I don’t want to look like I’m defending the Sox FO here, but at some point you’re comparing an initial offer to a final offer and assuming those are the only two offers that ever existed. …

2b: Story
SS: E Hernandez
CF: Laureano
RF: Gallo
But for pitching? Maybe sign Fulmer and move Houck back to the rotation like they clearly want to…
The Mets gave up former first round pick and soon-to-be BA Top 100 prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong for two months of Javier Baez.

If Story cannot play shortstop because of his arm strength, Swanson’s healthy arm strength is the same as Story’s post-elbow inflammation arm strength. Story was down to 79.1mph after getting hurt; Swanson was at 79.2mph last year.

I think that’s the more the Sox want to be in - wrapping up younger stars before free agency.
The big issue has been waiting too long to get it done. Not everyone is Bogaerts and signs one year before free agency.

Other than catharsis, which is absolutely a legitimate reason, what purpose does complaining about it on a web forum that no one in the Sox FO has probably ever even heard of serve?
