  1. Not deemed serious, they still have 4 starters and can get bulk innings out of Bello. Need to figure out who the sacrificial LH Opener should be though. Trade for Bernardino? He still has a MiLB option somehow.
  2. He was also benched for a few days to help clear his mind. I'm sure they've been doing a lot of work with him. Eventually, the balls were just going to fall in. It's not like his hitting the ball in the air now. He went 1 for 5 yesterday and his 3 hardest hits went a combined 165 ft in the air. If you hit a lot of ground balls, you need luck or a lot of skill. Not sure which Durbin has if either. Anyway, I hope he breaks out. Him being a 700 OPS guy makes this team a lot better. He's a legit GG 3b.
  3. The org never communicated well to him. If they truly wanted to move him off 3b permanently, they should have considered where he'd play in the future. If Cora said "throw away your glove, you're DH" it's pretty dumb. Why not have him be the 1B/DH and just have him play 1B like once a week just in case. That should have been the plan all along. It just was handled so poorly by Devers, Cora, Breslow...
  4. They do intentional rest days in MiLB. Haven't heard about him moving to the pen.
  5. It's DSL Opening Day.
  6. Feels like a lost season early on for Romero. Was hoping he'd continue to tick up.
  7. He's not a late inning arm, but bringing in a guy who throws GAS in the 5th/6th inning right after a starter has been taken out has a lot of value to me. I'd rather that than some of the low ceiling soft tossers they've had.
  8. It's backloaded, but it really doesn't affect the CBT too much. It just goes up 830k when recalculated for this season. IDK. I'm sure they'd kick in some $$$ because they are trying to get out from under it, but I don't think the Sox care about what SF paid in cash over the first year.
  9. Devers and Schwarber do not have the same personalities. If Raffy tried to do that, the media would have ripped him.
  10. Yup, ignoring the bullpen was a mistake! A few of us smarter posters were talking about it in the offseason. 🤓
  11. Narvaez used the same company that Durbin did. Most players use multiple avenues to work on their swings, not just the internal coaching. Lots of guys have their own networks they lean on. These guys are rich and spend big $$$ to fix their swings. This isn't little league daddy ball. .
  12. Sox PR spin every injury to make it seem less serious than it could be. When the player ends up being more injured, it makes the player look fragile or weak because they can't make the initial timeline.
  13. BOS 2026 Sogard Era 4th fWAR 1st BABIP 2nd AVG 3rd OBP 7th SLG 4th OPS 7th wRC+ 2nd 1b 5th 2b 1st 3b
  14. Tyron Guerrero: 6.75 ERA 3.15 xERA 2.70 FIP 1.06 xFIP
  15. Cora and Breslow should have handled it like adults too TBH.
  16. Devers said that he didn't want to be thrown into the position right away and look stupid during the regular season. SF eased him into it. Now he's the fulltime 1b.
  17. Yes, but simple reluctance to switch positions wouldn't have caused JH to want him traded directly after the meeting. Something specific must have happened in the meeting.
  18. Lat tightness. Getting a precautionary MRI. Not deemed serious. 😄
  19. They greatly increased his IP last season and just figured it'd be fine. Ridden hard and put away wet.
  20. Casas is still an unknown is is just out. No timetable. No baseball activities. Romy is working his way back. The plan is June barring setbacks. LOL. Sandoval. C'mon man... Crawford has no change in timetable, but is dealing with flexor soreness so who knows. I wouldn't count on him even if he starts pitching in WOO.
