I don't see them adding Blaze anytime soon since he take a long time to adjust to new levels and hasn't OPS'd 700 in AA yet. The callup would be Kavadas or Scott IMO.
Bello
Kutter
Pivetta
Houck
Whitlock
Even Whitlock's career SP FIP and xFIP are better than Turnbull's and I don't want him anywhere near the rotation. Turnbull's one good season was a 9 game sample in '21 when he got injured. Hard to really bank on that.
And if you do only two years, Gray looks much better... Gray has a ceiling that is a notch above Stroman. Gray can give you ace-type performances and is a high K guy. That's why he's going to get paid more.
Regardless of how people feel about Bauer, the media is going to explode the day he signs, when he reports to camp, when he first pitches and when he first pitches during the regular season. It's just not worth it in a big market like Boston. He should sign a short term deal with the Rockies or some chump franchise and play good boy scout (he can't) for a little while.
Showcase him at Winter Fest and see how it goes! Have him only take questions from women, because he has a wonderful history online of being a weirdo when speaking to women (even if we simply ignore the assault stuff). People talk about Stroman as being a headcase. Bauer is just unstable.
I was assuming that Llovera and Weiss were already DFA'd per SoxProspects projections on post 1929. Dalbec is probably a DFA too, but they have nobody to backup 1B besides him right now.
Eloy is permanently injured and is just a DH now. It's an overpay by the Red Sox. I'd do it if they throw in Gregory Santos and we give them Hamilton to ease the 40 man burden.
