trade deadline

[Nick]

His WHIP would be 2nd best in this rotation.

 

Just goes to show you how bad we are....

[d-money]

Trades get announced over the next few hours.

 

True but we would have heard it already. Bloom is banking on these guys to pitch better .

[notin]

Heaney to the Yankees

[vegasbob]

From getting all the Angels coverage in SoCal, I can vouch that Andrew Heaney is not the answer to anyone's pitching problems. He could compete with Perez, and Richards but that is not saying much.

[Nick]

Odds say, we ain't getting an arm, so it could mean they will put all the money on Sale and Houck.

 

One is hurt and other is sent down so he can start in 10 days. Why not use Houck in relief between his starts?

[Nick]

Yankees, Blue Jays and Rays improved their bats against our woeful starting pitching.

 

No one is talking about the thrashing we got from the Jays last night.

[Nick]

If we are shooting for 2022, WE SHOULD BE STRETCHING OUT WHITLOCK.

 

LET HIM BE AN OPENER, AND SEE HOW LONG HE CAN LAST.

[Nick]

I do like Schwarber singing.

[d-money]

Well 4 pm! Damn. I have to watch more nibbling and Richards getting bombed.

Why would we? It was one s***** game.

[MADSTORK]

Boston Rays!

Orlando Bloom on fire today boys.

 

4 6 vs Astro's Whitesox and you Pink Hats do nothing. Amazing!

 

2017 all over again. Win 90 games and get bounced first round if you win the division

 

What cracks me up is, Dombrowski comes in builds a Championship Team and all I hear is He emptied out the Farm. By the way, which Hall of fame prospect did DD trade away?

[Nick]

Better get used to it.

[Hugh2]

I know trades are announced after 4 so maybe more is coming but I’m going to be pissed if all we got was Kyle Schwarber?!?!?!?

 

Bloom has been pretty great up until now if that’s the fact.

 

This team is a World Series contender, everyone else just got better than they did. Why even make one trade if you’re not going to plug up the REAL holes????

@ChrisCotillo

4:00 is here. Deals can still leak out. Awaiting word from Red Sox...

Most of our top 20 prospects are his guys.....

[Bellhorn04]

Better get used to it.

 

Don't go to the dark side, man.

[mvp 78]

@JMastrodonato

Barring any at-the-buzzer moves, the Red Sox are the only American League contender not to make multiple additions at the MLB trade deadline.

 

By my count:

Yankees: 3

Rays: 3

Jays: 2

White Sox: 3

Astros: 3

A's: 4

He traded away a box of your dad's condoms. Now we're stuck with you.

[Noles_1335]

Good job Bloom…. Way to make fans want to ring your neck!!!

[mvp 78]

@PeteAbe

Anderson Espinoza, the erstwhile Red Sox prospect, was traded to the Cubs for Jake Marisnick.

 

Espinoza never pitched for the Padres after being acquired for Drew Pomeranz. Had TJ twice.

[mvp 78]

They're in first place.

[moonslav59]

I'm a bit surprised, but our chances in 2022 and beyond remain intact.

[iortiz]

One is hurt and other is sent down so he can start in 10 days. Why not use Houck in relief between his starts?

 

It’s beyond me and I don’t understand it.

[mvp 78]

Hansel Robels

[d-money]

They're in first place.

 

Yes they’re but the starting pitching has not been good lately unless your name is Nate Eovaldi. Bloom is really taking a gamble. He needs to hope it pans out.

[d-money]

I'm a bit surprised, but our chances in 2022 and beyond remain intact.

 

Nothing is guaranteed in 2022. You can’t play that game you know. Bloom is gonna get destroyed if our pitching staff falls apart after Sale and Eovaldi. I like Houck. He needs to start.

[moonslav59]

Sox make blockbuster trade!

A disappointing day.

Robles is a bum. We have way better arms in the pen.

I can and will play that game.

 

Our chances always looked better in 2022 and 2023 than 2021, to me, even when we had the best record in the AL.

 

I'm going off some assumptions that may be wrong, like we will spend much more, next year, and Bloom will sign 2-4 meaningful FAs and maybe make a couple big trades.

 

One reason I was not for going all in this year was that I knew other teams were going to go all out, too, so improving some might have just barely kept us even with our original odds of winning a ring.

 

This was not the time to try and go bigger than what LA, SD and others did. It just wasn't.
