I think if Hahn offered Grandal for Salvy, the Royals would send in the paperwork before Hahn could change his mind.
I honestly want nothing to do with Perez but it seems the Sox are interested.
Perez has a much worse contract than Grandal.
I'd normally agree, but given that the Cubs (at least by twitter followers) own 70% of the Chicago baseball market, the Sox are actually a mid market team in a large market. They are not the Angels or Mets. They are closer to the A's.
Last year I expected 85-88 wins and I thought that was super pessimistic. They won 81 and the entire offense sucked. While I thought it was possible that the offense could be worse than most on ST expected, I didn't expect everyone except Abreu to take a giant crap on the plate.
In 2021 I really was checked out after TLR, Eloy and Robert.
I try to protect myself every season and winter and I end up disappointed anyway.
No matter how bad I think it's going to be, it's worse the majority of the time.
Just life as a jaded Sox fan.
I was legit excited for this team after 2020.....then they hired Drunk Tony and Eloy/Robert got hurt.....it's been all downhill from there. 2022 was supposed to be the peak year in the window.
Hahn sucks. Jerry sucks too, but another GM could do a better job with what Jerry gives them.
However, new GM would have to convince Jerry to use lots of computers to help make decisions, and idk how possible that is.
Regardless, Hahn is terrible.
Never, but he should.
I don't want to hear a damn word about being a playoff team every year or competing for championships until the owner greenlights actually putting the team over the top. The last few years feel like 2000-2004 all over again.
