I guess if you had known the Sox would sign Eaton for $7M and Dahl would sign for $3M you might not have been as vehemently opposed to my desire to look into Dahl very seriously. There are reasons I made that suggestion.

I was vehemently opposed to signing Dahl? 

I certainly wanted a proven player like Springer but I don't recall being vehemently opposed. 

This was the only post I made about Dahl on this forum.

So no idea what you're talking about, you've got me confused with someone else.

Well you sure argued with me enough about it in the closed Off Season Targets thread.

Cali i linked that thread and my one post in it about Dahl. 

You should probably stop putting words in my mouth; you've done it quite a bit.

You are right and I am sorry for that . It was Two Gun Pete who I was arguing with over Dahl. My sincere apologies. I will delete the post where I said that about you.

No Biggie, no need to delete anything.

Many forum members are underestimating Eaton IMO.

I think think are estimating him.

Dahl for 7 million actually would've been better than Eaton at 7. Dahl at 3 million shows how stupid our FO is this offseason - whether it's Hahn, KW, JR or whoever else. And in an offseason like this, where there is penny pinching, they should've realized that they shouldn't have been first to the table for FAs. 

Dahl was injured last season.  Shoulder.  I don't know if he will be able to go at the start of ST.  If not, that would decrease his value.

The Sox made it clear they signed Eaton because of his talent and his attitude. Eaton has talent if he is healthy and putting it together. His attitude that he brings to the table was important to them. It is a big gamble for sure, but it was their plan. 

This is a great market to nab some outfielders 

i hope they are still in on guys like Schwarber and pederson, hell even brantley

Dahl is arb eligible through ‘23 with a baseline now of 3 million. No reason the Sox couldn’t or shouldn’t have beaten that if they are looking for production at a budget. Definition of a buy low signing. Good move for the Rangers though

He obviously wouldnt have been available let alone signable at 3 million if it weren’t for injuries

Eaton is legit if healthy but he may not be around every day. I don't mind if he is edgy.

Would you guys have been ok with that deal with Dahl being our starting RF?

And if not, then Dahl isn’t taking that deal with us when he can take the same deal with another team and actually start. 

Not really, but I would have brought him in along with Eaton or whoever else we signed.

I like that he is edgy.  We have lots of nice guys.  Edgy is a good counterbalance to all that nice.

I would have been definitely fine with that, but I don’t think he would sign on for that when he can go elsewhere and get more guaranteed playing time. 

This is one the Sox should be sniffing around.

Dahl is most likely concerned with playing time. No way he signs with us since it wouldnt be wide open.

I would prefer them to go back to this instead of The Rockers.

Renfroe signed with the Red Sox.
