Expecting the first Sox transaction to be Leury related, maybe a lifetime extension to bridge off of the one from before the lockout

Or for Kimbrel, since the front office and owner usually has to double down on being right.

At least they admitted failure with Cesar Hernandez early in the process.  There's that.

Bryant is probably getting a $150M contract. That's out of the Sox price range. 

Get out of here with that shit

Just now, Jack Parkman said:

Get both Marte and Conforto. Marte plays 2B. Conforto plays RF. Profit. 

Now you’re talking!

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but Sheets being involved in a trade for one of the Oakland SP's would make a lot of sense.

He's a viable, cheap alternative since it seems like a given they'll deal Olson.

Trade him before they realise he sucks at 1B.

I think Sheets is gonna be a beast.

Maybe the A's will fix Sheets' defense like they did with Semien. ?

I think his offensive ceiling is very high and he's an ideal fit for this lineup. But ultimately you can only have so many 1B/DH/corner OF types on one roster.

With Eloy, you're 75% worried about him injuring Moncada, Anderson and especially Robert.  We only have a replacement for one of those positions...because you can't count on Leury to have a repeat season.

I missed these 100% obviously and completely rational Caufield posts.

Who do people prefer for RF?  Stats are from 2017 to 2021.

• Player A: 2,438 PA | 128 wRC+ | .364 OBP | 111 HRs | +0.1 OAA/100 in RF | 138 wRC+ vs RHP
• Player B: 2,489 PA | 130 wRC+ | .376 OBP | 102 HRs | -1.4 OAA/100 in RF | 121 wRC+ vs RHP
• Player C: 2,834 PA | 123 wRC+ | .339 OBP | 124 HRs | -0.7 OAA/100 in RF | 114 wRC+ vs RHP

I’d put more faith it their development than it happening here.

I understand. It just...sucks when you don't have a spot for a man like that. If only he could reliably play right field or even second base. Good problem to have?

He could theoretically be the DH but then idk what you do with Vaughn. Dude needs regular ab's.

Semien taking such a massive leap defensively after leaving was a brutal look for the organization. Ron Washington made it sound like he retaught him how to play defense.

But I think the Sox have progressed a lot from that point.

I'm assuming one of then is Conforto. I wonder who the other one is. To answer your question, probably A.

That's not Conforto and Castellanos is it? The only problem is, they are trending in different directions lately.

I think this is right on the money, assuming there isn't some sort of possible prospect swap with a Kimbrel return and/or Tony doesn't want him moved.

Player A has to be Conforto, but I don't think B is Castellanos.

Player A’s wRC+ is only 138 against RHP (typo on my part). Does that change anything?

Kris Bryant is the other one, right?

Added a Player C as well.  All three are free agent options for RF.

He’s one of the three guys yes.
