They need to extend Devers.
Abreu is normally a big bat, but took a weird trend last year.
Abreu does have a 135 OPS+ the past 3 seasons. Brandon Belt has a 140 over the same stretch. Of course, Abreu has a massive advantage in games played in that timeframe. But maybe bring a DH can keep Belt in one piece for a while…
Abreu would have been a good add, but I do understand not getting into a bidding war with so many holes to fill.
Kahnle? I think I’d rather find a healthier pitcher before gambling, given how many injury issues the Sox could already have…
Kahnle was always going to be a polarizing figure on this forum. Had the Sox signed him, he’d be another injury-prone dumpster dive. But since we lost him to the Yankees, now he was not valued properly.
I never thought of him as anything. He was not one of the relievers I liked this off-season (two of whom have already signed elsewhere) and I would have assumed him to be a health risk…
I’ve been suggesting nothing but defensive improvements and calling them out as such.
Gallo in RF is a massive improvement over the Sox post-Bradley (also pre-Bradley/post-Betts).
Andrus if you are not going thing big at SS is the defensive way to go.
Ok granted thoughts of Wilson Contreras behind the plate are probably a step down from Reese McGuire…
That’s probably why the Padres talked to Turner.
Trea has already moved off shortstop to play 2b and CF. Bogaerts is reluctant.
The Padres will eventually trade for Cleveland’s Ames Rosario, whose has also willingly gone to the outfield, and make him their new 2b or CF or 1b or whatever…
Of course about 20 teams have made no moves above the level of minor league contract. The Yankees, Dodgers, Jays, Cardinals, Giants, Cubs, White Sox, etc. Not like the Red Sox are watching the entire league fill holes while they remain idle…
