Sometimes it doesn't take much to know a pitcher has it. Yordanny Monegro has it!
FB sitting around 95, up to 97.
CB with massive drop from a 12-6 shape sitting 78-80
Mixes in a change in the upper 80s, even threw a slider.

$100? How long is that supposed to last these days? I spent $150 yesterday only because we're leaving Thursday AM for vacation for 10 days. If I spend under $200, I've forgotten a few things.

Ceddanne Rafaela was informed after yesterday’s game in Double-A Portland that he’s moving up to Triple-A Worcester. Rafaela: “I’m very excited. … It’s one step closer to Boston”

My eye test is telling me that those goal posts just moved pretty substantially from "hasn't been that good" to "wouldn't give a massive long term extension to."
We don't know what the Red Sox' drafting board looked like. Yorke and Romero could have been the best picks available at the time.
Also, there are advantages to going underslot in the first round to spread the money throughout the draft.
I mean, he traded Josh Taylor for Adalberto Mondesi.
Taylor 2023: 17.2 Inn, 8.15 ERA, 409 BABIP, xERA 4.93, career high exit velo, career high barrel rate, 0.0 fWAR
Adalberto: DNR
Seems like a fair trade so far on the floor of both guys.
1. The sight of him turns your stomach? Weird.
2. He wasn't talking "over the crowd" or over anyone asking questions, he was the one being yelled over. Even weirder response.
Giolito:
Hard Hit 36th percentile
xSLG 32nd percentile
Barrel % 27th percentile
Chase Rate 35th percentile
Let's see some loud contact for the offense today!
I will continue to ignore all the blue on Bello's Statcast page too...
They were. moon is an A's fan now. If the A's go 6 out of 8 the rest of the way, they could get to about 84 wins which is close to the playoffs. They aren't out of it!

A Boston Red Sox scout was spotted in the crowd of the Buffaloes-Hawks game.
Unfortunately, Yoshinobu Yamamoto had one of his worst starts of the year (though he still managed to fight through 6 innings).
