Vote4Pedro Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I still would like them to add Tepera if Kimbrel is traded….just not a believer still in Crochet, wish that Velocity came back last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, we all know how much the Sox like guys with power sinkers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Kimbrel is traded you still have Ruiz and Burr there, so one more upgrade would be nice, especially if it's a lefty so Crochet can be a long guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruiz is out of options and too good to be DFA'd. I think his spot in the pen is secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruiz has a 3.94 career ERA, so he's not too good to be DFA, but even so Burr is probably the next man out and not Ruiz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisebri224 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Trade Kimbrel for a bag of balls to dump salary, trade for Manaea, sign Conforto and Tepera or Diekman and it’s on. I still can see all of it but Conforto….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to say Ruiz is a stud or anything, but guys who throw 97 don't get DFA'd coming off a year with 65 IP and a 3 ERA. Especially when they're making the minimum.

He was better last year and I won't hate it if he's on the team, but he's not a reason to stand pat and not look to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bear_brian Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 If the Sox acquire another starter - Manaea?? - there is no room for another BP arm as long as the roster limit is 26. That assumes trading Kimbrel and having to keep Keuchel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I know it's early but back to the old question....if they don't trade Kimbrel, do they have him close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
