Agree! Why would Sox trade Whitlock if they are currently 1/2 game out of the last wild card. They should be adding a right-handed bat (The one we should have got during last off season).

Only because of a weak AL that the Sox have a chance of still making the playoffs after the disaster of the first two months of the season.

The way it is playing out it looks like a good salary dump. He was eventually going to be a fulltime DH with that contract. But wasn't the money saved supposed to be reinvested in the 2026 team?

I don't think you could have asked for more in Sandoval's first game back. He will be needed with the health issues that the staff currently have!

The Sox have received contender pitching during this recent streak. This without Crochet. A healthy Crochet added to the current staff is as good as pitching in the AL. Strong defense and an average offense and they can be contenders in a VERY WEAK AL. Need to get healthy though! A lot of important pieces are out of action now.

Will be lucky to take 2 out 3 this weekend. Do we even know the plan for Saturday? Tolle on four days rest on Sunday? As well as the Sox are playing this break is coming at a good time! Without Contreras the team will struggle to score runs (Yesterday is a perfect example). Pitching, defense, and average offense has been the key to the recent streak! Need another big game from Gray on Friday. Hold the Mets down and go deep into the game to save the pen for the weekend because they will be needed both days.

Bregman HR-7 RBI-30 AVG-.240 OPS-.681 Durbin HR-7 RBI-36 AVG-.229 OPS-.673 Both have played solid D, but their offensive numbers are pretty even! And Durbin is doing it for a lot less money and is younger. I do think the younger Sox players miss the Bregman voice in the clubhouse. Overall, I still want Durbin to keep this up. Plus, used the saved money for right-handed power bat.

Breslow's failure to bring in right-handed power last winter remains the major problem with this team! They have not taken advantage of quality starting pitched games and lost games that they should have won. They get behind by 3 or more runs the game is over.

Agree! It's over a year now that Campbell was sent down. You look at his numbers and man, they are so not a player ready to get back to the SHOW!

Early got the dreaded, "He shouldn't be out too long"! We heard this about Crochet, about Anthony, and so on and so on!

He has been so up and down that I don't know would the Sox would get for him in a trade!

Durbin's homerun shocked the Schlitt out of him!

Slaton has not looked the same since he returned from his injury. The Sox should have been 5-1 on that last road trip, but the bullpen blew two games against the Rockies!

I think the Yankees D played a big role in the Sox win last night! Contreras shot between the third basemen's legs should have been a double play and no Sox rally. I'll give them credit that they took advantage of that play and put a 4 spot up!

Agree! He has been the most consistent bat over the last few weeks, but I have to see more. Last night's home run to put the Sox ahead would not have happened a month ago.
