I wonder why his deal hasn't been made official yet. It's been nine days since the rumors that they struck a deal. It's not like there's no room on the 40 man.
Probably a delay of the physical, because of Covid/immigration issues.

Just checking in now that the market seems to have thawed some. Using Kiley McDaniel's list ( www.espn.com/mlb/freeagents/_/type/ranked ) (and feel free to double-check me) 5 of top 10 (includes Stroman and Gausman, who never really hit the market) 10 of top 20 (I'm including Sugano as "signed") 11 of top 30 14 of top 40 20 of top 50 So the thaw has mostly been at the top of the market, but it's still slow in that 20-50 tier, which is where they were likely to do most of their work anyway. He missed some signings too: 8 on the entire list, 4 in the top 50 (Schwarber, Grossman, Yates and Chatwood)

Any feel yet for where the Sox are against their international cap for this year? It's probably unlikely, but wondering if they could go after Oscar Colás? He is rumored to wait for next signing period when the pools reset. With the White Sox projected to be heavily involved.

The Boston Red Sox are not expected to give Japanese starting pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano the contract he wants, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Tuesday.
Sugano, who is expected to make his decision this week, could return to pitch in Japan for one more year, Passan wrote.
Passan reported, “The New York Mets are out. Other teams to whom he has been linked, like the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox, are not expected to pay Sugano what he desires.”

MLB is reporting that Grullon is back with the Sox after having been waived by the Reds. Dude is a hot potato. I don't see it anywhere else and it also doesn't make sense. They would need a 40 man move for that.

If he goes for less than 4@60 I will be bummed we didn't take a chance on him. Ha, he'll go for a lot less than that. Maybe you're confusing him Sugano. Arihara maybe has 4/5 starter UPSIDE, but his outcome variance is pretty high.

Another back up OF option. Not sure I'd consider him starting OF material.

Not professing to know all regarding Rosario's defense, but from reading on various Tins' fan posts, it seems He doesn't really think much while playing in the OF, or forgets what he is doing out there sometimes. Remember Manny Ramirez came to mind after reading a couple. One in particular was while he has a decent arm, he often throws to the wrong base, or misses the cutoff man. While JD Drew was maligned in Boston for his 5y, I really don't remember his glove, nor arm being all that bad. Granted, he wasn't any Dwight Evans, nor Mookie Betts out there, but who was? JD Drew revived a lot of hate from the Boston media during his time as a Red Sox, almost all of which was unwarranted, which I think skews the perceptions of many. He was a good to very good defender in right field with strong range, a solid arm and consistently marking all of the routine plays. DRS doesn't think as much of him as UZR, but neither give hints that he was anything but a positive defensively. Here's a piece from Boston.com attempting to name the best Red Sox defenders at each position. They include Drew in the conversation as 'methodically excellent'. www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2020/02/20/glove-story-the-best-defensive-players-in-red-sox-history/ampDrew wasn't Betts or Evans, but he war closer to those guys than he war to Rosario. As I remember it the hatred (for lack of a better word) mostly came from fans and not from the media.
