"Well, players should just want to play for the Sox by taking LESS money and not caring if they are traded a year or two into their contract. He clearly just didn't want to be here. It had nothing to do with us not wanting him or getting outbid!"
Sure, but they already have pretty ridiculous depth.

I'm old, but not "remembers Mario Mendoza's playing days" old. I did know that he's who the Mendoza line was created for.
I remember Yaz Day, but anything before that I was too young to really pay attention.
You might get positive regression from the pitchers, but you'll definitely see negative regression from Cal and Naylor. TBH Donovan and Durbin are the same player except that Durbin can play 150 games.
I don't care about Banda. I'm just making assumptions on what Breslow may or may not like. He dumped all the high bb guys this offseason (Guerrero, Hicks, Murphy, Bernardino, Winckowski, Harrison) except for Moran.
Coulombe is too short.
Honestly, he probably does have it scheduled somewhat. There's probably a certain amount of games played before you take a day off.
Brock Holt said what he liked most about Cora was that he was a great communicator and he always knew in advance what his schedule was going to be.
