If we sign Cruz to a 1-year deal and he falls off a cliff, there isn't a ton of downside. We'd just be back to where we are now: hoping Vaughn rakes as a rookie. Expand If you follow the thread, I was responding to a post relating to discussion of a two year deal for Cruz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The difference the between Sox offer and the Phillies when your going to get $125M is pretty negligible compared to the difference between let's say $11 and $15 for a 1 year deal.

Bob Sacamano Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Fuck it. Sign Cruz to 1 year deal with an option, push to deal Madrigal (along with others) as the center piece in a deal for Zac Gallen (controllable for 5 years) but if that doesn't work, offer Vaughn instead.

If there's no NL DH then he's cheaper, but then you cant use him in half the World Series. Lets be happy to raise this price on the Twins so they cheap out on pitching (and we can thank Hector for facilitating) Expand Going by the Twins’ twenty year history, the odds here aren’t great...of getting past the divisional series.

Expand Which is a great reason to have interest. Make the Twins give Cruz a sizable multi-year deal, and hope father time FINALLY catches up to him. I'd be fine having Cruz on an EE deal, but I also am more than fine with Vaughn and Abreu splitting 1B/DH duties for 21. What the Sox really need is a guy who can play everywhere, and ideally bat left handed. Since LaStella is gone, another former Twin Marwin Gonzalez would be my guy.
