People were even hopeful we would bring back Giolito, along with his friend Flaherty. When the hope was bounce back guys, and instead we get warmish bodies with random letters stitched to the back of their jerseys. There's regular Sox dumpster diving, and then there's scraping the putrid grime off the very bottom. Thanks JR... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I still find this absolutely hilarious that we have contract and amounts prior to him signaling to any team that he's joining. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I keep checking for updates on this as if Erick Fedde is Ohtani. I need help. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soroka and Fedde are as bounce-back-y as Severino and Manaea. Probably more intriguing, as Sev & Man have been down for a while. Soroka's coming back from injury and Fedde looks like a different pitcher from what left America. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How disgusting when this ownership group and front office fails us all! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He must be related to Ohtani, JR's actually gonna try for Ohtani hoping that by signing his relatives he'll take the Sox low-ball offer just like Machado....wait I forgot Machado took the $$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 3 hours ago, A-Train to 35th said: If he was smart he would take the Mets offer, why would anyone choose the Sox if money was similar. Certainly not to join an organization run by JR, a rookie GM, and Pedro. If it were me, I would take the Sox. I think you will have a longer runway to show you are a new player and to get rid of the old stigma attached to him. The Mets may not give that same flexibility / run, so to me, if I were him and money was even near equal, the opportunity Sox would provide him to have is > for his long-term earnings capacity. Mets could pivot away from that $10M in a week, where as Sox are going to view that as a bigger investment and thus put more time before entirely "writing it off". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOFHurt35 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I saw photos floating around of Reinsdorf attending the GM meetings. I asked myself "for what?" That man went down there to make sure that Erik Fedde deal was not going to get fumbled. What dedication by our owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now Touki. That's nothing, I go all the way back to a guy looking like this being the OD starter for the Sox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 I don't know how many guys have come over from Korea, especially guys who started stateside like Fedde. Merrill Kelly is the big success story that I'm familiar with. So for whatever it's worth, Fedde pitched a hell of a lot better in the KBO than Kelly ever did. Of course, scouting is a bit harder than just comparing statistics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
