This is the best news they could have received from these meetings. I do question Getz referring to it as an honor. Dude, it pretty much means your team really sucks.

I'm not a Getz fan, but he's still cleaning up Hahn's mess. They lost 100 games in 2023.

While getting Roch is nice, it’s as much about getting the extra $2mill or so for the rest of the draft. I may be off but, whatever the delta. Nice to have.

Without seeing any of these kids with my own eyes, the young man who plays for Rusty Greer in HS, Emerson, intrigues me a ton if you're going to take one of the SS's at the top.

In a perfect world we draft Roch and he’s as good as advertised and his arrives at the same time as Ishbia takes over franchise, we lock up Roch with a long term deal as he debuts then Ishbia opens the wallet to field a perennial playoff team for years to come.

This is definitely a big step in the right direction for this franchise.

 

He will be here before that but the rest stands.

Will Roch command over slot or does he have no leverage?

Never a ton of leverage for the college guys really. And this kid is supposed to be a high-makeup type who won't want to put the screws to people over a marginal pay gain. I think as long as the Sox don't try to lowball, shouldn't be a signability concern.
