Kopech. They’ll rest him throughout the year.

Right? Zzzzz.

Our 4th starter might be our best starter. His name is Kopech. Not sure why you keep referring to Keuchel as anything but the 5th SP.

That’s still so incredible that happened. Who leaves like $12M on the table over that BS? Crazy

Which is precisely why I’m not trading him. I’m not a huge Gavin guy or anything but he has a skill set that’s Quite valuable to the Sox to have as depth.

I just don’t think the Sox are going to stick Keuchel in the pen. He’s going to be in the rotation to start the season if he’s healthy. It’s not like the vesting option is 80 innings. He hardly even hit it last season. I’m well aware that Kopech can’t throw 180 innings as well. Lopez, Stiever and Lambert will all get starts, as will others. As I just said, im Not necessarily opposed to adding SP but if you’re gonna move Sheets for it, I’d want a better deal than 30 Bassitt starts at best.

In no scenario would Keuchel be my 4 when he’s in a rotation with Giolito. Lynn, Cease and Kopech. I am not against adding a SP, but it should be a longer term fit if it’s for Gavin. I’d trade Burger + for Bassitt tho.

Getting Eloy out of LF would help otherwise he’ll be out of LF and DH because he’s on the IL.

Exactly. Rotation is full. We have mlb ready guys who can take some starts. Grab a cheap vet to compete with Keuchel and go to war. Keep Gavin. If you’re gonna make a trade, grab an expiring asset SP for Burger + fluff and call it a day.

I’m holding Sheets and dumpster diving SP. i know it’s likely Sox will make a trade or two and Sheets is at top of the list of who’s going, but 1 year of Bassitt in return is rough. Another SP would be nice but I’d rather have Gavin around for when we’re sure to need him. This team is plenty good as is to win division. Bassitt isn’t moving the needle on the playoff rotation.

I would not like that trade. Not opposed to using the Sheets bullet, but not on that move. He has legitimate value to this team even without a clear starting spot. I’d need to really like the return.

Can’t really go wrong between A or B tbh. But if I had to pick, I’d go A cuz this team badly needs to improve against RHP.

Way I understand it is players get those bonuses if they apply and then the remainder is chopped up amongst top 20% pre arb players, presumably also including the award winners.

Where are the damn transactions!? They gonna make us wait til tomorrow!?

Hahaha he did

We’ll find out soon.

This!

Just joking with you man. Kimbrel is getting traded. They have plenty of room. Just glad we have some baseball coming and hope they actually add that ~$20M player…cough…Conforto.

Not anymore!

Who is the executive committee besides Lindor, Scherzer and Cole?

Now sign Michael fucking Conforto tonight.

Letsssss gooooo

Maybe they should put less superstars with mega contracts on the executive board. Who couldn’t imagined this series conflict of interest.

This. Needed to be productive this week and next knowing half to day and all of Thur and Fri next week are shot. This isn't helping.

Well that's good news. So we're back to the players being greedy fucks if we don't have a deal today and the rumored final offer from MLB on the CBT, min salary and pre-arb pool were accurate.
