We're waiting until 2026 now?

Kiké was nothing but a backup until he came to Boston. Vaz was nothing but a backup in HOU. If you look at his overall numbers, Vaz may not be a top 20 catcher anymore. Defensively, he has fallen way off too. Is McGuire the long term answer? No. Is Wong? No. Maybe in a few years either Hickey or Brannon can be their guy. Until then, they can either find some defensive first guys on the cheap or they'll have to likely trade for somebody. The Sox won in 2013 with Ross and Saltalamachia as backstops, so they don't need a dynamic player at the position to be competitive.

BTV strapped a rocket to him.
-
Don't.
-
Ok? Give Reese 8 years and maybe he collects a few of those as well.
-
It's not that he "missed" Springs, it's that he wasn't patient enough for Springs.
-
If moon was the GM, you could be sure that Berti would be on the Sox next year. 100%!
-
Yoikes.
-
McGuire was pretty good. At least as good as Vaz.
-
Yup.
-
But if his instincts are right, why is he giving up on them? What about guys like Osich? Brice? Deikman?
-
Schreiber was decent in AAA last season. I think the only reason he didn't get more of a shot in the pen last year is that it didn't fall apart the way this year's pen did.
-
I just thought if we're already Tampa North that we may as well be Miami North too and go all out.
-
With Perez, it could be a one year blip. He did increase his sinker usage and it was very effective for him.
-
With Springs, they spoke about the reasons they liked him during 2022 (spin rates, k rates, etc) and considered him a potential late inning guy. Not sure why they didn't give him another shot. He had flashes in 2022, more so than the other dreck out there in the pen.
-
Are they going to throw in the HR sculpture?
-
He's more athletic than he looks!
-
I don't think they are going to trade anything substantial for a backup catcher.
-
They valued WONG more than Plawecki. Keeping a 3rd catcher on the roster served no purpose down the stretch. They needed to give Wong additional reps with the pitching staff, but also needed filler like Almonte to hold a glove and stand in the OF.
-
Fortunately, that's not how the playoffs work.
-
Well, every team has internal options for a 4th OF if you are going to go down to AAA.

I agree. I'm not too sure which direction they are going to go with on Paxton, but just increases the uncertainty surrounding the rotation IMO. The Sox need a new version of Porcello, someone who can take the ball every 5th day and be counted on.

And I didn't even have to take out my slide rule this time!

They could start it in 23 with a lower dollar amount.
