  1. I'd smash that Neto trade. I don't think AZ does that Marte trade in season. I like Marte and think he can transition off 1b in two years if he needs to and still be a big time hitter. He's a guy who I think will still hit a bit as he ages. I wouldn't trade Narvaez. He's cheap and has a great glove. Lots of value even at a backup role. Not sure why everyone is down on him this year. Also, Rafaela has been much better than a #9 hitter so far.
  2. I think Ward would be an interesting piece for the right team. Here? I don't know what one more single per game does for this team TBH.
  3. Durbin just doesn't have the ceiling that Mayer does. You can put him on the bench and move him around the IF willy nilly. I'd still send him to AAA to give him a reset and see if he can get some confidence back. It's more important to spend time and really figure out how to fix Mayer or just trade him. I think guys like Seigler/Capra/Gasper/Sogard/Monasterio are all somewhat interchangeable and it doesn't matter who starts. Just go with whoever has the hot hand and it playing better at the time.
  4. Not sure how they are fitting another LHB OFer into the mix.
  5. Mayer, Witherspoon and Bennett? Mayer, Eyanson and Ziehl? Mayer and Duran?
  6. Mayer could have a clear path back later this summer. Just give him June and July in AAA. No harm in it. Durbin and IKF are similar skillsets to me. Once Durbin is on the bench, IKF doesn't have a spot.
  7. For Mayer? I guess since he's on the 40. Seigler can player everywhere.
  8. Duran LF Rafaela CF Abreu RF Sogard 3B Neto SS (Trade Mayer and prospects) Gasper 2B Contreras 1B Narvaez C Anthony DH Bench: Durbin, Monasterio, Wong, Eaton DFA/Trade Story and Masa Trade IKF
  9. Hit lower in the order? Marcelo has hit 7, 8 or 9 in 38 of his 49 games. He's never started a game higher than 6th. Can't get much lower than that! Mayer is really struggling lately. It's time to just get him to AAA and let him get some confidence back. Same with Durbin. Learning on the job clearly isn't working for them. Mayer 459 OPS May Durbin 384 OPS May
  10. It's more important that he learns from the bench!
  11. I don't want to do nothing, I just don't want an Adames that is heading downhill fast. Why exacerbate the problems the 2026 Sox already have (bloated contracts for aging players with bad defense)?
  12. These kids are out there just having fun and that's all that really matters at the end of the day. They're doing their best!
  13. I wasn't making the argument that he'd get into the HOF if he retired after 2010. My "this isn't true" is clearly towards the "everyone on here would've never told you to sign him after 31" comment. I wouldn't take on Adames for half his contract through '31.
  14. You won't get similar production. Sogard has outperformed Mayer as an MLBer from the jump. Mayer is just not ready. He was promoted too early. He is overmatched and regressing. Durbin is one of the worst hitters in MLB. What is he learning from his failure right now???
  15. No, most posters were unhappy about the offseason! Yes, there has been player regression! I haven't seen anyone state that it's unfair to ask why the negotiations fell apart. We already know why: the NTC. Nobody thought this was the second best team in baseball going into the offseason. I don't believe that. Nobody said it was a great offseason. You need to show me some real posts for that not just hyperbole.
  16. 9th fWAR (15th IP) 2nd ERA 1st in LOB% 4th in xFIP If you want to put a lot of blame on the pen, go for it.
  17. Those hitters are better than Mayer and Durbin right now. I'm not hitching my wagon to IKF though. I'd call up Capra or somebody else for the time being.
  18. IKF's OPS was only 569 on 5/23 and 445 on 5/15. It's not like he's been a house on fire. He went 4-8 with a 2b.
