The only ones that benefited from JR's actions back then was the Indians. This time it will be the Tigers. They're not that far away.

Love it. Great strategy. That's why you become an owner. Different topic - props to you from weeks ago where you said that the Dec. 1 deadline would produce a ton of movement right beforehand. I thought everyone would wait until after the dust settled and there was a firm agreement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you have an owner who refuses to every put out a 9 figure deal, for anyone. He's not going to do it all of a sudden for Guasman or Ray. Not with that limited of a track record.

Jack, I suspect JR had to be dragged kicking and screaming for that offer a few years ago. He doesn't like paying pitchers big money (to him, 100m plus is prolly big money). The idea that the FO was gonna get him to agree to do that PLUS a big investment at either RF or 2B is not realistic. If they want two big splashes they can probably buy one and trade Vaughn or some other big time youngster for the other. They aren't buying both.

I don't think the lockout has anything to do with it on their end. Conforto is a target and if he agreed today (or tomorrow) its done.

South Side Hit Men Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Ray and Gausman were solid deals, Matz was a steal. Sad the Sox couldn’t land one of these three, or even attempt to do so. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad the Sox couldn’t land one of these three, or even attempt to do so. I still don't see how starting pitching is our biggest weakness. 2B by far is the biggest issue and RF right behind it (although if I have to live with Vaughn there then so be it). Since we have a cheap owner, that's where we need to concentrate in using whatever "limited" resources these clowns have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
