    lol!

    So we basically swapped Sale for Giolito and Grissham, this week.
    When you say it's gonna happen now
    When exactly do you mean?

    Best wishes in Atlanta to Chris Sale. He had a possible Hall of Fame career derailed by a series of injuries. Only Rafael Devers remains from that championship season.
    Old school is good school.

    With the Red Sox sending $17 million to the Braves, for the next six seasons the Sox effectively will be paying nearly $3 million annually over Grissom's actual salary ... if Grissom sticks in the majors.

    I’d prefer Sale at $3M.

    This move can't be valued individually, but in a vacuum. Must be the precursor to other moves.

    Look at it anyway anybody wants, but for this year the Red Sox are on the hoof for $17M.

    Young Grissom -- good bat, bad glove -- sounds an awful lot like E.Valdez... in other words, maybe not the answer to shore up the infield D (especially since rumor has it he was playing outfield in the winter league). But he has potential and is under control for many years at big league minimum...

    Sox paying Braves to take Sale shows how much Brez really wanted to move on from the Deadwood Forest.

    I am hoping we include Grissom in a trade for a decent pitcher!

    We can never have enough reclamation jobs for you?
    Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1

    The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.

    Well he’s young with 4 more years control, but I don’t think Yorke would do it.

    Did Chris Sale face a difficult decision to waive his no-trade rights to land in Atlanta?
