No kidding. If the Sox are depending on the likes of Martin Perez in October, just shoot me.

I never expected the Sox to have a chance with him. He had West coast written all over him IMO. Just seems like the Sox way of operating the FA market is hurting them, as usual. I’m concerned we haven’t heard anything from anyone regarding their pursuits or lack thereof.

Assuming the Sox lowballed someone they thought they had and missed out? Semien or Gray?

For what he signed for, the Sox better have been interested.

The Yankees are well over $200M, the Red Sox are about the same as where our White Sox are. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/

It sure will be funny to see either: A) The Mets get screwed over by Scherzer when he goes back to LA. or B) The Mets sign Scherzer and watch them Met up the 2022 season and fail to make the playoffs... again.

That is INSANE.

How could you forget about D.J. Carrasco like that?!

IDK, it seems like he is interested in the West coast. He even limited the Nationals to the West before he was traded.

I'm not sure if I read it anywhere to be honest. Call it an educated guess.

I believe it is the Mets and Mariners.

He had some really nice seasons in Arizona. He isn't a bad pitcher. I would be shocked if he's able to replicate what he did this season though.

Or maybe they actually have a chance to let Crochet go down to the minors and see if he can start.

I'd guess McNeil could be a part of talks if the Mets want to move a guy who got into it with Lindor.

Agreed. Feels like a move to push another target.

I love this move. This is the guy I wanted the Sox to grab at the deadline last year. Essentially Tepera’s replacement and strengthens the pen.

Same. There’s easily 4 guys I would be happy with, then the next question is what happens with Keuchel.

I’m going to guess if we see a move before Thursday, it’s a trade. I’d love to see Conforto locked up but I just don’t see Boras clients making any quick decisions.

You can play the same game with literally anyone right now. Going into 2022, we have no idea how some guys will react from the long season after everything that happened in 2020. It's hard to argue he isn't the best available option available right now. If you want to win right now, he should be at the top of the list.

He’s got an agreement with a MLB team.

Finally got one of the matte helmets. They sold out super fast last year. Didn’t see anything else that excites me enough to drop the amount of $ some stuff was listed for.

I agree with him. The Sox don’t need superstars at every position - plus it’s not realistic to have that expectation. The team with the worst record among playoff teams won the whole thing. Two 100+ teams failed to make the WS. It’s not the first time we’ve seen that either. Just get the right players that fill out the holes on this team the best. I’d be ecstatic with Conforto and Escobar.

Really hope they protect Carlos Perez.
