Fair. I’d like Benintendi off the team entirely but I’m not expecting that to happen until 2027 if at all. I’d just like more power and for all of Garcia’s flaws, at least he hits homers.

At that point you might as well sign Adolis Garcia to play RF and move Baldwin to a super utility role.

If Vargas has actual trade value, I wouldn’t mind trading him. I think he could be useful but I’m not convinced he has enough power to be above average at either corner. But I find it hard to believe they would get something of significance for him.

I’m getting Cam Booser PTSD but at least this guy is significantly younger.

Thanks! Well I’m not a beat reporter or Jeff Passan. Just a fan. I hadn’t seen anyone in the Sox community write about Okamoto and thought people would be interested.

Anyone have info on him?

It’s a long season, especially for these rookies. Not too concerned.

Maybe I’m crazy but I feel like Burke’s stuff could play up as a reliever.

Anyone know if this is accurate?

I somewhat understood the Booser trade because he had a lot of team control and was a “fresh” arm despite being older. Thought there was at least a possibility they could flip him for something better. But needless to say it hasn’t worked out.

The Booser and Gilbert trades were just so bad in hindsight.

Hanser Alberto. Guy was a bum.

His stuff looked better than I thought. He’s still fairly young too. Maybe they have something in him.

If he keeps playing like this, 2 years/$40 million will look like a bargain.

Seems like they made the right choice to keep him. He will be more valuable in the offseason at this rate.

Josh Naylor and Devin Williams.

I read they optioned all 3 guys they got for Houser to AAA, but hopefully that’s not true. Mead at the very minimum should be in Chicago.

I’m fine with the trade, but don’t know why they immediately optioned Mead to AAA. He should take Josh Rojas spot.

I’m getting concerned they won’t even trade Houser.

The fact that he has an extra year of control should make him even more valuable as a trade chip, I would think.

I like Tauchman but don’t understand why they would keep him unless the offers are terrible. He’s old and won’t be here when the team could be good again.

Can you send a link to the article? I’d be interested in reading it. Thanks!

I’m thinking this is because teams want to see proof that he’s healthy before they pull the trigger on trading for him.

Better be getting Miller and Crawford then if Taylor is going the other way.

This was my thought too. But then someone else made another good point that it wouldn’t make sense to put an injury out there given his history. Who knows. Either way I don’t think he will be here for much longer.
