Probably going to be Valasquez instead of ReyLo. Not that that is any better.

Sounds like 6 weeks best case, but 8 sounds more realistic.

So basically gonna be without Lynn for April and May. Woof. Rough week.

Eaton?

Sorta bummed to see the book closed on Collins. Dude was an awful catcher, but I do expect if he ever got a chance to hit consistently in the bigs, the power would show. But I don’t think Toronto is going to be that place for Zack either.

Id be surprised by that. Not sure what Seby adds.

Yep

Nah. Pollock CBT number is $12m.

Don’t let logic get in the way of a good Parkman pessimistic rant with those heels dug in.

Just check out the posting history of the guy that ruled Lynn out for 3-4 months. Not hard to figure out the extreme bias.

As probably wanted a pitcher that could help this year. They’re not exactly flush with options at the moment. Sox don’t have that to offer.

Lol. Ok Jack. Vaughn for Keller is a comically bad proposal. Thank god you’re not running this org.

IDGAF about Vaughn’s stats from last year. He skipped AA and AAA and hadn’t played in a game for over a year, and is a year removed from being a consensus top 20 prospect in the game as a 1B, and certainly would have been much higher if he played OF in college. He has enormous offensive upside. And on top of all that has more control than Keller. you have a lot of really bad takes, but this is up there.

The same people moaning for the Padres would be complaining to no end if the Sox made the same moves.

Sure. But not for AV as Jack suggested. That’s bonkers.

Assuming Lynn isn’t seriously hurt, I’m fine missing out on Manaea. Dude just doesn’t move the needle much. But we certainly need to add some SP depth in the next few days. This does, however, seem like a very bearable package. But appears Oakland wanted some pitching that could help sooner than we could provide.

Well fuck.

TJS confirmed by Crochet.

He’s useful if he’s not over exposed. I think the fear from last year is TLR will find a way to get Leury in the lineup most days, often at the expense of better players.

Giys are optioned when on 40 man roster and reassigned to minor league camp when not on 40 man.

Im all for acquiring Manaea for the right price. But most of deals discussed here are overpays imo. Manaea is solid but unspectacular, especially for just 1 market value season.

Rodon has a much longer track record of being hurt. Madrigal may get to that point, but he’s not there yet. I don’t even know why we’re taking about Madrigal. He’s gone. But he’s a better player than Harrison and it’s not particularly close. He may get injured every season, he may not. Neither of us know.

Lol. Madrigal put up 1.3 fWAR in 50 some games last year. Harrison 1.5 in 130 some games. That was Harrison’s best season since 2017. Madrigal is a far more effective player.

Emphasis on lite. Harrison hasn’t sniffed a season as valuable on a per game basis as Madrigals half season in 2021 since 2017.

Rodon hardly even pitched the 2nd half the season and we have a replacement in Kopech who very well may be significantly better than Rodon already, albeit with workload constraints. Not that Rodon didn’t have those same constraints. Some people vastly overrate Rodon around here. If dude makes 40 starts in two years for SF I’d be shocked. He’s proven himself unreliable time and time again.
