Max, you call tge Sale extension stupid, when that was when he was much younger. After he proved how stupid the signing was over the first 4 of the 5 year deal, you called it stupid to trade him. Am I missing something.
-
Yes, but Sale was not considered injury prone. He was a horse until 2018. Nate had a long history of injuries before we traded for him. He then missed significant time after his extension. Both ended up not being great signings, but at the time, we could not afford to lose pitchers.
-
I pretty much said Mayer at SS and Story at 2B to maybe lessen his injury risk. Nowhere did I even hint at Grissom over Story or Mayer at 2B. My point was about Story being the better defensive SS when healthy. I’m all for giving Mayer a shot over Grissom in 2025. He does have to prove the job is his the same as Grissom proved it was not his (yet.)

Sale had a durable history when signed. Nate did not.

Trade for pitching, not Vladdy.

Maybe if our GMs got a few of their biggest signings right, JH might be more likely to say yes. I’m not defending JH, here. His budget cuts have been horrible to the team and fans, but… Gio Kluber Richards Kike II Barnes Sale Price HRam Pablito Crawford Help me out here, are the only 2 good contracts over $10M since Crawford, JD and Bogey? The okay ones were maybe Eovaldi, Turner and TBD Devers, right?
-
I totally agree. JH has made the GM job very difficult, right after the Sale & Bogey extensions under DD, basically 2019 to today with no end in sight.
-
He has to reassure himself. His insecurities bleed out from his posts.
-
Brez is not the one who decides on adding $30M+ to the budget. He’d have to get TOR to take Yoshida or Story for the money to be acceptable to JH.
-
If Story gets healthy, he has got to be our best defensive SS. I suppose moving him to2B, where he is also excellent is not a bad idea, if Mayer proves he’s a ML SS. Maybe 2B lessens the risk of injury, slightly- at least to his throwing arm/shoulder. Mayer has to win the job, first.

Facts are facts: Sale in playoffs with Sox: 34 IP 24 ER (6.35 ERA) 1.44 WHIP
-
Indisputable fact: Game 1 WS for Sale 4 IP 5 Hits 3 ER 2 BB and 7 Ks I’m not dissing Sale over one game: just going tit for tat with the class clown.
-
Tough box score to wake up to in Bilbao , Spain. Gotta get em, today.
-
Pitchers can pitch to RHBs to make it difficult to pull the ball, and many RHBs are not great at going to RF, especially with power.
-
Why is Yorke better than Valdez? They both suck on D, and Valdez was hitting over.970 for a pretty long stretch.
-
They all cost too much for JH to accept, and only Berrios is under control beyond 2025. Throw in Yoshida and maybe…
-
big game for Crawford and the Sox, today.
-
The Sox have lost only one series out of the last 12 (SDP 2-1.) We’ve tied a few, but just one lost series dating back to the end of May is pretty damn good.
-
I think we see Valdez again.
-
I doubt we do anything major with everyday players, unless we lose faith in a Casas or Grissom return. I do think we may do a mid level deal for a RHd 2Bman, SS or 1Bman. Any major or near major deal should be for a SPer. While the D at 2B/SS has been and still is bad, our O has been decent since about June1st for Raphael’s, Romy. Valdez and DHam. I think a Rez rolls the current dice at 2B. Maybe he trades a LHd OFer for a RHd OF or middle IFer. We need pitching first.
-
The injury bug has really hit the Sox, this year. Lots of short term injuries, but also… Story Giolito Whitlock Casas Hendriks (known injury when signed) Murphy & Walter Martin & Mata Grissom
-
I kinda hope the Yanks trade away as much of their future for another failed ring run.
-
That was the question I was asking you, earlier. Moving Rafaela to FT CF means benching a damn good hitter. Ideally, we get a solid SP and a RHd 2Bman who can hit and play D. The problem is, I have yet to hear a name that grabs my attention and is available. Not sure who might be trades, but these are the highest fWAR 2Bmen on possible non contenders: India Semien Hoerner L Garcia
