Creative way to carry a 14th arm in the post-season. Granted, how many bullpen guys do you need? You use 4 starters and 9 relievers already in the playoffs.
Soroka signed with the Nats to be a SP for $9M. Def too steep of a price for our Sox.

We traded Fedde and Crochet? We won 41 games with Fedde being here until end of July and Crochet was here all year (granted, had a reduced workload the second half).
Amounts for each team.

Sox have $6,261,600 and have about $2M committed to Cuban infielder Alejandro Cruz, per Jimmy.
I think the argument he’s making is that the team’s pitching dropped off farther than other teams, but I feel like that is tough to say since the talent has also been lacking the last couple of years.
