I think the Kimbrel return and how much money we shed will determine whether we make another move after that. Expand Conforto is gone, dude. It's over. They are allergic to left handed savages. They are allergic to making an actual viable plan for winning a title. Just let it go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Outman isn't bad choice among those 4. I don't think the Sox would have to eat much of Kimbrels contract either for him. Made a big leap at AA last year. Got some MLB time with the Dodgers. Could be used in a trade for a pitcher with Oakland. Line at AA in 166 AB was .289 , .369, .518 .887 K's too much. Maybe get a 2nd piece and eat more contract.

His MVP season looks to be the outlier. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/bellico01.shtml Expand How much of that is legitimate, and how much of that is some pretty nasty injuries. https://dodgers.mlblogs.com/injury-update-cody-bellingers-rib-fracture-sends-him-to-injured-list-de47768dba8c Quote The Dodger outfielder played through his latest ailment for three games last week, but a non-displaced rib fracture on his left side forced him to the injured list Tuesday. It’s his third stint on the IL this season. Bellinger missed nearly two months with a hairline fracture in his left leg and 10 games with left hamstring tightness earlier this year. Both of those issues occurred in the season’s first half, making it difficult for the former 2019 National League MVP to find his rhythm in 2021. He is batting .159/.237/.291 with nine home runs in 89 games this year. Expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
