I’m going to go with mid-rotation starter or reliever addition. Edited November 22, 20232 yr by Bob Sacamano

Don’t know how you missed the part of things going south quickly for this organization you didn’t understand. IMO Daffy Duck and Mickey Mouse have a better shot at being in the 2024 rotation than Dylan Cease does. Yeah I can read chief. Can you slugger?

What is the purpose of signing a declining vet who has been awful Because not many folks want guys rushed to the majors like Vaughn. It's "give the young guys a chance" until they under perform then "blame the team for rushing them."

"He's healthier now" (hidden injury ploy) "We'll fix 'em" (our staff knows better) Front office flipping a coin before writing the press release.
November 22, 20232 yr Even if I had 100 million to spend I think I'm going with something like DeJong, Lopez and Ahmed in the middle infield for 2024. Who did everyone want? I like the move.

If you can't trade Robert do you still go with Sosa/Rodriguez over Lopez/DeJong? If I'm forced to try to win the central I'd start with the latter.

Yikes.

November 22, 20232 yr Just now, Bob Sacamano said: Also hit 14x the amount of homers So basically DeJong went to the one team where he'd statistically be considered an offensive upgrade.

It’s shocking this guy even got an MLB deal after being dfa’d twice last year and just awful at the plate the last 3 years. That’s probably why he took the deal. The Sox either have to overpay guys, give them major league deals when no one else will, or be the only team giving them an offer at all to get players to come here. Reputation matters.

It's "give the young guys a chance" until they under perform then "blame the team for rushing them." It’s worth noting, though, that Shewmake wasn’t rushed whatsoever. He spent one year per level, and has topped out repeating AAA.

More than likely, only about 5-10% of the really hard core Sox fanbase even know of this transition. Still no numbers because there's no MLB guarantee/split contract?
