Keuchel will get 158 innings this season and do the best he can. If you really think they planned on replacing him with 18 mil a year on the books...you are not a realistic fan. DOES ANYONE here honestly think Dallas isn't pencilled in to the #4 spot? And Kopech absolutely has to get a chance. So where is this magical SP spot need? It was never going to be a big move. 100% going to hear this week that they expect Gio to improve and be the true Ace, Lance is a #1 on some teams and they expect Dylan to take the next step and be ace level. Whether that is accurate or not is pointless, that will be the company line.

nah, look at scrooge. old rich guys that aren't generous outlive and hang on from the very fibers of the money.

jerry will be dead in 2-3 years based on life expectancy.

I agree he isnt good. But in this lineup he needs to be healthy, make good contact and try to keep the line moving for Tim. He should have no problem doing that and he is being paid 4 million (5.5) if they dont keep him to do that. Were you expecting the sox to sign Semien for 23 mil a year or taylor for 15 mil??? Those were the only options that were "good" in FA this year and everyone else is a warm body that you rely on your scouting department. Did you write 50+ posts about how bad Brian Goodwin was last year when they needed a warm body??

Put nearly all star numbers up first half of LAST season with Nationals. Your hatred goggles cloud all your judgement and quite honestly you are laughable in 90% of your posts. Bold way to get rep points, but tip of the cap to you...

Conforto may have to settle for an opt out deal since boras gonna ask for 5/125 now after this deal

Rockies just never learn.

an easy replacement for once Keuchel's contract expires...and we can evaluate Kopech and Crochet's ability to stay in rotation. This is almost ideal.

Until Dan Clark breaks the Yankees news, I keep it in just rumor territory...?

almost every team could have drafted Trout. This one is just reaching to shit on the FO like everyone else the last three days

and that honestly is the best possible outcome for sox. 5/100-120 isn't ideal, but if its year 2 or 3 opt out Sox will know exactly what Colas/Cespedes is and Eloy will probably be close to ready to full Time DH and Vaughn will be full time 1B.

Peak Matsui with a gold glove is literally a top 10 player in MLB. NOT ONE comp was even close to that from anyone including this Fangraphs article

It wasn't wise money...but what mess? What deal have they signed that hurts them long term or after 2022? Did they misuse funds so far this off-season...yes. Is any move here resulting in a mess that needs cleaning...nope. Kelly and Graveman were overpays, but will perform fine. Kimbrel is still getting moved and Harrison is just a guy on a short deal.

5/100 is really too much for those projections...but the fan interest he brings from Japan on their cute network probably will more than cover the slight overpay. Hope he pans out for them, but also not comfortable with that commitment for Sox on him.

Yep, Blue Jays looking primed to win a world series in 1 of the next 3 years. 1 pitcher away.

For a dude that suffered from long covid...Conforto can go fuck himself. This news is all I needed to know that hopefully he signs elsewhere. Graveman is on my crap list also. If you are a professional athlete that travels and puts all staff of stadiums, hotels, restaurants and any other travel related staff (and families) at risk is the type of person that I can't cheer for on a championship team (and yes, I know that omicron and current situation is not a big deal now)

i know we keep saying 5.5 mil...but isn't that is the price with the team buyout? Is it 4 mil for 2022? What is the salary for 2023?

someone needs to make a homer simpson gif of freeman disappearing into the bushes and olson emerging.

Harrison RAKED in first part of season last year with Nationals. Like, really, really good. Maybe they think he can replicate that? It's a dumb bet, but all I can think is they saw a flaw in his approach in Oakland and think they can correct it. One thing of note...both Nationals & Athletic fans absolutely loved him and his presence, so it's not an Eaton type dick personality.

yeah, robert in 2 hole for lefties works...and should result in ridiculous RBI chances with TA's lefty mashing.

Is he locked into the #3 spot? That to me is the single most important part to this season. NO more moving him around, and put him where he stays for the next half decade.

he will average 7-8 WAR the next 4 seasons with a peak of 10 in an MVP season. My guess is he is top 5 this season and wins World Series MVP in 2023...

get a third teamer involved for Castillo? MEGA tank blockbuster!

I will come with the positive angle...at least we havent been linked to a whale, only to find out it was a bunch of BS. I would rather go home with no foreplay, then go home with a large blue sac.

That 0.0 WAR last year says otherwise. I get the other moves, but this idea aint it.
