I forgot your are one of the pessimistic ones that don't think the sox can do better

Will depend on what they do this offseason. Apparently the sox think they can do better otherwise why trade for colome plus be looking for starting pitching and more bullpen up plus now need to replace avi. They could have just kept avi and Davidson and ran out the kids they added to the pen and see what's happens

That's a big if at this point

There's no guarantee that Madrigal will be up in a year. Alot has to go right. When was the last time a top pick position player for the Sox made it up before 2yrs.

Have you seen the AL. Most of the central teams are rebuilding plus the Indians might retool. Seattle just started a tear down. Not sure Oakland can maintain with the pitching staff. Still one wild card spot open and could be also be division

Maybe the sox feel they can start to win now. There's always a need for starting pitching. Look at kopech. Dunning was close to surgery, Hansen got injured and took a step back. Again not nowing with rodon. How would the contract be a weight on a team when they barely have a payroll as it is and getting smaller each year

First you wouldn't move him to 3rd until machado would sign anyways if the Sox have a chance at machado. Plus you don't even know if arenado will be a free agent. Also unless there is someone ready to take over 2nd to replace him why move him

Corbin is going to be more expensive but just worry about happ already being 36 and getting a multi year deal

I think the sox want one innings eater like shields did but also multi year player for other spot. Problem is don't know if rodon can stay healthy and which version of giolito you are getting. Plus if rodon can stay healthy and pitch well can use as trade bait down the line

Will see if the Sox are still interested
