The “Don’t know what it will cost, besides dignity” Plan:

  • Bring back Omar Vizquel as a coach
  • Trade for SS Wander Franco
  • Sign SS Addison Russel
  • Sign OF Odúbel Herrera
  • Sign SP Julio Urias
  • Sign SP Trevor Bauer
  • Re-sign SP Clevinger
  • Sign SP/RP Carlos Martinez
  • Sign RP Aroldis Chapman
  • Sign RP Roberto Osuna
  • Trade (or re-sign after non-tendered) RP Jimmy Cordero

I couldn’t get myself to actually make this the full Plan.

Just starting my draft and oh boy does Getz have his work cut out. No idea how you don’t just waive the white flag on 2024 and move onto doing things that make sense for 2025 but that is probably the direction I am going to go. Gotta think the budget is going to be much closer to 165 then 185 but we will see if Jerry keeps his word on actually wanting to pretend to contend in 2024.

Regarding a Rule 5 pick, it would be difficult to factor into an OPP, but drafting high can bring in a useful position player (or at least superior to a lot of what the Sox trotted out last season). Last year, Noda went second and Sabol fourth. After that was all pitchers.
