November 27, 20205 yr A Joc/Engel or Leury platoon would give you similar production to Springer at a fraction of the cost/risk involved. It almost makes too much sense for the Sox to do it. Edited November 27, 20205 yr by GermanSoxFan
November 27, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, Yearnin' for Yermin said: Joc is such an obvious fit. Signing Joc and Bauer is the way to go. That should be the plan, but not optimistic the old man will pony up for Bauer.

November 27, 20205 yr I’d only be okay with Joc if it means they signed Ozuna to DH. They need a big bat at one of the 2 spots. Joc is nothing more than a band aid in my opinion. They need to be prepared for an Abreu regression and Joc doesn’t make up for that. Edited November 27, 20205 yr by Rey21

They could, theoretically, keep Vaughn down another season....idk if that's a good idea, but whatever. If that's the case, I see them signing Michael Brantley for DH. I do think that whomever suggested a Pederson/Engel/Garcia platoon for a fraction of the price of Springer has a really good point. Edited November 27, 20205 yr by Jack Parkman

I’m fine with Brantley as long as it means Springer is here as well. I know I sound like a unrealistic jag bag but Jerry has to spend. I’ll be fine with a platoon in RF as long as they have Ozuna. They just again need a another big bopper in the lineup.

November 27, 20205 yr What would a joc deal look like? I feel like he’s one guy we have been talking about forever...
November 27, 20205 yr 10 minutes ago, Rey21 said: What? Unless you plan on trading Vaughn for pitching, paying Ozuna to DH and maybe rotate with Eloy in LF is a poor use of resources. Fantastic bat, but right handed and not a RF.

Fantastic bat, but right handed and not a RF. If he was anything like last year it definitely wouldn’t be a poor use of resources, again this is assuming they’re not signing Springer. Signing Ozuna makes, or should make Vaughn expendable in search for pitching.

Signing Ozuna makes, or should make Vaughn expendable in search for pitching. Ok great, he's still a DH only bat at this point, and you still need a RF, a closer, a backup catcher, and a 4th starter; all assuming you have acquired a cost controlled #3 starter or better for a package headlined by Vaughn. It just doesn't seem like a smart use of available resources, nor does it seem feasible to me.

Would tie a bow on an insanely bad offseason for this team although if I had to choose from this it would be Brantley, Odorizzi, and find the 2nd pitcher via trade Edited November 27, 20205 yr by HahnsKiddieTable

November 27, 20205 yr VAUGHN will be the DH. And it wouldn't surprise me if he signs an contract extension like Robert and Eloy. Lock him up long term for cheap. There I said it Edited November 27, 20205 yr by SoxSteve
