I’m not very excited either. This team doesn’t have much of a chance to go all the way at all unless no one gets hurt and everyone performs like they are supposed to.

Do you think Conforto is still a possibility at this point or should I just stop getting my hopes up?

Bunch of cheap pricks.

This Twins offseason kind of reminds me of the 2015/2016 Sox. Desperately trying to compete while having a very flawed roster that will result in a rebuild. Correa is gone after this season for sure assuming he doesn’t suck.

That would be absolutely incredible.

Robert Hassell would be cool.

Also the Sox tend to not want their interest in a player to be publicly leaked. They like to work behind the scenes.

TA isn’t a free agent until after 2024 and Cease until after 2025. Don’t think signing Conforto to a 4 or 5 year deal really impacts much of anything.

That doesn’t make all that much sense to me as Giolito is really the only young player that will command significant dollars to keep.

Well they should because that isn’t outrageous for a player of Conforto’s caliber.

Don’t have sources but I feel like if the Sox offered Conforto the same contract Castellanos just got, he would take it.

That account is run by like a 15 year old. I promise you they don’t know anything.

MLB Nerds is fraudulent, they don’t know anything.

He pisses me off so much.

I disagree with the take that getting Bellinger isn’t possible. Sure it’s unlikely but that guy was god awful last year and is being paid a lot. I think swapping him for Kimbrel with smaller pieces also going to LA makes sense for both sides.

No, in real life. His presence would’ve helped a lot against McCullers in the playoffs.

He’s a stud against right handers. That’s why you sign him.

Definitely seems like a possibility. Maybe something like Kimbrel++ for Austin Meadows and Sheets++ for Manaea.

If the Soler to the Padres rumors and Castellanos to the Phillies rumors from Twitter are true, who’s even left in the running for Conforto besides the Sox?

Reading between the lines, it sounds like the Sox might be shopping Burger according to what Stone said. Said the stuff about auditioning for 29 other teams and that he needs to play.

Kimbrel + $6 million + peavy44 + Jack Parkman for Bellinger

Didn’t say that but the Tigers are definitely on an upwards trajectory. The Sox are still better but I don’t think the division will be as much of a runaway as it was last year.

He’s not wrong. The Tigers are going to be a problem sooner rather than later.

Those are huge if’s. I don’t think the Sox are even the best team in the AL at this point let alone all of MLB.
