I'd prefer they burry Quero in the 8/9 spot and hope the lineup gives him enough protection that we see a resurgent 2025 version of him. Losing Teel will suck, but it's not like they had him all that long this season to begin with. Just focus on pitching and bullpen help, IMO.I agree. If anything, maybe a RHH backup that doesn't cost much.

But I completely agree as well.

5 hours ago5 hr Lodolo and Stephenson, the first ask will be Bonemer.And then you have Lodolo through just 2027, but no certainty over next year.Really can’t even think about parting with Bonemer unless it’s team control through 2027 AND 2028.Just not even sure what type of fallback position the Reds would even accept.Probably both Hagen and McDougal…Sandlin and McDougal isn’t enough, either. Not with how good and durable Lodolo was in 2025.

Go with Quero and Romo (or DFA him and give Turner a shot) and hit them 8th (I would say 9th but I like the idea of a 2nd leadoff hitter in the 9 spot when the lineup flips)

4 hours ago4 hr It’s pretty funny in the seasons that the Sox are good and we get to this time of season and invariably GreenSox gets super freaked out about trading anyone and everyone and ultimately falls into “doing nothing is best” on repeat
4 hours ago4 hr We can revisit the Quero/Romo crowd's opinions in the playoffs when they are both still really bad at the plate. That'll be a fun revisit. Can talk about 2027 then and the looming short season/no baseball.

At some point you do need to trade.
3 hours ago3 hr I am not saying don’t trade. I just think getting another starter is a way higher priority than catcher. We can’t go into a playoff series with only two reliable starters. Anthony Kay or Eric Fedde should not be starters in a 7 game series. Edited 3 hours ago3 hr by kwill
3 hours ago3 hr Remember Jerry Krause was called "The Sleuth" for his secret scouting. He would sit up in stands with a hat on and keep a low profile. Poor Jerry, eating a hotdog with mustard stains on his shirt would always give him away.53 minutes ago, caulfield12 said:There’s no such thing as good/young/“under the radar”/cost controlled with all the advances in major league front offices and analytics the last 10-15 years.
