You know that the "payroll" will not go up much with the financial difficulties this year. Bauer would be an upgrade but those resources can be used more effectively elsewhere. I don't see what would be more effective for this team next year than a top of the rotation starting pitcher, especially if he is not looking for a long contract. The offense will be even better next year with a healthy Moncada, Vaughan, and anyone else in RF imho.

Any more than that, then its not worth the risk.

RF imo is the only other place to spend those resources and there isn’t anyone out there that’s going to change the game. You can use your trade capital to find a long term solution at rf.

September 20, 20205 yr 11 minutes ago, Rowand44 said: Where? Right field would be my preference. I really don't see any help coming from inside the organization. The Sox have a great offense but as we see hitters especially young hitters are prone to slumps and inconsistency. A veteran bat there can stabilize it.
