Why they still have Joe Ryan, I have no idea. I’m all in favor of them letting him continue to rot there though.

Twins are reaching Sox levels of incompetence. They should have traded Lopez a long time ago.

Well Jerry would be out of the picture by the time Murakami’s contract is over if they extend him. And honestly, even if Murakami is good but not great, all the Japanese attention and sponsorships will pay for that contract in no time. I’m just tired of the perpetual rebuild mentality where they ship out anyone worth a damn. Time to start building a winning team.

The clock on Jerry is ticking, and even if you assume he’s immortal, this team has ZERO guaranteed contracts on the books after 2027. They could give Murakami whatever AAV he’s looking for and their payroll would still be nothing. There is no excuse to not keep him if he’s as advertised.

Or you can open the checkbook to keep good players on your team for years to come. That’s an idea too.

This kid is unreal.

ReyLo was never on the Red Sox. But still, being teammates on 5 different teams would be crazy.

I really hope he can help recruit Seiya to the Sox next offseason.

Lol

If the Sox who could turn Adrian Houser, who was never really any good into a quality pitcher, I have faith that they can fix Fedde who they have already fixed before. I would have preferred someone better obviously, but whatever.

I’m laughing at how they are clowning Getz for this yet got Pauley’s first name wrong.

My god you guys argue about everything.

It’s incredible how bad this organization is at everything.

Eisert gives up way too many hits and his stuff is bad across the board. I am not comfortable when he comes into a game. I’d definitely prefer Banda to him.

He’s a no-brainer claim if he makes it to waivers.

If this means Skubal will leave after 2026, I’ll take this trade off from the Sox perspective. Valdez is good but he’s definitely not on Skubal’s level.

Fair. It will be interesting to see if either of them force the issue in spring. Would be a nice dilemma to have.

Not that I’m advocating for it, but how would it be any different than calling up Grant Taylor last year and putting him in the bullpen?

Showing up his catcher cost him millions. Teams are probably staying away from him just because of that one incident.

Spring training is coming up fast and a lot of SP’s are still available. Given that the Sox can promise whoever they sign a rotation spot, I wonder if that could help them land someone. Similar to how Hays signed here because he can get everyday at-bats.

They bought a time machine this offseason too. Wow. 😉

I’ve always wondered how much “cash considerations” are in a trade like this.

So much for sneaking him through waivers.

Do we think they still have money to add a free agent SP?

How I feel as well. They must really believe in Sandlin.
