Not quite the same thing. Eovaldi is having one of his starts completely skipped.
-
You left out Jim Ed.
-
OK, you're just talking about the 2022 example.
-
Hopefully the kind I like.
-
And the scouts.
-
I took my medicine on that one a while ago.
-
Does the name Kyle Schwarber ring a bell, Chaim? Loosen up, man!
-
He is strokin' it.
-
Guess I need a juju refresher.
-
Or is it bad juju to predict he'll stay healthy all year?
-
So you're saying that if we trade a player and fans complain about it, but the guy absolutely sucks for his new team, fans will keep complaining just as much? Maybe I'm misinterpreting what you're saying, I don't know.
-
Really? To me that was just a random blip and they've bounced back from it just the way you'd like to see.
-
They're playing extremely well right now, that's all I can say, really. I have no idea if it will continue. It's baseball.
-
I disagree. Fans are much more upset about not bringing back Eovaldi than they are about not bringing back Rich Hill. If Eovaldi was injured and Hill was pitching great that would flip. Fans are generally results-oriented.
-
C'mon man, I'm giving you a chance to cement your credibility once and for all with a real time test. Are you passing?
-
Sorry, it just sounded like the payday you spoke of was imminent.
-
Let's put you on the spot then: How many more starts will Eovaldi and Paxton each make this season? You have to provide one number for each, no combining. Make your call and have it recorded for posterity!
-
Murphy is our property for years, no?
-
What some folks forget is that we also got James Loney and Jerry Sands in that trade!
-
Modern baseball management results in some very strange decisions. People complain about Cora resting guys, but the Rangers just made the remarkable decision to skip Eovaldi's latest start to give him extra rest, and of all games to do it, they chose the first game of a series with the Astros, their main division rival. And they lost the game 10-9. Sox fans would never forgive Cora for that kind of decision.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if he does well for the Dodgers. But this was a solid move by Bloom.
-
The team has been playing great since the last Jays series, in spite of a crippled rotation. I think maybe Cora deserves a little credit for that. But I'm a Cora fanboy, as I've said.
-
I meant the only way we trade Verdugo at this year's deadline. I could see him being traded in the offseason.
-
Personally I don't think it's an apples to apples comparison. The anger about the Vaz trade was pretty mild, really, and some of it was about "the way it was done". Trading Paxton when we're in the hunt would provoke full-on outrage.
-
The only way Dugo gets traded is if we nosedive. We don't have a logjam. Cora has done this a couple of times: Casas 1B Turner 2B Devers 3B Duvall LF Duran CF Verdugo RF Yoshida DH We've also seen Duvall in CF and Duran in LF. And of course we've seen Refsnyder start against lefties instead of Duran. The bottom line is, it's not a strict platoon, it's totally flexible.
