Pretty much what Getz said in that Kaplan interview. There's enough starting pitchers on the market for all those teams too.

Interesting - this would seem like an easy pickup. Former top 100 prospect, LHH RF, 23 years old, still has an option left. It's that old "lack of plate discipline" bug. 

 

FanGraphs had him as Colorado's #5 prospect last year:

 

Looks like he was the #3 prospect in the Rockies farm system in 2024 and #6 in 2025.  Would be an obvious claim if he could play CF but it looks like he’s a RF.  Swingitis and perhaps lack of contact is his issue but his minor league numbers still look pretty good and he has youth on his side.  He just turned 23 — New Year’s baby.  I propose we make him this year’s Canario and talk about him until Getz finally claims him…  or doesn’t, and he goes to play in Japan.

His K numbers in the minors don't really look that bad.

Yeah, I just noticed that.  Right around 20% strikeout percentage in the minors.  Canario was at 26%.  Yanquiel just doesn’t walk at all.

Does anyone know when this was recorded? Getz mentions a significant reliever at around the 23 second mark. I’m assuming that’s in reference to Domínguez but not sure.

Should we be concerned that Getz said Acuna is a switch hitter?

Haha, he actually said this at the 19 minute mark.  Perhaps he was mixing him up with Brooks Baldwin?  They look alike right?

My guess at the rest of the offseason list:

• Sign mid-rotation SP
• Add cheap veteran OF
• Trade Lee for whatever possible
• Trade Sosa if a return is there

Well alright alright alright 

[Y2Jimmy0]

Definitely ongoing talks. Not sure how major it’d be considered though.

Gotta be Korey Lee?

That wouldn't be major

Lee ain't getting you that much back unless a throw in. Sosa and quero are pretty much blocked. Lee could move to back up if its quero.

Adding someone good enough to help the major league roster?

Any specifics you can share?

[hogan873]

Do the Sox even have someone they could trade that would be considered major?

Trading Quero would be major and we know they’ve discussed this offseason.

Sosa wouldn’t be big, but also not a nothing given he lead the team in HRs.

Quero would be major to me at least. That’s about it unless it’s someone nobody is expecting like Grant Taylor or something.
