When we lose him for nothing in free agency?

When you have to start a paragraph with "pray" and it involves the entire position player group, that should tell you how impossible it will be.

I would like to know who is the author of our Latin strategy first. - Who prioritized Cuba over the rest of LatimAm? Who decided not to pursue these kids while very young?

Then they aren't getting any top flight players

This one wasn't even the team's fault.

Nicky Lopez II

Yeah.

Pump the brakes there killer

Oh yeah, lol. Well cross him off the list.

Watch us re-acquire Jose Rodriguez as a fill in for the rest of the season.

He was our highest ranking signing at the time for a while. He did NOTHING.

Oh please. There are like three systems in baseball which are perfect matches to the Sox, and this is one.

I wonder how much of his contract the Sox would have to pay to get a team to take a chance on Benny? If the Sox picked up $10m of the $15 per year would it work? $12? I mean they have to pay him anyway, would a little relief be better than nothing?

Yeah, this isn't really true. Plenty of teams will line up to take shots at him after this year. Again look at Tyler Glasnow. Despite his crazy injury history, not only did the Dodgers throw legit pieces to get him, the hooked him up for 5 years at $27.5m per year. He's in line for plenty of money, injury or not. Sure injury free gets him Cole money, but it isn't like he is moving into Section 8 housing if he gets another injury.

There are a few of those guy floating around the netherworlds. A guy like Davis Martin will also happen soon enough.

I am sure the Sox will eventually leak it, but I would love to know what mortal sin that Colas committed, and how to get Sheets to do the same.

You say this like there are tons of better options at all of these spots. We open up the doors for guys like Sosa, Julks, and Colas (well maybe), but we really don't have guys ready, which is why these trades are so important. We need to find those guys before things start to get better.

Yeah, don't know how interested they are in a big deal with someone and/or the Sox, but the they still have the firepower to pull a top flight position player into the fray.
