One batter too late....Pom sucks
-
Pomeranz should have been taken out already
-
Pom should be on a very short string....one baserunner
-
Time to give Velasquez Pomeranz's job. PomPom sucks.
-
This years its true.....he has done little to engender likeability.
-
Pomeranz is not much of a pitcher......
-
The amazing Mookie Betts....
-
Bradley being Bradley again....tough pitch though. Celtics down 11 at the half...they have them just where they want them.
-
Almost Celtics time....what a gritty team they have been this year. Anything they do from here on in is gravy...but they are great to watch.
-
He has given up one ground ball hit...nothing hit solidly against him...and he just struck out Betts and Beni. He looks good enough to beat this team to me.
-
Bradley already had his monthly hit
-
Behind again.....catchup baseball is losing baseball
-
Devers' swinging at balls a foot outside the K zone is getting really old
-
Crappy home plating umpiring again.
-
It was timed so that another player would not have to be released or demoted AND it solved the Hanley problem. The timing was a necessity.
-
LOL.....the truth is that I was kidding when I wrote it. Now that its happened I do see the logic behind it and I support the decision totally.
-
Cora suggested the move to DD because, in part, he didn't think Hanley would take well to sitting on the bench.
-
Actually Kimmi, I saw it. See last night's game thread, page 5 at the top. Someone asked who is getting moved when Pedey is activated and my response was one word: Hanley.
-
They had to get rid of someone, and in terms of value, Ramirez was the logical choice. Sure Swihart isn't hitting as well as Hanley, but he is being paid a fraction of Hanley's salary. So someone had to go...thats why I called this move during last night's game thread, page 5. It was too logical not to see. Moreland isn't going to keep up the pace he is hitting at now, but he is MUCH better defensively, and won't sink to Bradley-esk numbers either. Furthermore, now Swihart will get a chance to show what he has more often, if anything.
-
I suspect we have. Hanley isn't going to get 497 PAs with the Sox this season. End of discussion.
-
Exactly. The Sox will be on the hook for the remainder of his 2018 salary less the prorated portion of the MLB minimum salary. In 2019 he can see what he can do about finding another $22M contract. Its hard not to feel sorry for the guy; I mean, how could he possibly survive on a measly $22M this year?
-
Once he is released he is free to sign a totally new contract with another team. The current Sox contract option is null and void since he will not be getting the necessary PAs with the team.

Read this: "As with any player who has been designated for assignment, the Red Sox will have a week to trade Ramirez, place him on outright waivers or release him. Given the remaining $15.17MM on this year’s $22MM salary and that easily attainable vesting option, it’s all but certain that Ramirez will be released rather than sent elsewhere. At that point, he’d be free to sign a new contract with a new club that would only owe him the pro-rated league minimum and wouldn’t need to worry about the vesting provision in his prior agreement in Boston."

Incorrect.

By the way, I am not going to tell you guys that I saw this coming, but I did. I called it on yesterday's game thread: https://www.talksox.com/forum/threads/18665-5-24-Red-Sox-at-Rays/page5
