Though, if you make that commitment, they should have to be IL’d the first 60 days next season to avoid manipulation. Just like when you place them on 60-day when Spring Training starts.

Obviously if there is no market, they can wait until the 6th in case someone gets hurt in the Boston series. I think they look to move one of them today though. Not going to get much, but a lot of teams could use a RH platoon or bench bat.
19 minutes ago19 min Roster crunches are what happens when you go from sucky to reasonably good. The Sox have been able to operate a revolving door of waiver claims for the last 3 years. Now, they're going to lose some marginal big leaguers as their roster gets harder to make. Guys like Drew Romo, Junior Perez, and some of the pitchers may get taken for nothing. That's the price of getting some better players. I am not worried. Hopefully, they'll be able to do what Tampa is often quite good at: Getting value for players who are 40 man casualties/out of options.
