Chisoxfn Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 3 minutes ago, quickman said: I very much agree. A fourth or fifth starter for some early innings and if that person goes down in June then we bring up kopech or crochet. I think that will and should be the last piece. If they want mazzara for 2 million to compete that’s fine otherwise we are done. Not because I want to be done but because Jerry is done and the payroll is done.. for now Exactly - as long as they have someone to eat innings...if in June the team is rolling but we recognize we need a more elite arm for the final push...no reason at that point Rick can't go out and make a trade at that point in time to push the club over the top. No reason the team has to push all their chips in over the off-season vs. letting certain things play out over course of the season. Add a solid vet starter who can eat some innings, provide depth and buy time to evaluate internal options (Kopech, Crochet, etc) or determine we have a bigger need and have to leverage some prospects to get another front line arm.

Literally no point to have Mazara. The Sox aren't spending 10 million a year on a back up OF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EloyJenkins Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) So getting the 3rd best starting pitcher available, the best closer in MLB and allowing your absolute stud DH prospect actually play is an underwhelming off-season? Okay cool. Glad that this team will be a 95 win embarrassment. Edited January 27, 2021 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a bag... and that comment is meant for Stoney and every FO member who won’t push Jerry to the limit to spend.. Literally same thing every year with this organization, there are players that are right there to help you improve the team’s chances of winning yet they want absolutely no part of them unless they fall into their lap.

If you told me they would spend 30 million this offseason, I wouldn’t have suggested the path they took. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay cool. Glad that this team will be a 95 win embarrassment. How is not an underwhelming offseason? I’m definitely happy with those two moves, but we still have a below average payroll while rocking a reclamation project in RF, a kid with 245 minor league plate appearances at DH, and a ton of uncertainty at the back of our rotation. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be a good team next year, it’s just frustrating we aren’t going all out during the first year of our competitive window.

At least we have a ton of talent and should still be really good, but the window is definitely going to be shortened when they decide to make Crochet a reliever full time and when they have to trade to fill holes at the deadline.

EloyJenkins Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) The crow to be had here when moncada is another 5+ war player, Vaughn is the real deal and madrigal wins a batting title is going to be so delicious. Should they have signed Bauer...yep. but this idea that one free agent was going to tip the scales from the best team in the division is really getting tiresome.

Man, I don’t know. Simmons is a nice pickup and fortifies the Twins defense. They at least made up some group that they lost to the Sox today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
