I think Vaughn at DH day 1 is an upgrade over Edwin. Guy was said to have a major league ready bat this year so I'm excited to see what he can do. Ceiling is Frank Thomas

I would resign McCann and have him catch Giolito and Kopech 100% of the time.

If he's Frank Thomas they are gong to win the division by 15 games next year. It will be interesting to see what they do. If Bauer only wants a 1 year deal las it's been speculated it would be a no-brainer.

I wonder what they will do with Colome and McCann. Even if McCann isn't resigned they will need a defensive specialist. Grandal is not reliable. If Colome can be had on a one or two year deal I would do that. Don't want to have to rely on Bummer.

McCann won't be back, especially with Vaughn likely to DH next year. He won't pass up the chance to be the guy somewhere else. Even if the Sox pay up, he wants to start.

Bauer is serious about the 1 year deal thing so throw money at him and go for it.

I don't want to go into game 3 of a playoff series again next year with nothing but hopes and prayers on the mound. Get a competent veteran starter, good enough to push Keuchel down to the #3 spot.

Let the young guys battle for 4-5 and let a diamond form from the pressure.

Cease needs a good kick in the ass in his career anyway.

As much as I like Grandal in the lineup, I'd seriously find a way to trade that contract and pay McCann.

THAT is the guy you want handling your pitching staff and defending home plate.

Despite all the losses and regime changes, Kenny Williams gets to sit there and keep his job until death do he and JR depart

He's pretty powerless in that job at least as evidenced by his favorite snitch getting tossed aside.

Sox fans look like Cub fanboys with the fetishization of McCann. There are other competent defense first catchers out there.

We got the best of his career. He's going to disappoint anyone who gives him a 3+ year contract.

He's competent at the plate. Like a lot of veterans, he's going to mop up the below avg pitchers and get mopped up by the decent pitchers. But he's also streaky. He's going to fall completely off the table for a month, month and a half. IMO, he'd do well to either stay or go to a team with a really good lineup to surround himself with. I admit, I just LOVE him behind the plate. Totally fetishize him there. Giolito too. He barely credits himself. He constantly is sucking off McCann. I mean, what's it worth to keep an ace confident and relaxed?

I don't need my catcher to be the 3-5 hitter in my lineup. I need the catcher to call a good game and elevate the pitching staff to their best levels. Grandal does not do that, but he sure does hit. There's another team out there that could really benefit from Grandal's bat....the sox are in much more need of McCann's catching ability.

The Sox still need a veteran SP. I'm glad Kopech appears to want to play baseball again, but i don't trust him.....you go into 2021 and look at any contributions by Kopech as gravy.

RF is also still a problem. I don't want Mazara or EE anywhere near this team.
