Seems too early to announce. I assume it would be the guy they just gave all that money too (Eduardo Rodriguez).

No Sheets? Edit: oops. Probably facing a lefty to start the year. But I still feel like I would DH him and bat him like 6th or 7th and move guys around over having Mendick in lineup. Mendick, Harrison, a not ready Adolfo and Leury in the same lineup = ?

I think so actually lol

SIGN CONFORTO....HE's OUT THERE STILL

Against righties I’m good hitting him 2. Against lefties, they can hit him lower.

I don’t even think I want Bellinger honestly. It really sucks it has come down to a talking about a bad contract for bad contract swap when you could have just bought him out.

Both Turners are likely free agents after this year (Justin has a $16m option/2 mill buyout).

Suspended the first 28 games I think. I also ready this will cause the team to gain an extra of year control (4 years instead of 3).

Yep. And then Vaughn DH against lefties with Engel in RF, if healthy. Otherwise, probably Leury lol

Nowhere to play him.

Such a great show. Only have 2 episodes left.

First pitch homer to lead off the game for Ohtani.

Did anyone from the Sox even say he would be bench piece? I know posters on here were concerned he would play regularly. At that point, there was hope they would add a good 2B though.

So multi-year deal with opt-out after year 1?

Yep. At this point it feels like a one year signing wherever he goes. Just not sure who would want to punt the pick for one year.

I was going to say, at the very least it likely opens up a spot on the 40-man.

I think the only guy I would have moved Moncada off of 3B for was traded to the Jays.

We're really going into the season with Collins or Zavala as the backup C aren't we?

I definitely chuckled at “less weird” lol

I'm pretty sure you can't do that. Or you have to wait a certain amount of time to make a trade.

Probably. (Checks to see if Eloy is in the outfield today)

Comparing what other back-end relievers got compared to Kelly, Graveman, and even throw Kimbrel in there this off-season, they definitely could have spent money more wisely haha I count about 8 deals I would prefer over those guys. And that's not even counting the lower guys you could sign to replace Burr/Ruiz.

And to piggyback, is there a good chance Kimbrel opens up the year with the Sox? @raBBit

The draft was also a month earlier than it is now.

I still see Texas as biggest threat.
