Devers is plugged into the 5th hole tonight. Do you think that is a long term answer for him? Is he a longer term cleanup guy?
What about hitting 2nd for now? He'd look real good after Betts.
Either way, it seems like a weird thing to float out there. I'm pretty sure every ownership in MLB has ongoing conversations with their GM's. I think the story was put out there to add on to the DD will trade away the entire farm system narrative.
I'm not a big McAdam fan. He's a fine beat writer, but I don't think he ever has any amazing insight are unique stories to provide.
Not sure that's a slate of writers that I'd pay for.
As for that story, I'm sure DD takes a lot of his mandates from ownership (signing Fielder, signing Price, trading for Sale, etc.). Not sure that's a bad thing.
Well, Eck has openly admitted it. I see it more of a strength that he's able to know his limitations and puts his family over his career. Eck standing up and saying that seems pretty admirable to me.

Brian Johnson (left shoulder inflammation) out early throwing in the bullpen. #PawSox manager Kevin Boles said Johnson could start Saturday.
Johnson could take over for Fister, but Fister will get at least one more look after his last performance.
