they fail to add a 2B.

This could have been true had Engel stayed healthy himself.

Well there goes our off-season budget. I kid I kid.

With all the injuries, it looked promising at one point.

This is what I’m thinking. Guy only threw 40 innings total previous two years.

Add catchers to that and I agree. Also, I’d never sit more than one regular a game if I could (obviously guys could be banged up). If your catcher is out, no one else is sitting. No more “Sunday lineups” please.

Well we can expect Tony to start resting guys in April so who really knows.

It’s all about gut feelings and hitting guys like Jake Lamb 3rd or 4th!

Yep. Can really only go up from here

Never. Gotta play and pitch your best to win. It's not like you could just sit him out all series and wait for the ALCS.

Meadows has 3 years of control left. It definitely would not be a straight up deal.

Lol yeah I was about comment that he looked like he was being held against his will.

Accountability? This organization doesn't understand that.

Probably better than that.

Glasnow is missing most if not all of next season which is why the Cubs, (or any rebuilding team) would be turned off. You would only have him for one season where he is making his way back from TJ surgery. Edit: Maybe the Sox should see if they can pull off the same move and eat some of the cost and have him come back at the end of 22, in rotation for 23. edit 2: yes, I know this isn’t realistic

So how do we go about receiving our refunds if we bought ALCS tickets?

Too many corner type, right handed bats.

And I think he can be. Just don't expect anything better than he was this year.

Off-season needs (no particular order): Right Fielder (one that can hit left-handed preferred.) Second Baseman (preferably a lefty but righty could be ok with a lefty in RF) Reliever to replace Kimbrel (whether you decline option or pick it up and trade him somehow) Reliever to replace Kopech (Kopech slides into starting role) Veteran backup C. The time Grandal was out was brutal

Assuming Rodon walks, where are we plugging in another starter? Unless you deal Keuchel somehow, you still have Lynn, Giolito, Cease, and Kopech sliding into a starting role.
