    2024: Jorge Soler 422 SLG, 754 OPS, 113 wRC+ Justin Turner 370 SLG, 717 OPS, 111 wRC+ Masataka Yoshida 403 SLG, 747 OPS, 110 wRC+ JD Martinez 408 SLG, 728 OPS, 108 wRC+ Yoshida's right in line with 3 other guys that this place has wanted to be our DH at various points. Sox need to see this contract through for better or worse.

    Pivetta 2024: 145 innings, 4.14 ERA This isn't some insurmountable climb! That's 2022 or 2023 Patrick Sandoval. Pivetta career: 223 G, 11.9 fWAR, 10.3 bWAR Buehler career: 131 G, 15.0 fWAR, 12.2 bWAR If I'm trying to build a playoff rotation, I want the guy with upside. That's Buehler. It may not work, but we had Pivetta for 4+ years and that didn't go very far.

    The Sale saga should show you that oft injured pitchers with great stuff in their past can pull out a CY season in the right environment.
  4. mvp 78
    Yup, wait for the Sox to actually start losing and everything falls off the rails before proclaiming the season over. They went over .500 last year and added at TOTR stud. They should be as good if not a little better regardless of losing the mid players that left town.

    And Abreu!

    Cohen was always going to outbid the Sox. If the Sox bid 800M, the Mets would have gone higher. The Mets and Sox could duke it out all year for Soto while all the other FA's go elsewhere. Henry put a line in the sand at 700M (or two Mookie Betts contracts). Not sure how you can be even miffed at that.
  7. mvp 78
    Cots is whatever at this point. It's valuable for historical stuff, but that's about it for me.
  8. mvp 78
    Getting injured pitchers is the new market inefficiency!
  9. mvp 78
    I think it will be the Padres, but the Sox have shown interest!
  10. mvp 78
    Ah still not understanding anything anyone else posts?
  11. mvp 78
    "They big 5.5M on Sasaki knowing it wouldn't be enough." It's the same argument, but you'd be ok with them missing out on Sasaki ONLY IF THEY MAX OUT THEIR IFA MONEY IN THEIR BID.
  12. mvp 78
    I don't think they go with a six man rotation, but I bet it's something being discussed internally. I would not trade Crawford just because he doesn't have a current spot in the rotation. Anyone of the other 5 starters could go down at a moment's notice. Having him as insurance is huge for the club.
  13. mvp 78
    They can max out what the have available and it will still be less than the 8 teams you mentioned. Also, are we giving Henry credit for missing out on Soto and Fried or not? I guess we shouldn't be too upset with ownership if they were willing to pay 700M this offseason, but got outbid.
  14. mvp 78
    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.
  15. mvp 78
    Obviously it's a switch on Henry's back like Vicki from Small Wonder.
  16. mvp 78
    Moon is very Grinchy today for some reason. I will let him be upset that the Sox acquired Crochet, Buehler, Sandoval and Chapman BEFORE Christmas. There's more work to be done obviously. Just relax a little.
  17. mvp 78
    No it really isn't Pumpsie.
  18. mvp 78
    No, they can't. Go read up on what teams are allowed to bid on Sasaki before continuing down this path.
  19. mvp 78
    "It's a sham! The ownership doesn't do anything!" *ownership signs a starter for 21AAV* "Not like that! Someone else! Sham! Sham! Sham!"
  20. mvp 78
    Flaherty has similar injury red flags to Buehler. It's just picking your poison at that point. At least they went out and grabbed a starter to better their rotation. I didn't think there was any realistic chance they'd be shopping at the top of the market for a starter once they traded for Crochet.
  21. mvp 78
    When the Sox miss out on Sasaki, everyone is going to blame Henry for some reason. There are clear arguments for Henry being cheap, missing out on Roki Sasaki will not be one of them.
  22. mvp 78
    He has 548 innings at 2B and 105 at 3B.
  23. mvp 78
    I've stated before that with that amount coming off the books next season, they should be able to go over the CBT and reset immediately without really limiting themselves.
  24. mvp 78
    Crochet isn't the only guy that needs an extension (Campbell, Anthony and others would be good business).
  25. mvp 78
    It's how Henry gets to save money. Can't get the premium arms.
