I don't hate the Sandoval signing for the Sox, but it just feels like it signals that's more or less it for the rotation. And doing so on a guy who may not pitch a whole lot this year isn't ideal.

Sandoval is more of a signing for 2026. He will miss at least half of this season and will be eased back in. I still think they add a guy like Flaherty because the current rotation looks pretty suspect.

Then they can still add a bat like Teoscar or Santander to the mix. Bregman seems unlikely. An Arenado trade seems possible.

Yeah, but his career OPS is .892

Can't say the Yankees haven't spent the money that Soto left behind. IMO they are a better team than they were at the end of the season

It's an encouraging sign, but it's also well below his career average. If you get 2023 Goldy, it's a pretty fair signing IMO.

Only question is if Goldy can do it for a full season. He was so bad the 1H then pretty good overall the 2H. Give them that over 2/3 or 3/4 of the season…that is fine
