I don't see much of anything happening with the Sox until after the new CBA is agreed on whenever that may be. Conforto is Boras. If Conforto is expected to get near $20 for 4 or 5 years, he's not coming here period. I am just hoping it is a really fun 11/30, but you are probably right. Deadlines are good.

Teams trying to contend can't afford to plan around guys in their system who might be good in two or three years.

So I laugh at your laugh emoji.

You have probably seen him play more than I have, I would be interested in why you like him so much. Look at his stats vs. RHP. In his career, he is a .265 hitter, but with a .371 OBP and a .502 SLG% and with an acceptable SO rate. It's even better, in recent years. He could quite possibly be our best hitter vs. RHP. It's enough for me to get "excited".

Conforto is pretty easily been a better hitter over their careers. OPS - Conforto = 824. Moncada = 784. OPS+ Conforto = 124. Moncada = 113 More power, more on base. and left handed. Gimme Conforto for our lineup

He works counts ands takes talks. He bats from the left side. He's legitimately exactly what we need.
