greg775 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 My view is different. In fact, I'm upset the Sox didn't sign him to a minor league deal. The chances of Eloy making it are the same as say, Robert, who also has proven nothing. In another throwaway season coming up, why didn't we reacquire Eloy. He still looks good in a uniform so to speak and if he's gonna save his career with a breakout year, why not with the Sox. Risk/reward. We should have picked him up. Cmon. He'd be as good as anybody we currently have for the outfield. Beni, Robert and Eloy on paper "again" would be potentially a winning threesome. Potentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge the team does not have a DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why though? That should go to literally anyone else at this point. Even me. God knows I've been to more Sox games than Eloy has. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 I would bet money that if the Sox would be the last team Eloy would sign a MiLB deal with after hearing his comments while with the Os Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you had the negative optics of often jogging down to 1B to preserve what remained of his health.
