I'm thinking that once Kluber signs, all the dominoes start to fall.
He may not be the very next big signing.

God I hope not.
It took the guy five weeks just to get on a mound and throw a few pitches. Think he is going to mull through 15-20 offers faster than that?
Nothing too enlightening...

This whole offseason hasn’t been enlightening. MLB Hot stove used to be great. Then again, lots of things that used to be great aren’t anymore. Sign of the times I guess
Maybe we just need to reset our clocks and start thinking of Hot Stove as being January and February not December and early January.

SP: Odorizzi
SP: Kluber
RP: Hand
2B/OF: E Hernandez
4thOF: Marisnik
Trade Beni for RP Lopez

If you get good health from Odorizzi/Kluber/Sale/Erod? 60/40
I think this team will look more like a 25/75 chance of making the playoffs. The offense will carry this team. If the bullpen can be average and the starting pitching isn't a disaster, they'll be in contention in mid September.
If the season were starting tomorrow it would be a 5/95 chance at making the playoffs.
If it walks like collusion and talks like collusion, it's collusion.
What if we added Ozuna instead of Marisnik?
1. Bogey SS
2. Verdugo CF
3. Ozuna LF
4. Devers 3B
5. JD DH
6. Dalbec 1B
7. Renfroe RF
8. Vaz C
9. Hernandez 2B
Bench: Plawecki, Arroyo, Chavis
SP: Sale, Eovaldi, ERod, Odorizzi, Kluber, Pivetta
RP: Hand, Lopez, Barnes, Brasier, DHern, Houck, Taylor, Brice, Whitlock

Maybe 70/30, but only because of the question marks in the rotation. If I knew ERod would be healthy, I'd mark them in as a WC team.
If it walks like collusion and talks like collusion, it's collusion.
What is the fascination with Jake Marisnick? He topped a .700 OPS one time in his career and needed to cheat to do it. The Sox would be better off with Albert Almora or Kevin Pillar...
With a lot of snow outs...
Not even expectations.
Season is going to start in FL most likely.
