He OPS'd 719 last season. May as well just throw Sogard over there. 

If we’re going internal, go with Romy.  Which, if he can maintain last year’s exit velocity, might not be a bad thing.  Although I’m fairly certain he had a disproportionate number of plate appearances against LHP.

Grissom might work, too…

Romy's defense has been pretty rough over at 3B when given the opportunity. I think Romy takes a considerable step backwards this year and people start to ask for him to be DFA'd.

His metrics have him roughly average, but he’s only logged 548 innings at 3b over 4 seasons.  
 

I think Devers is the 3b next season, much to the chagrin of the pitching staff.  That so many in the org want Bregman for 2b just re-enforces my belief that Cora cares very little about defense…

He has 548 innings at 2B and 105 at 3B.

Buehler on a short prove me contract would be a get for the Sox. I think he turned the corner on his comeback in the playoffs. He has big game experience and i think would be a positive in a Sox playoff push in 2025. It's still Burns as first choice, but Buehler is my second choice of the remaining FA starters.

You drank the Kool-Aid, after we warned you dozens of times.

"It's a sham! The ownership doesn't do anything!" 

*ownership signs a starter for 21AAV*

"Not like that! Someone else! Sham! Sham! Sham!"

It's like something has broken in him. 😐

I get it. The past few years have been really rough on everyone. People need to give themselves a little break once in a while though.

Still shopping in the Irregular bins and picking through dumpsters.  I have seen this before where they sign a bunch of injured pitchers hoping that one or 2 will contribute.  It is a recipe for losing.

Getting injured pitchers is the new market inefficiency!

What broke is our pitchers.

The solution: sign more pitchers with injury histories and hope the don't all end up on the IL, at the same time. Sorry, if I'm not jumping on your bandwagon, just yet.

Just don't call it a "sham," I guess.
