You could theoretically bring him back for a couple mill. Giving him the $5M we would have gotten in arb would have been insane.

That being said, just give those at bats to guys already in the org (Sosa, Baldwin, Amaya, etc.).  Colson will factor into the infield mix by June too.  

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Braden Shewmake?  After getting demoted early the season, he played of a bit in Charlotte, hit the IL and never heard an update rest of season.  Kinda weird.  

Shewmake injured his ankle in spring training, and was supposed to miss opening day. He came back miraculously quick. Maybe it just gave out in June, and that was it.

I feel a little sorry for Nicky. He came and gave us a season that was totally in line with his career numbers and he didn't get hurt every few weeks. This was far more than can be said about most of the people on the 2024 team.

Bringing him in alone wasn't a problem.  Bringing him as a defensive savior and starter was the problem

Making room for Gav.  

Payroll lol?

This is getting more pathetic by the day that we're creating space for a guy who has almost no positives other than being left-handed but is in no conceivable way part of the next playoff team.

And they wonder why attendance is to the point of collapsing the next two seasons...

Don't think he's referring to Gavin Sheets.

Why in God's name would we want Lux at SS for two years before losing him after arbitration runs out?

The Dodgers reliably prove where guys like Grandal Vargas and Peralta do and don't belong on the field, but we just disregard their findings because the Sox have such a good record with fixing players defensively.

You mean like the Bummer trade?

Sure Lux over Amaya at SS.

Likely they already are targeting Montgomery for third and don't have an internal replacement (Baldwin more utility guy), but the main point would just be turning around and flipping Lux for a prospect at some point after his value had magically bounced back to a higher point again.

Who is going to lead off? The Schrif told us Nicky really took to leading off.  He wasn't Rickey Henderson, but pretty close.

We missed out on a good "Nicky Henderson" opportunity there, no?

I’ll pass on having either Gavin on the roster.  They are both stinky lefty bats that can barely OPS .700.

Definitely sounds like a terrible Getz acquisition, just like the majority of his others, so I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it happens.  I’m sure Lux’s bat would boom moving from LA to the Sox, just like Vargas.  🤣

Robert + prospects for Lux.  Crochet + Benintendi for crap.  You and Getz really have a rock solid plan in place to fix this shitshow!

None of this makes any sense.

It’s just so insane.  We desperately need controllable talent and Harold is looking to dump a bad contract that we can afford and acquire an ok player with limited control left.  I refuse to believe Getz would actually do this stuff, but if he does, dear god are in we trouble.

It might be fun to watch all of baseball clown on Getz and Jerry as they lose 130 games and Getz keeps going "we're working on the fundamentals."

Yeah if that all happened, you’re looking at around 250 losses over 2 seasons. Might be the case trading Crochet and Robert in good deals regardless.
