Jose Abreu Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 1 minute ago, fathom said: Still think Sox desperately need one more bench piece, with Holt being the perfect fit. Right now we’re a few injuries away from seeing way too much Leury and Engel again. I agree and I think we'll sign a bench player in the coming days. Just now, chitownsportsfan said: Twins aren't fooling around. It's good for MLB to have interest outside the traditional large markets and it creates excitement of which the Sox have a legit shot to participate in down the stretch. Good. Yeah, the bright side is absolutely that it makes for a more entertaining sport. Hopefully it motivates Jerry to continue spending, too. This offseason was a great start, but a massive finishing move might be all we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season would probably be fubar anyways. I'd like to see them keep their powder dry and if anything look to bring in more pitching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a move for the next 3 years traded for the next 6 really. Good move by the Twins. Weakens them tho big time if his 31 year old arm gets hurt. Then the control means nothing. It's a gamble, calculated one tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I've heard that the Dodgers wanted Bummer in return for Joc Pederson. They couldn't match up. Dodgers priorities changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Why do people think the Twins are only all in for this season? They have another 2 to 3 years of high level of play and money to spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVAH I did say at the time that the sox were in danger of the opportunity cost of you know actually getting a RF proven good instead of this hopeful mazara biz.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Are the Dodgers sending more players to the Red Sox or did they really only trade Alex Verdugo and Kenta Maeda for Mookie freakin Betts and David Price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCCWS Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Twins probably got better but I think this takes a WC contender in Boston out of the race. Improves our chances. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Maeda's contract is structured to where he has to start a certain amount of games or something weird before he goes to the pen, and it's all incentive based iirc. That Pederson return gave me AIDs. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your argument makes no sense. The Angels are just another team like the White Sox, and they gave up jack squat for Joc. What was stopping the Sox from making a crappy offer for Joc?

But we already traded for a RF that they want to give a chance to at a cheaper price and has 2 years of control. What are you missing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
