February 15, 201412 yr Now that the Mariner talks are stalled, why don't the Sox get involved? Given our draft history (ex Sale), worth the risk? Trade De Aza. Cruz is getting cheaper, would rake in the Cell. We have the payroll. Let's go!!

February 15, 201412 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 07:30 PM) We have enough outfielders. He's also mediocre, 33, coming off a PED suspension, probably gonna get something like $12-15m over 3 years, and would require us to give up the 3rd pick of the 2nd round. It's a terrible idea and thankfully not going to happen.

February 15, 201412 yr QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 08:27 PM) He's suffocating in Chanel's b@@bs right now He can do whatever he wants if he can do what he did last year for us. Plus, ya know, he's 22 so he might improve.

February 15, 201412 yr Wow, a worse idea than signing another pitcher. this makes sense when we release Adam Eaton.
February 15, 201412 yr Declining veterans while we're trying to rebuild. Good lord. We aren't winning this year, with or without these mediocre available free agents. Build.

February 15, 201412 yr I have a hard time cheering for players who have juiced in the past. My buddy who is a big Cardinal fan hates the fact that his team signed Peralta. As bad as our offense was in 2013, I would much rather watch young players take their bumps than add an aging cheater to this team. All attention must be focused on that Catcher position right now. What are the odds of Hahn acquiring one before the season starts?

What are the odds of Hahn acquiring one before the season starts? One that will be the long term solution? Very Unlikely. It seems the sox are pretty set on breaking camp with Flowers and either Nieto or Phegley. Edited February 15, 201412 yr by TheTruth05
February 15, 201412 yr There's just too many reasons to list why the Sox should not even consider Cruz .
February 15, 201412 yr Honestly, I would prefer the Sox sign Jimenez or Santana over this, and I've argued extensively against signing them.
