Lip Man 1 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Some talk among some of the talking heads this may be a guy the Sox should look to. Not happening. Resigned with the Dodgers today, two years, 24 million. I just have a feeling the Sox free agent possibilities are going to be very slim pickings. This is just an awful situation, just brutal across the board in all areas. How quickly everything went downhill and completely fell apart. Truly remarkable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had an option for $14M so was unlikely to be a free agent anyway. Good move lower the AAV for luxury tax purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Sox did make 4 roster moves today 😄 11/02/23 RHP José Ureña elected free agency. 11/02/23 SS Elvis Andrus elected free agency. 11/02/23 RHP Bryan Shaw elected free agency. 11/02/23 C Yasmani Grandal elected free agency. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, the much cheaper Muncy errr Jake Burger will be in Miami in his last Pre-arbitration season. Good players tend to want to play for winning teams that want them back....generally tend to come off the board quite quickly. Probably quite a few thought he would be closer to one year $9-12 million at his career stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was more consistent than Touki or Jesse Scholtens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 He would be another NL veteran that would fail in a Sox uniform. Not everyone leaves a team like the Dodgers. I don't see the doom and gloom in this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a bunch of C tier free agents this off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much ado about lack of leadership in the bullpen early last year. This dude then comes in and pitches in every game the last 2 months. At least has to be difficult for Kopech to complain about a hangnail when he turns around and sees Shaw behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just poking fun at our complete overreliance on him last year. Fucking guy would throw 100+ innings out of the 'pen, easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
