4 hours ago4 hr I know there is no perfect free agent pitcher this year sans Skubal, but is anyone concerned that King's K rate dropped quite a bit this past year? All his expected and fielding independent numbers point to him being a 4+ ERA pitcher the past 2 seasons, almost a full run higher than his ERA during this time. When you're paying for a pitcher, you're paying him for what he might produce, not what he's produced before. None of his underlying metrics suggest that he will continue to be the low 3 ERA pitcher he's been. I doubt Jerry will pony up the $120+ million he might get over 5 years anyway, but just food for thought.

Not a lot of innings on that arm either. And 31 so not like he’s going to sign a crazy like 7+ year deal. Also was previously offered QO so can’t be offered again.

1 hour ago1 hr I know I'm a broken record, but the Sox simply don't draft and develop near well enough to regenerate the young players that will be required for these pitchers like Detmers. I could see it if there were 4 years of control, but. not 2.

For once, let the Sox draft talent, and let the Sox put it on the field instead of shipping it out. If there’s extra laying around, different story. Why are we always trying to do this? Be NORMAL!
