If anything...

I let it slide the first time, but buddy I've never danced in the streets and would not do so for a baseball trade.

09/01 SOX @ Rays 7:10PM

Sale on. Sale on. Sale on. Sale on. -
Well, the minority were right. It was that he isn't that good. I can check the box scores to see that.
-
From your keyboard to god's eyes.

The Sox haven't swept SEA in SEA since 1993 so the Mariners MUST be a better team! Or is it something else entirely?
-
That's honestly what has broken me this year. They have just played so miserably. That 3rd inning last night was something to behold.
-
I hope he can suck for them next year too.
-
There weren't too many Kimbrel believers on here. We already lived through him as a closer and him not closing out the 18 WS.
-
It hasn't happened yet though and there's no guarantee we get there.
-
Don't pick up Vaz, but sign Yan Gomes? I would imagine the Rays would pick up Zunino's option, but maybe Bloom would try to pry him away? Martin Maldonado can't hit, but you could probably get him for cheap. Go with Manny Pina and save lots of $$$?
-
His offense fell off enough this year that he's probably not worth $7M to anyone. This has also been his worst defensive year by far. Sometimes the clock ticks a little more quickly for catchers. He's not playing like a 30 year old. He's playing like a 35 year old.

Should the Sox?
-
If we could only trade our farm system for theirs!
-
Downs got attention because he was the high profile prospect brought back in the Mookie trade. There's no other reason for it.
-
I've heard that one before.
-
Yes, not much benefit in tanking now. Would create more ill will than anything else.
-
I would say adding 2 reliable relievers (not a closer like Kimbrel) would have made a difference. 3 wins? 4 wins?
-
Giolito per BTV.
-
I just proposed it to SEA and they accepted. Sorry.
-
I wouldn't say clown show. I think bringing Seabold up would be a good idea. I think bringing Ort up would be a good idea. I think bringing up Feltman would be a good idea. Add in some young guys and at least the fans won't entirely tune out. Give Duran the full time CF role from here on out. Verdugo looks like ass out there anyway.

The problem is that when posters stan so hard for a GM, you can't have a reasonable conversation about it. It's just "well, Bloom made the right call at the time. How would he know the team would stink? There's nothing he could have done." It's the trust Bloom, trust Cora mantra. This team was in first place at the deadline. One month later, they are in a tail spin and potentially not even in position to get to the WC. (I'm sure if they fail to get there, some posters will just say "oh it was due to COVID and nobody could have seen that" rather than even provide a modicum of blame for ownership/FO/coaching.) They stood pat. It didn't work. The pieces are not fitting right now. Is that Bloom's fault? Is that Cora's fault for poor coaching? Could Cora have been a better leader and gotten that vax % up over 85? At some point, when the venture you are running fails, it's on the people at the top.
-
I thought they were shopping Vaz last offseason and got no takers? I think they just need to work on finding a suitable long term replacement. Have Vaz not catch 80% of the games. Maybe if he goes down to 50%, his defense will be less sloppy?
-
Awful long way of just saying "trade Xander."
