Those are positive too. 7 hours ago, maxjusttyped said: Teams seem to value framing much higher than the general public, even fans on here. They will take great framers who allow a ton of passed balls which is a profile most fans don't like. And what are the teams telling us about Gary Sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I get the angst about anything the sox do......BUT, at this point Gary Sanchez would be very good addition to this team, if that is what happens. He had a good year behind the plate last year and he provides power at the plate, something we severely lacked last year. The other aspect of this is who are you going to get at the Catcher position right now that is better than Gary Sanchez? Don't forget Yaz hit 3 homeruns last year and basically sucked as a catcher.

Are they actually going to cut Yaz or would they keep the more expensive player and cut Zavala? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) I think the only way this is possibly true is if the Sox believe Grandal is cooked. Problem is that no matter what they do, they're still stuck with Grandal's salary. Edited January 13, 2023 by hogan873 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 IF this rumor were to be true (big if)…does that mean they know something contrary to Grandal’s back improving that we’ve been seeing? Because Seby is out of options correct? Can’t see any possibility of carrying 3 catchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal just becomes the backup 1B + spot start catcher. And if he is indeed broken, you can cut him and bring Sheets up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a rational move in my view. If Grandad can still walk and swing he can play some first base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
