Unless they are confident they can acquire a cheap SP via trade. I doubt it too, just trying to think of how going out and spending $10+ on Cruz would logically make sense with obvious holes still on this roster.

Cruz and Archer easy. I don’t think Cruz is signing for $12 but I think Jerry could understand a couple extra....
January 22, 20215 yr 5 minutes ago, Dick Allen said: I'm not buying it. If the Sox have that money to spend, they should spend it on pitching. Could be as simply as they don’t want commit dollars to a pitcher beyond this year. Rising payroll plus a desire to extend Lynn might not leave a ton of money for unnecessary pieces.

Cruz - Archer Elite lineup + elite bullpen + strong 1-2-3 in the rotation. The lineup and bullpen can cover up any mistakes / growing pains coming from the 4-5 spot.
January 22, 20215 yr 3 minutes ago, SonofaRoache said: Nothing to see here for me. Cruz and Archer and let's prepare for the playoffs. Archer is interesting, but I think he’s far riskier than Richards.
January 22, 20215 yr 7 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Those are good questions. Could be what carbon is suggesting and they plan on dealing Vaughn++ for Burnes. Or perhaps Jerry is a little more optimistic about potential fan attendance and is willing to spend a little more to fit Cruz into equation. Even way, he’d be a massive addition for the 2021 season. This could also be one of Tony's guys too. He talked Jerry into it.

Cruz + Archer easily, and that's why Cruz will likely get $14M and Archer will get $5M plus a couple mil incentives.

January 22, 20215 yr Author What I don’t get is if Hector knows it’s happening, why doesn’t he have more specifics like he usually has.

January 22, 20215 yr What did Hector say last week when Cruz was taking batting practice that started all of this?
