Now they need two more starters...Giolito, Lynn, and Cease aren't enough....Kopech is an unknown as a starter, Keuchel can't be counted on as a reliable fifth starter for a team with WS aspirations.

They really could not count on Rodon. His durability is always a question.

I think he'll be OK after a full season where it looks like the lack of playing full seasons caught up to him at the end...that said, at the price, I think I'm comfortable letting him move on. Still leaves the Sox in a position to need two starters.

It’s time to take the bubble wrap off Kopech. I can live with Dallas or Lopez as the 5th guy.

I want a real bat for right field like Castellanos.

I think Castellanos would fit better as a DH right now. Would love to see just bat on the Sox, though. I agree about Kopech, I think he breaks out this year. I don't really trust Cease, but he might be a #4 and you can live with that.

They should have gotten ahead of this with 2 or 3 years before last season...but yeah with his injuries it didn't align. Keuchel fell off unexpectedly, and Kopech held himself out and set himself back.

Good work on the bullpen though, not to repeat 2020.
This team is in really good shape with assets, cap, young players and the farm.

Now we just have to fill the stands!!!

I think this is South Chicago's last chance to keep them....as I view this spending spree that started because of "the window," got doubled down on because the Cubs are going to suck for a while.
