The Sox need 4 or 5 of their prospects to be studs and another half dozen become useful players. They can build around that. Montgomery would be a great start - lord knows the Sox are due for some production from young players. Can they?

He doesn't think he's always the smartest guy in the room. Refreshing, that is. If JR will give him the same budget he gave Hahn, he should be able to get it done. I thought Hahn was a putz almost immediately. Even though Getz has made some real howlers, he seems to me like he will actually try learn from his mistakes. And despite teh gaffes, he's also made some sharp moves that show open mindedness and creativity.

The Cubs definitely aren’t as good with Tucker and Shaw/Turner rather than Tucker and Bregman. But I think if they had signed Bregman for 3/$120 and would have already been paying him $40 million a season, they would have zero shot at resigning Tucker next offseason. It will still be difficult but I think they actually have a chance to re-sign him. With Bregman’s additional salary, not a chance. Except odds are greater than 50/50 that Bregman opt's out again after one year hitting at Fenway due to that contract structure...which would work well for the Cubs as well. Ofc if he continues to slide a bit...left holding the bag with a bad contract. Same basic situation though in Boston...as Cubs w/ Shaw, opening up positions for Campbell and Anthony in the next 6-12 months. Edited February 18, 20251 yr by caulfield12
