Al’s first. Portillos credited him

For what its worth.  This offseasons "insiders" have had a much better hit rate then Hector did during the Machado offseason.

More like explain why they did that 

Except it wouldn't be hard at all to sign both Joc and Hendriks if they even gave a half ass attempt at making a financial commitment to maximize their chances to win a title in this window.

I agree. Thus far having these guys has made it fun.

Going after Lynn and Hendriks would support the idea that they are going after certain players with edge like James Fox said

Hendricks and Quintana would be amazing.  Let's be positive team!!  Go Sox!!  Finish these deals Sox!

Of course, but the combo of Jerry being cheap and the pandemic has made Hahn have to try to piece it all together.

I’m all in on Hendricks, want him so bad. I think these guys do have some credibility but we should be cautious given his agent is Dan Lozano. Could be effing with us the same way he did with machado 

Yeah he is using Chicago to string it out and get another bidder again.

Hendriks will sign in March.

With San Diego.

And FO will say they had the high bid.

The more I think about it, they need one more lefty bat unless they give Vaughn an extension.

Yup, he’s been about as good as it gets the last two years:

 

Hendriks has clearly been the best reliever, but that chart is another demonstration of fangraphs idiotic war formulas. Only in fangraph's crazed world did Joakim Soria, Hansel Robles, Wander Sueno, Raisel Iglesias, etc out perform Colome in that period, and I'll take that to the bank

Schwarber.....get it done...1 yr/5m.

Nah he will get more than that (similar time Eaton) and will go somewhere he gets more at bats. Bruce mentioned Yanks, Angels and Jays.

Imagine come October having Hendriks, Bummer, & Crochet in the 7th, 8th, & 9th to close things out.  And holy fuck if Burdi ever puts it together.

I want them introduced at the same press conference, so Jose can say "Liam and me, we're going to fuck you up."

I wonder if La Russa will continue the tradition of having Cordero face 33% more batters than each of our top five relievers

Fucking Quintana, man

Eh, Quintana doesn't really move the needle, we will really need Cease to step it up or for Kopech to be good right out of the gate. But if they indeed sign Q, Hendriks and re-sign Colome I could definitely say this is an improved club.

And yet I'd still feel like it was overall a disappointment and that the Sox did not optimize their window and go after the big FAs like they should have.

What a bizarre situation this is.

The only reliever that got the job done in game 3

At least he spelled Eaton and Quintana right. Hendriks ACB !

97 appearances in 222 games is scary. Thats a ton of wear and tear; A's really got their money worth. Would be a fine signing but wish the resources were allocated to something more reliable than a late inning reliever. Hes awesome though if he can stay healthy and maintain his stuff which is always a concern for relievers.

I don't think Colome gave up anything either and Crochet for the short time he lasted.
