No prospect questions this time!

1. Ryan Watson seems like a very low ceiling guy who may never be more than a 5th/6th inning arm. The Sox are clearly just keeping him at this point for the years of control and MiLB options after this season. Maybe even less value than a guy like Zack Kelly. Has the Watson experience been worth it overall to you?

2. There have been a crazy amount of injury issues with this team in 2026. Is this specific to the Sox or is it a league wide trend? If it’s Sox specific, what could be the cause?

3. Is Chad Tracey earning the removal of the interim tag at all?

4. Thoughts on Bello’s WOO starts and timing of a return to Boston? (He’s not a prospect.)
