yea that would be a creative move. we'll see how getz does. so far I think he's done a good job keeping his powder dry. obvious fringe moves have been made, some perhaps more impactful ones still to come but no rush. Hahn I felt always was compelled to move to move. Sometimes better just to wait and see especially given our resources for MLB payroll.

then you just keep him and hope he puts up 250/300/470 at which point he would coming July. If he doesn't oh well C'est la vie,

Good question. I'd think if the Sox paid some freight they could get a back end top 100 guy and a C+ and a lotto ticket. Of course will JR throw in 8 million or whatever? Prolly not.

Well if that's what he's getting Robert def still has some value as fellow bounceback.

I'd rather sign nobody than waste 20 million on two bums that will just take up roster spots while producing 1 WAR.

Agnostic about the change myself. It might stifle some innovation but foster more competition and then innovation.

I mean he traded away arguably the best non Skubal or Skenes pitcher in MLB, he got fair value. Got to give to Getz.

It's cold outside but Getz is

Thank god we are now making the obvious moves. For awhile that wasn't happening.

We've gone from dumpster driving to digging in the pre donate crates at the Goodwill.

We'll be lucky to add 4 WAR imo. Regardless team will be more watchable next year, only can go up from here. We'll see how high.

Doesn't seem like we are gonna do jack s%*#. Not surprising but still mildly disappointing.

Link them up with our new "grip expert" pitching coach. Honestly fairly excited about the 26 season. Getting the draft hit and the bonuses from just being so damn bad record wise have us primed to rebound to regular bad with some real upside assuming the 27 season happens.

most teams have s%*# players somewhere on the 26 and 40 man. But bad teams like the sox have been don't have any stars and lack even average regulars. I'm not going to get that upset about back end s%*#, at least as someone noted they seem to be churning through them faster. that said, find some fucking good players.

elite neck width guy. krause would love him.

From what I've read he's consensus but things can change quickly based on the new data that will come from the college and prep seasons. The good thing is that all three of the SS at the top right now are worthy of 1,1 in a weaker draft -- and Roch at the top right now makes it a strong one with them behind. Plus, I'd always prefer to take a position player 1,1 given injury and that downside risk.

It's nice to have depth. We finally have some up the middle.

The f***? Sure, trade him back, ask for like 50 million in cash and their top 3 prospects. Deal.

Emerson has one of the strongest arms I've seen from a HS SS. Perfect game clocked him at 90mph and you can see that in the film on him.

Org added some intriguing talent today. Hopefully this is the last time we can take 2 guys in the Rule 5 for a long time.

Bit early to be that drunk imo.

way more projectable tho. 4 years younger. get him on some vitamins.

Love the pick, only 21. He's going to struggle in MLB this year but who cares.

There's never a "good value" in a FA signing. Value isn't the reason you sign premium FAs. It's to win and signal that you're trying.
