Everybody saying that the Sox should keep Leury and just use him properly, there's no proper use for a guy with a .500 OPS and a 42 OPS+. There are plenty of guys (Gonzalez, Mendick, Sosa, Harrison) who can perform Leury's role better. Time to start shedding useless guys.

Diekman can go to. Eat however much of his salary you need to in order to get him off the 2023 roster.

A few things:  No way they're signing Carlos although surrendering a 1st rd pick to sign a guy they refused to give a QO to would be vintage Sox.

Oscar Colas gets a full year at AAA in his 24 year-old season? Um, no.

Personally, I'm not so sure they keep Mendick.  He turns 29 in like a week.  But otherwise, I agree with most of it. Well thought out.

 

Mendick is going to be a 29 year old making pre-arb salary, plays multiple positions well, and hits a little bit. No reason not to have him on the team.

After more thought I agree about Colas. Can't afford to get 2 OF anyway so make Colas the starting RF.

I know they won't sign Carlos, but they should. Put him at the top of the rotation with Cease and Kopech and that's an A+ 1-2-3
