There really isn't a good argument for this particular season and the circumstances on the roster.

Woof. Surprising choices. At least Getz appears willing to admit his mistakes. Hahn would have held onto Fletcher for several more seasons (though I'd rather play Fletcher than the shitty vets they signed).

Good. Zero reason to waste a year of service on this trashheap of a team. Call both him and Hagan Smith up in May 2026.

I mean, idk. This team is quite a bit worse on paper than last year's and anyone that plays over replacement level is and should be traded. I think 50 wins is likely the ceiling, but as I said, I sure hope to see some watchable baseball and be pleasantly surprised - at least at the start of the season.

I've never been more down on the Sox than I now. But Opening Day is still great. Sox are extremely likely to lose 115-125 games, but fuckina, we're allowed to have a tiny bit of hope today. The Angels blow too, so let's start this season off on the right foot with a series win!

Colas? I doubt he gets released. He'll either get claimed (likely), or he clear waivers and Sox send him back to AAA as non-roster depth (ideal).

Easy answer. Because they filled the roster with a bunch of worthless veterans with no value. The strategy is and has been fucking terrible.

Can't they add him back to the mlb roster then 60 day IL him?

So three more 40 man spots needed. Thorpe is 1. So 2 more guys on the chopping block and Eisert certainly seemed like he was going to be 1. With Tyler Gilbert supposedly going to the IL, pretty much has to be Schuster and Owen White considering 26 of the 40 man roster are pitchers.

Just not at all a fan of not giving Colas a chance this season. Writing has been on the wall, but I just don't like it. He must be a very real clubhouse issue.

I would think Eisert, Gilbert, White and Schuster would all be on the chopping block before Leasure. They can create a spot by putting Carela on the MLB 60 day. Leasure is one of the more interesting pen pieces they have IMO.

Would be very very surprised to see that.

100%. I think this is the right decision even if he had a much better spring.

D. Staff hiring and clear change of direction from previous regime only thing saving an F.

Yeah, that is likely the group. This team might lose 130.
