So put something towards an extension or 2.

1. Bradish - innings limit
2. Rogers - could be a 2nd ace, likely to regress some though - could be a 3 or 4
3. Baz - high ceiling, primed to put it all together, hasn't yet
4. Kremer - is Dean Kremer
5. Eflin - injury concerns & collapsed in 2025
Get a closer
Get Kittredge
2 big trades
And then whiff on every big arm & leave big rotation & depth questions
What otherwise has been a massive offseason gets an incomplete score without a surprise big trade
Gallen is fine but not a big deal addition

And I get it .. my whole family went to Penn State, who cares about more than 7 or 8 bowls max?
But as a Delaware grad and season ticket holder, I am so hyped for our 1st ever bowl tonight!

1. Valdez (some character questions, but would trust our staff & team to make that not be an issue)
Gap
2. Imai (electric stuff, young - unproven)
3. King (electric stuff, injury concerns)
Gap
4. Suarez (great results, concerning velocity)

King, 30, was 18-12, 3.10 for the Padres the last two seasons. Profiles as the No. 2 the Sox need. We'll see if they step up.
King certainly knows the terrain of the AL East.

Ideally something like:
1. Addition
2. Bradish
3. Rogers
4. Addition
5. Kremer
And Cabrera would be an excellent 2nd addition.
Gotta go after King, Imai or Valdez still. But would be a good get

This is a "no more excuses" offseason
We don't get the talent we need, then Mike should be on the hot seat. Explanations be damned
Im not there over this. In fact im encouraged by this, that they offered that
But it cant mirror last yr's "well at least we tried"

THAT SAID. Cant go "well we tried" like we did last yr
Overpay & get a premium SP.
And if you really want to go for it, Pete Alonso too.

1 of King & Suarez
1 of Schwarber & Alonso
And a set up man for the pen.
And call it an offseason.
Happy to be delusional until it's impossible lol
(There are other small moves you could do to sure up the pen more and outfield, etc. But this would work haha)
