I don’t see a reason to sign Flexen at this point.  Wilson will likely compete with Smith (and others) for the #5 spot coming out of spring training.  Loser will likely be the swing man to start the year.  Scholtens will be at some point.  And then you have a ton of arms in AAA right on the cusp.

If you want to add more SP depth, I’d do so on a minor league deal and not sure Flexen is going to be game for that.

We are going to go through a TON of pitchers again.

This team could you an extra long-reliever or two with how inexperienced and young the rotation is.

I think they just "need" a veteran starter regardless.

"Extra long-reliever or two" as in carry 2 or 3. Not just one.

We will, but you only have so many major league roster spots.  We will likely need to rely on guys like Nastrini, Bush, & Iriarte (and eventually Adams) to make a lot of starts.  We also have Shuster & Scholtens to fill in as necessary.  I think that should be plenty with a couple AAAA type signings.

Take on Jordan Montgomery as a salary dump with a prospect. See if he can bounce back with a normal off-season/Spring Training.

There will also be plenty of injuries and DFA's.  This staff is going to go through 25-30 pitchers by the end of the year.

Unfortunately, it’s getting pretty obvious that the Sox are only interested in dumping salary, not taking any on.  I doubt Jerry would approve the wise move you suggest that other smart teams have done before when their payroll is so low and rebuilding is the current strategy.

$22.5 million and coming off a 1.65 WHIP and 67 ERA+???

What kind of Diamondbacks prospect are we talking, because JR's seemingly planning a $50 million-ish target for Sox 2025 payroll and that alone would represent a 45% increase.

 

The Benintendi Experience is enough to scare them off multi-year contracts for veterans in their 30's, lol.  There's just no way that JR would even consider it, even for even a Top 30-50 MiLB prospect.
