Except Delmonico can't play defense.

He'll be optioned for Eloy.

Nice suggestion. Hopefully they gave that player some thought.

Yeah I get that feeling too. For the love of God, just offer the most cash.

"Best friend growing up?" Dude's 7 years older. I'd find it hard to believe they were best friends as kids.

I don't think he has signed yet. But probably really close though.

Pollock, maybe? But I don't think the Sox want him. And neither do I.

How would that signal the end of Harper lol Jon Jay won't block Bryce fucking Harper (granted it's always been unlikely they would hand out 2 huge contracts).

If they don't offer the most money, I'm going to label all this as their best effort and won't feel bad for them.

Yeah. Late in game: Jay shifts over to RF, Engel comes into CF.

Still just offer the most money. These type of moves probably don't move the needle much. Alonso one guaranteed year and I doubt Jay gets more than 2, probably 1.

How bad is he in CF? Can he be average in our small OF?

Valencia next confirmed.

Manny I believe. I half-kidding threw this idea out last week.

Yep. Then you're back to where if you just made Engel the starter. Definitely ok with Leury as the opening day starter in CF.

Yeah this always seems to be the case.

Good call. He was DFA'd once by us so he seems like an ideal candidate.

Oh yeah that's true. But that barely counts lol

I don't think anyone was really discrediting him. More the way he went about it. Like the whole "I know something but I gotta text someone else to make sure before I can post anything." Text the person first before jumping posting saying that you know something and you want to share it. With that said, hopefully he can share more with us this week.

They definitely have the option to flip him if he's doing great (should always be willing to listen on relievers) but he may be part of the team for a competitive year or two if a lot goes right.

Yeah they're both good. And McCann is just a backup catcher who doesn't have that much influence on the season. And Alonso is being used as a pawn.

Why?

Yeah same, but my comment was a more realistic take.

Sign Manny and Gio Gonzalez and I'm good with next year's team. Not that I expect them to, but they could possibly catch lightning in a bottle and contend for the division with some strides from the youngsters.

Can't wait for Greg and Caulfield's hot takes.
