I don't like Mujica as a backup plan. My guess is they could insert one of their live arms in the minors to be closer for a little bit if they needed to.
But but but "let's wait and see" isn't a hot take! We need to yell about something because they were bad last year and the FO sucks and the pitching is literally the worst ever in the MLB and ticket prices are going up and it's all about NESN ratings and and and and... Huff huff huff...
I'd reinstate Muggah, Pumpsie and Suns. I'd also try to win back Jung and Soxsport. I'd also install a Zero f***s Friday where you can talk all the s*** you want, but it can only be on Fridays.
My order would be Owens/Swihart/Rodriguez. Rodriguez is interesting, but Owens has a wow factor for me. His ceiling is CY. Rodriguez could be solid 2 or 3.
