They still have other OF spots to fill right?

I think he would be.

Smith already signed.

They're not going to have 5 guys on the roster who only play 1 position (1B/C). Collins should be playing every day. Ideally, they'll have McCann (C ), Leury (IF/OF), a defensive first OF and a platoon OF bat for Mazara or another infielder.

It does feel like they traded for Mazara in case they couldn't acquire anyone else.

They're not carrying 3 on the MLB roster. Not without an injury to Abreu or Edwin.

Agreed. He'll take a one year deal to play full time.

I would think Puig could do better than as a platoon bat. If he were willing though, I'd take him as a platoon bat/fallback option to Mazara if he struggles.

Trade as he has no future in a starting role going forward or he goes to AAA as depth.

Unless they go with someone like Hunter Pence.

It wouldn't hurt to have a potential platoon bat on the bench just in case. Luckily, they have Leury who has done a pretty good job against lefties in his career.

If he's healthy, it would seem pretty certain unless he's pitching like shit and they straight up release him the second year.

I agree. Just go with Edwin. Collins should have gotten more of a chance last year but oh well.

Uhhhhh we don't even know what you do lol

Traded for Bundy too.

His father's funeral is today so I kinda think this would happen Thursday or Friday if it happens this week.

Lol its not really a big deal. They make the move just in case the other ones sign somewhere else. Like I said above, just make him available and deal him somewhere else. Sox weren't the only team in on him at the time.

Well they could trade him. Other teams besides the Sox were in on him.

This.

He would definitely make more sense if they didn't stupidly sign Abreu to that extension.

Jesus, I'm having flashbacks of all the routine fly balls Alex Rios dropped in RF for the Sox lol edit: granted, it may only be a few but even one dropped routine fly ball hit right at you is too many if you're an MLB OF.

Could always move Castellanos after this season. Didn't give up anything for him.

Pretty sure their entire infield (not counting catcher obviously) consists of switch hitters.

Pence as a platoon bat (if they have Collins at DH, he can pick up some at bats there too) with Mazara would be fine with me.

Indians still look solid (Kluber didn't contribute last year) until they deal off Lindor (but that also depends on what they bring back).
