8/7 @ Royals

You are just now figuring that out when you have constantly talked about trading him like they were goin to get something back for him.

 

Duran is definitely tradable. He makes minimum wage and for some teams, that supersedes baseball ability…

I’m not so sure, but we’ll have to wait, and see.

They are exactly as bad as their record says they are.

 

The SOX record says they're mediocre, not bad. But there's still enough games remaining for the SOX to reach 'truly bad' territory.

I think they have underachieved. You telling me they can’t do better than their record? They still have a hiigher team batting average than the Yankees. The starting pitching has been a big disappointment.

There would have to be lightning in a bottle not to.

I'm not expecting anything good for Duran, but certainly some teams would want him as part of a package.

They are exactly as good as their record says they are. As SS pointed out that record says they are mediocre, which in my book is worse that bad or good. Good is fun to watch. Bad and you at least get a top draft pick.

Bad for a team with our budget is a disgrace, as is mediocre

[Oscars]

Somebody remind of the Sox payroll again. I just can't seem to keep it in my head. Is it $10k and a ham sandwich?

 

The 200 million dollar Red Sox lose a series to a bunch of rookies, a new low in a season of unending lows.

Despite production and projections, Baseball Trade Values still gives Jarred Duran ($13.5 million) far more surplus trade value than Seattle outfielder Taylor Trammell ($4.1 million) in a comp of lefthanded 6-foot-2, 212-pound center fielders who may be better suited for a corner.

This year Duran, who is a year older than Trammell, may pass Trammell in MLB service time.

Plawecki should be released so he can get all the rest he needs

 

But moon loves plawecki's cera and told us the sox are better off with him than vaz.....

Plawecki is literally a net negative. He is one of worst position players at any position in baseball.

But moon said he's much better than having vaz behind the dish.

 

I guess we will all just have to wait to see if mcguire can handle the sox staff as well as he handled his staff in Dunedin.....

I'll be glad when Plawecki is gone. I was hoping it would be before the end on 2022.

 

Let's see what McGuire, Wong and RHern can do!

If the Yankees found a taker for Gallo and his salary we can get rid of Duran

All BACKUP catchers. A step backwards from Vaz.
