    Did Chapman accidentally ignore Breslow on group text once? If so, he may be out of a job tomorrow.

    Who? You are going to spend MORE assets to get that closer at the deadline than to just acquire them in the offseason. This is an unreasonable strategy. Rearranging deck chairs to spend more assets to potentially put a worse product on the field. Just run it out with Chapman. Sign a FA closer. Trade for another late inning reliever that you can develop into the future closer.

    This doesn't sound right at all! 🤔

    What about Vaughn Grissom screams MLBer to you? His defense? His power profile? His athletic ability?
  5. mvp 78
    If it's confusing, it's because the front office isn't just scouting the box scores and actually sees the player day in day out. If they liked Grissom at all, we would have seen him in BOS by now (and not just the 465 OPS he provided last year). They've tried him out at 3b, 1b to see if there's any value there. It's his third season at AAA. There is no meat left on that bone.

    Unless there is an influx of fastballs under 92 mph coming to MLB that we don't know about...
  7. mvp 78
    Yes, this is what they've said over and over on the SoxProspects podcast and they have access to metrics and pitching/hitting data that we don't. If they could trade Grissom, they would. Most likely, he's moved before the Rule 5 date.

    Helps when trade targets get injured or popped for betting scandals.
  9. mvp 78
    The last thing I saw (McAdam?) was that the Sox are lowering their expectations to 5th starter.
  10. mvp 78
    Cool. I'm glad that you'll be posting about this for the remainder of his contract for ungodly some reason.
  11. mvp 78
    Can't believe Raffy's 101 wRC+ could do this. Must be the loss of Jordan Hicks!
  12. mvp 78
    I'm sure they would have taken Allan Castro, Blaze Jordan and Conrad Cason instead! 🤪
  13. mvp 78
    "We're going to be buyers and win more games without Devers." I'm not sure where in that calculation allows for a trade of Chapman. You'd have to then trade for someone else's closer and it seems like a lot of work to just make your pen worse and swap prospects.

    I like Mayer. I'm more concerned about the lingering issues with his wrist since he's missed significant time each season he's played.
  15. mvp 78
    Grissom can't hit quality pitching. Right now, he's feasting on lesser AAA arms and not hitting better AAA arms.
  16. mvp 78
    To me, IF they miss the playoffs this season, they better make the playoffs in '26 or Breslow should be canned. There are 6 teams that get in from the AL. No excuse to miss anymore, except mismanagement.
  17. mvp 78
    I agree and have said as much elsewhere. The Sox could be mediocre down the stretch and still back into the playoffs because of the Yankees (no Judge?), Mariners (bad peripherals, sorry moon) and Rays (lots of away games because of FL rainy season schedule) just not playing all that well.
  18. mvp 78
    I'd trade Buehler and Fitts for Leiter and Rocker. Give me that upside down the stretch. I'm completely OUT on Buehler and Fitts is being pulled after 4 innings.

    New SP rankings: Graduated #1 Roman Anthony #2 Marcelo Mayer Debuts Kyson Witherspoon at 4 Marcus Phillips at 15 Anthony Eyanson at 16 Henry Godbout at 25 Mason White at 40 Christian Foutch at 47 Barrett Morgan at 51 Myles Patton at 55 Notable Risers (note graduations) Payton Tolle from 3 to 1 Yhoiker Fajardo from 22 to 19 Yophery Rodriguez from 42 to 37 Austin Ehrlicher from unranked to 57 Notable Fallers James Tibbs from 7 to 10 Marvin Alcantara from 40 to 49 Antonio Anderson from 46 to unranked Dalton Rodgers from 52 to unranked Justin Riemer from 54 to unranked Grades Payton Tolle floor from 4.5 to 5 James Tibbs floor from 4 to 3

    We saw this team collapse in '22, '23 and '24. We'll have to see what happens this year. Maybe having a strong voice like Breggie helps prevent it.
  21. mvp 78
    I assumed that there'd be an adjustment with the big three the first year after being called up and that they'd be better in '26. It also was a weird lineup going into '25 as it seems like some of the parts (namely OF/DH) didn't quite work. There better be a more thoughtful plan for next season. I think there's still the potential for them to half ass this deadline the way they did the previous few seasons rather than go all out. Selling on Devers for assets that won't help much this season confirmed some of my skepticism.
  22. mvp 78
    A small upgrade above Toro shouldn't be cost prohibitive.
  23. mvp 78
    Now it's OR 2028? Oh brother... I thought it was going to be rough thinking '25 was the last punt year.
  24. mvp 78
    Fitts was pulled because the top of the order was coming up (11.25 ERA third time through) and Keirsey had already hit a HR off Fitts the previous AB.
  25. mvp 78
    I know it's the same thing. ✌️
