I honestly can't follow the Sox reclamation project logic. I mean, I'm happy Giolito is looking good, but $19M for him and $21M on Buehler... $40M/year is enough to afford any pitcher in the league not named Ohtani. Why on Earth do you commit that kind of money where the best likely outcome is that one of the two becomes maybe... a #2 or #3 starter? They wouldn't be 100x better off nabbing Burnes or Wheeler even if they had to offer $45M/year?

So now we spent $40M this year, and because Giolito looks good we need to pay him $19M next year to be maybe our #4 starter?

Imagine if we had Wheeler instead and it was Crochet / Wheeler / Bello / Tolle...

Dunno if Burnes and Wheeler are the best examples.  Burnes had Tommy John surgery in June and Wheeler is out 6-8 months with blood clots.

IMO it's all about length of contract with older pitchers. By the time these guys get to free agency they're often close to 30 years old abd are due to break down.=

Thoughts on Max Fried and his deal?
