November 3, 20232 yr Not a a surprise, but damn does Getz have his work cut out for him to build a solid rotation.

I think the Sox have got like 10 legit big leaguers on their entire roster, and not all of them are good. (Bummer, Cease, Kopech?, Crochet?, Santos?, TA, Moncada, Vaughn, Benintendi, Eloy.) The other 26 guys are a mix of prospects and roster fillers. Mostly the latter.

From my perspective, we need three starters, at least three relievers, a starting catcher, a RF, and a 2B to have any chance of competing. If they decline Tim’s option or decide to trade him (which we’ll know by Monday) then there are at least 10 holes to fill. And that doesn’t even count the bench or general pitching depth. It’s literally going to take a miracle to compete next year.

November 4, 20232 yr Just sign some bounce back candidates and hope you can extract some value at the deadline. Lost season anyways.
November 4, 20232 yr Thank god. I would say good luck to that piece of s%*# but I wouldn't mean it at all.

I'd say this is more good luck to a guy who no one wanted at either the trade deadline and who cleared waivers completely despite being healthy and on a good roll of pitching thinking he will get more than $8 million on the open market.

Or playing for the Sox sucks that much he'd take a pay cut to go somewhere else.

Think it’s more no one wanted to pay him that much money plus the $4M buyout for a handful of starts honestly.

November 4, 20232 yr Random question for those in the know.....how close is Nick Nastrini to being able to get a shot at the Palehose rotation?
November 4, 20232 yr 3 hours ago, Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm said: Sox have 1 starting pitcher now. Is this "good luck" for Getz? And that guy had an ERA close to 5.

The small market habitual losing fanbase syndrome strikes again. Next up is the Sox/Royals rivalry in the battle for last place. Clevinger is basically looking for more money in an overpaid market. It's business. Some owner will risk giving him more money than Jerry. I'm sure media heads will throw around "culture". Edited November 4, 20232 yr by kitekrazy
