    Find something you love as much as Trevor loved hitting at Coors. '18 1043/780 Home/Road OPS '19 1064/764 Home/Road OPS

    He didn't have much of a choice when you look at the '23 roster TBH.
  4. mvp 78
    I think he waited a long time due to a lack of options early on more than anything else: Pablo Reyes Christian Arroyo Yu Chang Bobby Dalbec Not exactly good fallback options!

    If Cora didn't see a problem with Casas's defense after 2023, I have even bigger concerns with him.
  6. mvp 78
    I think someone on here is going to get very mad again this fall.
  7. mvp 78
    At least Kyle Harrison's injury wasn't that severe!

    Trading Roman would be the craziest move the Sox have done in 100 years. Would be even more unpopular than letting Mookie go. I'm not advocating for it either. I'd rather they keep Rafaela in CF, but it seems they are as unable to move Duran as they are Masa. At some point, they need to find ways to fit these guys onto the roster. Duran's defense has played up in CF in the past, maybe it can do the same in '26? They do lose a ton of Rafaela's value the second he moves off of CF. That's the problem with how this roster has been constructed.

    Abreu should have had 20 errors, but the scorer was being nice since Abreu was dealing with newborn twins at home.

    I'm not lamenting the loss, just stating that they had high level depth and used it in trades recently.
  11. mvp 78
    At least get our writers' names correct. If the only thing you are going to use is fielding percentage, you are shooting yourself in the foot. Story has been DREADFUL since the beginning of September and it's not getting better. Every defensive metric, including fielding percentage, has Story as WORSE than Mayer right now. Story used to be better, but he has aged off the position. It's what happens to guys in their 30's.

    And one played for the wretched 2002 Sox team (the catcher).

    HIs arm issues were known at the time of the FA signing. It wasn't a surprise when he finally missed '23.
  15. mvp 78
    That's less unpopular than trading an OFer that can no longer throw (Roman) in a package for an IFer with power. The other more tradable OF asset would be Rafaela, which would move Duran to CF. I've heard that his name comes up a bunch in trade requests and the Sox could probably get two quality arms for him. Maybe giving up on Story playing defense just pushes Rafaela back to 2b for the remainder of the year. I think they deal Masa at the deadline and eat a certain amount of '27 $'s. They are holding onto him for injury insurance for the short term.
  16. mvp 78
    And IF Story is really the team leader people say he is, he should be MORE willing to accept a move to a new position. Maybe he is willing and Cora just doesn't see a problem yet? Seems obvious to most everyone else. Even if you have to platoon Mayer here and there, I think you can run out IKF or Monasterio once in a while at SS and it'd be fine enough.
  17. mvp 78
    The ones that don't are only listening in on radio and have missed several important innings.
  18. mvp 78
    He reached towards his back when it happened I guess. That may have been to just stretch out his arm.
  19. mvp 78
    Fans do expect too much from this ownership (who have never done anything wrong). 😍
  20. mvp 78
    It's not highly likely for sure, that's why I said "maybe."
  21. mvp 78
    Brown must have given really bad postgame interviews or something.
  22. mvp 78
    I've made the point before that MAYBE they are holding the door for the hand off to be Story to Arias, but they've already moved Mayer around a bunch. I don't think there's an issue moving Mayer to SS short term and then moving him to 2b or 3b down the road (at least to me).
  23. mvp 78
    Has a Clash song named after him too.
  24. mvp 78
    He has the same WAR/162 as Lance Lynn and Gio Gonzalez.
  25. mvp 78
    They view him as a guy they really would not like to trade. Also, they are comfortable with him paying 2b, SS, 3b. We definitely know that. If there's a preference going forward to one over the other? Don't know.
