I would have rather given Vogt a shot too.

If Getz wanted to whip his sack on the table at the gm meetings, he would have fired Grifol and hired Counsell.

I would turn that Giolito "club option" into a player option. I would guess he's looking at a deal similar to Rodon (1 year, 1 year player option) to leave for a better deal if he pitches great after 1 season.

Please no more overpaying for relievers/closers, especially if it isn't the *only* missing piece.

Yeah, I don't think they will spend to the same amount they have the last 2 years.

Later in year maybe.

Yeah I would bet against the budget being what they spent in the 2023 team.

Thinking about this more, I feel like they didn’t want to gamble on both TA and Moncada being productive players and took the opportunity to get out of some potential bad money. Still hoping Moncada gets moved though.

Yeah, he’s not coming back

Just bring a positive defensive player. If you bring back TA for cheaper, move him to 2B.

Because KW, correct.

I’ll toss another name in the ring: Isiah Kiner-Falefa.

Marlins apparently

Yeah I’m ok with him coming up at some point but I’m not penciling him into the lineup on OD.

Yep. Declining the $15M option on Liam was obvious.

If he can dump Moncada and has to pay half of that salary for next year + half buyout, I don’t care what we get back. Just do it.

DeJong, Nicky López, Andrus. Who’s going to be the SS?

Wow

Adam Frazier would be an ok signing for 2B right? I think I prefer him to Merrifield (who they probably will end up signing).

Think it’s more no one wanted to pay him that much money plus the $4M buyout for a handful of starts honestly.

He’ll do better than 1 year 8 million

You could sign him to a 2 year deal where he gets very little year 1, and then $8M in year 2. And if I could bet on it, I would bet the Sox come to some sort of agreement like that.

He had an option for $14M so was unlikely to be a free agent anyway. Good move lower the AAV for luxury tax purposes.

Probably not
