They really don't have room in the budget for anything better and there aren't really any decent MI options outside of Correa/Turner and those aren't happening. 

Go with Romy

Re: starting rotation. First decision they have to make is whether to offer Giolito a contract or let him walk. I’m not sure he’s worth the $10M contract he’s going to get thru arbitration.

You're not going to get a pitcher with better upside in FA for $10M.

Elvis was a great breath of fresh air for this season and he resurrected his career a bit to get another contract but it shouldn't be here.  He was released by Oakland for a reason, you cannot use your money signing him imo.

Agreed, the Sox have spent their money so insanely inefficiently the past few offseasons, that they simply cannot afford a $12m veteran role player. At all. 

graveman? wtf lol

GO YOU WHITE SOX!!!!

That's certainly an option.

What’s the upside if his fastball is sitting at 90 mph?

Chuck didn't sound that confident that the post game would be a winning edition 

1-0

2-0

3-0

lmao

We can play the what if game all day. What if Kopech and Lynn never got hurt? The bottom line is the starting rotation has been above average (it’s better than Cleveland’s in fact).

Yeah, who could have saw the guy 50 pounds overweight with bad knees and the guy who threw 84 total innings over the past four seasons possibly getting hurt.  Please find better excuses than this Rick.

Whoever dubbed him Kendall Walkman was spot on

I think his 2019-2021 has earned Giolito the opportunity to right himself. 

If he can't throw mid-90s next year, then the leash should be short. 

Graveman's velo is way down so this is not surprising.

I’m not the one playing the what if game, you are. And the bottom line is the starting rotation has been above average despite its flaws. That’s just a fact.

By definition the leash is one year.

He's not if he's averaging 91 with the heater.

So when they bring him back next season you won’t criticize the front office right?

It should be a Keuchel leash. DFA him if he still sucks by Memorial Day. 

What a bunch of schmoes.

If there’s someone pushing to take his spot, sure.
