Those guys are closer to "fat I'd trim on a potential 40-man roster crunch when we add guys" than guys I want to keep in the pen. Crochet could be an option to open the year in the minors (will he be ready by start of the year?). The way I look at it is that even if you move one of them, you still have the other two as your top lefties who fine for MLB pens as far as lefties go, and then Banks and Sousa would either be the last guy on the roster as a long man, or in AAA in case of injury.

I think their entire lineup was right-handed (before the trade). Yeah, who the hell are the Blue Jays gonna play in the OF? Are they gonna sign 2 OFers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recent experience league with with TJS has 0 players in the last 3 years who had TJS coming back in fewer than 14 months and the large majority either taking 16+ months or having setbacks that push them past 18 months, which strongly suggests to me he will not be ready to start the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Another thing I wonder about is with the Sox having two open roster spots right now, are they looking to claim some of these waiver guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that it feels light.  I would take Teo in a heartbeat, even though the Sox need LH power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 yeah trying to reconstruct this deal from the Sox perspective you are probably talking about something like Reynaldo Lopez and Norge Vera, but lefty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrifield is more of a utility guy, so I doubt they would want him in the OF full-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
