The issue is that acquiring guys at the deadline is very expensive prospect wise and JH only wants to grow this team through prospects rather than financial leverage. It's easier to make trades in the offseason when the price isn't being driven up by teams pushing for the postseason. We'll see if he's able to do it then or not. Last year, it was or not.
-
With all this losing over the past 11 games, they've gone from 4 games back in the WC to 4.5 back. Unbelievable!
-
Keep using that line. It'll hit one day.

The Verdugo trade was really good. That could have gone very bad. Slaten was good. I think his instincts aren't terrible. He's just inexperienced and has JH for an owner. I understand why people want to give him an F- though.
-
You can tell the effort they put in by what they do in the offseason. Being the "interest kings" isn't really doing all that they can. I'm sure the CBO would love to acquire top tier talent. Hard to do so when you are handcuffed. I think he new the restrictions when he took the job though.

Paxton wasn't much of a swing at all. Garcia pitched well for the Halos before the deal. Sims had good peripherals. It was an ok deadline, but nothing special. Better than '22 or '23 for the MLB team.
-
To me, a first year CBO wasn't going to be hitting 450' moonshots from day one. We're in this mess because of ownership. Breslow is going to have to grow into this role.
-
I just think I had reasonable expectations. It didn't seem like a playoff roster. If the owner isn't letting the CBO go over the CBT as he's holding the org up for the youth movement to show up, I don't know how much you are going to get out of the MLB squad. I've been down on the Sox outlook since the Mookie trade.

Criswell hasn’t gone 5 innings since July. He’s not a 100 pitch guy. He’s Cooper Criswell. -
Then Criswell comes out in the 5th and predictably gives up the game anyway and people complain about that.
-
My expectations have been met for the year. Not sure many of your expected playoffs back in March!
-
Imagine getting upset that Cooper Criswell was taken out of a game…
-
Perales was top 100 before the injury.
-
JH wants to build through the farm. We’re playing a waiting game unfortunately. A lot of pressure is being put on unproven guys.
-
To me, this team performed exactly how I expected: W/L% similar to last season but overall more enjoyable to watch with glimpses of hope for the future.
-
Overlooked because the franchise was lost in the wilderness from 91-97. Good player with one great season.
-
Revamped pitching dev makes me feel much better about the farm today than 12 months ago. mixed bag FA and trades (like most CBO/GMs) left the MLB team at about the same spot as before. first year grade: B
-
I’m not moonlighting at SI! All their articles are written by AI, right?
-
Losing 2 of 3 to DET is a good way to stay out of the playoff race. Ya blew it!
-
That’s not JBJ profile at all.
-
Not a playoff team
-
QO pivetta?!?!?!?!?!?!?
-
Henry isn’t going to heavily invest until the kids are ready if ever. Kids won’t be fully ready until 2026. If you can get a guy a year early like Beiber, go for it. His 2025 won’t matter all that much IMO.
-
No.
-
Ugly wins still count in the win column from what I’ve heard.
