If you put Joc and Castellanos together that would be an awesome player. Castellanos hit LHP at .370 .425 .713 1.138 last year. Joc hit all 36 Homers against RHP & hit .252 .349 .571 .920

Glad you approve

Well said. Someone can tell us what they have heard but that info is only as good as what the FO thinks. There is obviously a disconnect between what is actually happening and what the Sox are thinking.

Is this the official Wheeler thread?

Love how they have security footage at a cockfight. Is this for replay? Does the NCL (National Cockfighting League) have better technology than MLB?

Does he get to feed the rabbits?

Great point

Very quiet on the Rendon front. Makes me wonder if the Sox are going to be an under the radar team like the padres last year. By signing Rendon they would be addressing the RF need as well by moving TA, Moncada or Madrigal to RF. Plus I think Rendon will be a bargain compared to what Muchado got and hes a better player and fit. Imagine that lineup.

Don't be surprised if the Sox sign a Boras client this off season.

I didn't even give a "take." I just posted some stats and stated what most were saying about the 2 contracts. Just thought it was funny the stats were similar.

Does it matter about his defense since Abreu will most likely be a DH by next year?

Just thought it was funny that the stats were kind of similar

Player 1: Age 31 .246 Avg 28 HR .380 OBP .848 OPS 119 OPS+ Player 2. Age 32 .284 Avg 33 HR .330 OBP .834 OPS 119 OPS+ Player 1 gets 4 years $73 Mil. Average per year $18.25 Mil Great deal Player 2 gets 3 years $50 Mil. Average per year $16.66 Mil. Terrible deal

What about danks?

Alvarez and Whitley might be a good trade for Giolito. Would have to sign Cole, Strausburg or Wheeler to make up for the loss of Gio. Eloy Robert Alvarez would be an excellent outfield.

Time to break the mold. Maybe

Merkin and Stone both not part of the front office. Not saying it's going to happen but I know the Sox are going to be an under the radar team this year (kind of like the Padres last season). Probably cause of last seasons free agent debacle. I wouldn't count them out unless Hahn or KW comes out and says so. Don't listen to twitter.

Not sure why you think the Sox are not taking a seat at the table. I know Jerry has not spent like this in the past but I don't see where anyone in the org says they are not interested in Cole.

I agree that a signing of Rendon or Cole could help the Sox sign other free agents.

Please don't

Either trade or opt out he may end up with the Sox. Might as well opt out and squeeze a couple extra million out of the Sox.
