They spend a lot on short term contracts and contracts for relievers. It isn't cheap, but it isn't a huge financial commitment for difference making players.

It's the optics of that more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Statcast graded him out as average in 19/20 but every other year he's been about -5 in outs-above-average out in RF, including last year (-6). So somewhat below average but not awful would be a reasonable description so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, if Kopech isn't available, he's surely good to go. No that's not what I said. I said they are going to need to put kopech on a strict innings limit so he can be ready. They don't need another pitcher that needs this same treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 23 minutes ago, Tony said: Of course it does. Let's say he was in line for a 5 year, 100 million dollar deal. You still think the Sox shouldn't have "risked" offering the QO, because there was a chance he accepted the 1 year deal, instead of taking a 5 year commitment? Because if what he got really doesn't matter, that's still how you would think, which makes zero sense. If this is the case then they read the market correctly as he didn't get 5 years at 100. He got 2 years at 44. You're right where is does make a difference if he got the long term deal thus they were sure he would turn down the qualifying offer. However the deal was close enough that he may have accepted the QO and the Sox would have been stuck with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the solution to not having enough starting pitching depth is to imagine how things would be worse with an extra pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This didn't make the Yankees any better in our short window, so I am a bit whelmed on this deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
