cory clubber, here's a guy 36
years old, just a few years
younger than chris young he gets
a deal, it's a $10 million deal
with the boston Red Sox won two
cy youngs in his career, both
with Cleveland, this is a
veteran, he knows how to pitch
velocity is a bit down but he
joins this group sale pavetti,
Garrett, Whitlock, James, paxton
, Corey Clubber rounding that
out, we'll see where he fits in.
But what's interesting about
this is the news that came
across the wire towards the end
of are show yesterday and it was
Nathan Eovaldi getting a two
year deal, a former red sock
choose not to bring back And he
goes to Texas Rangers.
So what do you make of this
planned be, they don't keep the
guy they had in Eovaldi to give
won year 10 million Corey Kluber
this is one of those situations
that we on this side of the game
, we are trying to understand
what the plan is moving forward
and I feel like it's been a lot
of conflicting messages that
we've seen with the red socks
this year.
Yes U lose Eovaldi, you lose J.
D. Martinez, you lose bogey,
then you bring in Justin Turner
Kenley Jansen was a great
signing and then Yoshida, I
think that's an amazing signing
as well because I feel like he's
an on base guy that can make a
big difference in that offence
but when your taking Bogaerts
out and replacing them.
But essentially you know
hopefully the same guy if all
things work out with the success
you had last year clearly need
to do more, it's like you need
to keep those guys and then
continue to add pieces as
opposed to just replacing.
But I'm curious to see what move
still have in the making.
I don't know how many shortstop
options are out there any more
because everybody has sign, but
it's a lot of concern on the
infield with story at shortstop.
Can he handled that on a day to
day basis?
Who's going to play a second?
Are you missing maybe a couple
bats in the outfield?
There's a lot of questions that
the red sox still have, but it's
early.
I mean the spring training
hasn't shown up yet, so you have
to make some moves right now,
but just I'm trying to
understand the direction that
they're going such an incredible
fan base.
Honestly, like we sitting here
think boston's always going to
be in the mix and they are and
maybe this is a little, maybe
this is a year that there kind
of just seeing where they go.
But I know this, you know, you
look at like the cardinals, you
look at boston, you look at new
york, like a, these fan bases,
like they love, they're teams
right and I don't know, I just,
I, I think this is, it's a nice
signing, he is from the area,
you know, you look at Rich Hill
yesterday signed with Pittsburgh
, you know, he is going back
home and uh, you know, I like
the movie, I love, I love Kluber
, I think Kluber will add to
your club because of who he is
and how she goes about his
business.
If they dont ad another player
as it stands right now, if I
made you guys give me
predictions for the AL east, are
the boston Red sox in the last
place, they're probably in the
same position in my opinion
because of what I said, mainly
because you havent necessarily
gotten better, you just replace
some pieces that you previously
had, but did you replace them
with better options than what
you're already had in house and
only time will tell, but I agree
with Tommy right there, Yes, I
love clubber, it's just the fact
that were replacing Eovaldi, we
could have kept Eovaldi and then
bring, that's a completely
different, You talk about the
fan base, they're not big fans
of rebuilding their, the boston
Red sox theno what we know and
they're probably going to be
picked last.
The Baltimore Orioles are only
getting better.
That's a Jung team with up and
coming superstars on the roster
, this is the last place, teams
still going into opening day and
I cant see fans in boston being
okay with, you know, they're not
going to be happy, you know,
this is a and it's amazing, you
know, going in there, like they
want to win every game every
year and that's what's different
about this, this direction that
they're going.
