Balta1701 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’m going to bet they spend more money replacing Zavala this offseason and get less production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be fun paying top dollar for an over the hill catcher simply because we need a clubhouse enforcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Seby sucks but controllable thru 27. I’d have just cut Yaz and figured it out later. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Kind of surprised they just didn’t pull the plug on Yaz. But maybe they see an opportunity. I doubt he gets claimed. The Sox can outright him. I think since he’s been outrighted before he can refuse, but if he does, I think he forfeits his contract, and the $115k left this season probably is a significant number to Seby. I didn’t know he was 30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) All I can figure in cutting Zeby instead of Grandal is that a)Pedro wanted Grandal and/or didn't want Zeby back; and b) thought cutting a FA signee prior to contract expiration might send a bad message to future FA targets (not that they haven't done that before). Re Salvy, I'm hoping that was a Hahn thing and that Getz has more sense than that. Edited September 4, 2023 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I think the only reason not to cut Yaz is that it might be a good signal to agents/players that they’ll let him play out his contract. Seby is “controllable” but he also sucks. Hackenberg is major league ready and couldn’t possibly be any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Nothing like having 2 talent evaluators who spent time with the Royals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Seby is a 0.0 fWAR and a -0.5 bWAR. If you are Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams, that is a high bar to get over, but most GMs can do better. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 In the pregame, Frank said they should go get Perez if available. Ozzie said he'd love to see him in Sox uniform but you need to think with head and not heart....they need that money to spend on pitching.

Springfield Soxfan Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Zavala was hopeless, had a couple of offensive stretches but it was time for him to move on. Glad Getz recognized this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Sal Perez will hit like Seby next year, but with 9 homers. That's not worth 5 million. At least Hackenberg will be cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 With all their FA and the guys they should release, the Sox could get their 40 man down to like 28 guys. They should be very active in acquiring guys who are gonna be left off 40 man rosters. They have already done some of that with Carela, Lee, and Patino. We may see a lot more of that soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
