Player development dude from college. Can’t remember his name at the moment

Until you can spend 100 mil on a player in the 3rd largest market in the country you can’t cry poor in my eyes. If you can’t do that in today’s game you need to get the hell out of it. Yes they spent a bunch of money on mid level players, so while they spent money they did so poorly but only because JR refuses to allocate the money to the proper star player I.e. Machado or Harper. Those contracts now just a few years later look like a bargain comparatively speaking. I don’t have the article or link to it but JR or reporters have said that the Sox spending is not solely a Reinsdorf decision. JR whether using his business partners as a crutch or it’s a real thing has always looked out for their bottom line. Not saying they should spend year after year like those teams but anyone defending the unwillingness to land a big fish is just crazy at this point.

Sox viewpoint on him is he wasn’t a DH or 1B playing in the outfield so it was a win in their books. Also played for Grifol so there’s that

You think a team will end up caving to Getz demands? My worry is teams view Cease projections more off his last year performance and his runner up in the Cy Young season as more of an anomaly than looking at it as what he can bring to the table year in and year out

You really truly believe that lol? The Sox went out of their way to say TLR was out of the picture only for their new hire to contradict that statement a few weeks later. TLR will always have the ear of the chairman and when push comes to shove TLR still pulls the strings.

But we’ve been saying Jerry knows his time is running out and we continue to get him not wanting to spend on the same level as the rest of the league. Jerry isn’t the only one in the ownership group unfortunately and it’s been reported before he just can’t or won’t just throw his own money at the problem. The other “owners” have say in this as well unfortunately.

I truly believe JR and TLR think they can win with these type of players though and that is the most concerning part of it. They are so out of touch with reality and neither of them should have their hands on a baseball organization at this point in time in their lives

Benintendi was signed to play everyday LF. They clearly stated that when he signed which made Eloy a future “RF” or DH. Benintendi has a noodle arm that cannot and should not ever be placed in RF.

I definitely want to see them acquire a potential impact middle of the order bat as I feel like by the time it comes to compete again we will see some of the pitching prospects become MLB ready by the time we are competing again. However you can’t have enough pitching so it’d be nice to acquire another one but I definitely think a young upcoming bat is sorely needed (specifically if we can find it for RF and/or 2B and quit trying to fill those holes year in and year out

I think that was the whole purpose of Jerry hiring Getz though. He said it in his press conference. Bringing in someone that knows the inner workings of the organization because he wants to win now and if you bring in someone new they need time to evaluate everyone. If Getz has no idea what we have in the farm system or at the major league level then what the hell was he doing the past few years?

Chris knows what’s on this roster already, he’s not an outsider from a different organization. Maybe they arent trying to purposely tank because JR and TLR are old, calling the shots and think a roster like he’s currently building is the way to win however this team is in no way set to compete in 2025 as currently constructed. This is going to be very painful for the next couple years.

Win / Losses doesn’t matter at this point anyways with the new draft rules. I don’t want to be the Indians from the past few years where they struggle to score more than 2 runs a game but yet here we are

Have you seen the position players he’s brought in already? They are either slap hitters or players that flat out just can’t hit…

We are only classified as a big market team when it’s beneficial to Jerry’s bottom line. As far as spending goes….no way we are a big market team, Jerry cries poor ??

Only way I see the team adding much in terms of bringing offense to this team is if they acquire some with the mlb ready prospects they get from a Cease trade

Sox aren’t in the market for any of those guys. It’s been clear with all these acquisitions they are going to try and find some diamond in the rough type of pitchers or ones on 1-2 year bounce back type of seasons.

I like the search for defense but the lack of power on this team at the moment is going to make for a long summer….hopefully that will change but I doubt it

Benintendi- LF Moncada- 3B Robert - CF Eloy- DH Vaughn- 1B Sheets - RF? (Won’t be him cuz defense) Lopez - 2B Stassi/Lee -C Dejong- SS

Meh never say never with these clowns….

He’s definitely a 40 man spot. Is owed 7 mil this season w a 500k buy out for 2025

7 mil for 2024 and a 500k buy out for 2025 for a catcher who his .190 in 2022 and didn’t play due to injury and family matters in 2023….yay
