If Q was the only pitching addition, we should be upset (as many said at the beginning of the offseason). However, don't forget they added one of the best over the past couple of years in Lynn. Q in the back of the rotation is fine.

How do you get that though without trading Kopech, Vaughn, Crochet? The Sox don't have as deep of a system to make those quantity or quality deals.

Yeah I'm starting to think it will be Quintana. But if Bauer gets real what exactly? Real about a one year deal?

Seriously, what is this guy's market? Who's after him?

If it's from Hector Gomez, then it's Nelson Cruz anywhere but the Sox, confirmed.

I think it was me haha but it's all good. No need to apologize. I think he was considering Japan, but I don't think it was ever Yankees or Japan.

He's apparently looking for 1/$15 mill. If that backend starter is looking for $10 mill, I'd rather they just spent a little extra money on Tanaka.

Worse than throwing Lopez out there every 5 days?

What's a reasonable offer for Taijuan Walker?

If he is willing to take a minor league deal, I'm good signing him as depth. But I have a feeling this bridge is burned.

Damn. Looks more likely he'd go back there then. You'd at least think he would consider the Asian-popular West Coast.

Richards at $10 mill would be a bad investment. At that price, give me someone who can at least be an innings eater like Q (outside of a freak injury last year).

We'll see if he ends up needing to settle for one.

Give me Taijuan Walker at this point. Or offer Tanaka 1 year/ $11 mill (what Kluber got) and see if he takes it. Tack on an option with like $2 mill buyout for more guaranteed money?

Well no shit lol but one guy has more authority as the owner paying these guys.

Might be better than signing Richards for $10 mill lol

I do get it for this year as I guess there is still the possibility of a lot of double headers due to the virus.

Oh yeah, you are correct.

I think that is what happening, no? If Jimmy states hes going there next year, that sounds like an unofficial agreement to me.

He also hit .147 with a .253 OBP last year.

Hopefully we hear news soon about Colas (if he is signing somewhere or waiting).

The DH should have been sorted out months ago.

I just responded to your other post, but use the $8 mill towards Tanaka.

Looking at Tanaka's numbers last night, I wouldn't be opposed to signing him for our 4th spot.

I agree. I would rather pay for more innings with that rumored $8 mill.
