I think we trade Danish and DFA Diekman

Soxprospects released its mid season rankings. https://www.soxprospects.com/ As expected Mayer jumped Casals for the 1 slot. Bello to 3 as Yorke fell to 4. Walter jumped a bunch of slots to 5. Rafaela jumped to 8. Jeter fell to 21. Groome to 16. Wong jumped up to 18, while Hickey jump all the way up to 19. Kavadas jumped to 29. 6 Mata 7 Bleis 9 Wink 10 Murphy 11 Seabold 12 Paulino 15 Lugo 17 Binelas 27 German 28 Drohan

Do the cash considerations subtract from the lux tax budget? (Not that it would matter)
-
Maybe Frank German will get a look before the trade deadline

I’m fine with Whitlock going back to the pen once Sale returns. I was just addressing concerns about Whitlock’s season IP totals as a reason to move him out of the rotation. As for Hill, I think he’d be a fine long man, and I recall at his signing, some talk about his ability to be a flex guy between the pen and rotation, so I think he’d be fine with the idea. Either way, we’ll get a nice boost to the pen. I also wonder if Wink will be moved to the pen or back to AAA.
-
The blown save in Toronto sucked, and it got pretty scetchy I the 10th, but this pen has come together Nicely over the last few weeks. I think pitchers getting more defined roles, and Houck becoming the closer was the major reason this happened. (Look how quickly it fell apart when Houck was not available.)
-
Whitlock is only going to be in the low 50’s in IP at the 81 game mark of the season. If he starts 16 games and gives us 6 every game- not likely- he’ll end the regular season with about 150 innings. That seems about right, but then the post season. Maybe they keep him starting but try to limit him to 5 IP per starts and move Hill to the pen.
-
I agree, and I’ve said all along that this must be about the prospects and Bloom’s view that they will be better than most rankings have them placed. Even if JBJ bounced back to.700, the money part would still make the deal a real head-scratcher. It’s Binelas and Hamilton, because it ain’t gonna be JBJ. -
Maybe, but if they think he’s worth $8M, this year and they still play him FT, I’m not so sure.
-
They were able to trade the major portion of the deal. That’s on the Sox.
-
To me, the worst part of the trade and contract is yet to come: the $8M buyout for 2023!!! $12M salary for 2023. Ouch!!! The $4M differential might mean he’s back, next year.
-
If a king had boobs… Oh wait…
-
I’m not expecting a hit from JBJ- just rooting for him to get one.
-
I’m upset we traded for him and are paying the larger part of his contract that was back end loaded. I root for all the Sox players, tough. Some more than others.
-
Don’t you root for all Sox players to do well?
-
I still root hard for JBJ and have hopes he can end up around.700, but I doubt he does.
-
Well, vaccines don’t prove you don’t have it either.

My scalp has scabs from all the head-scratching. -
Proof of recent negative tests are enough for many other venues and were for public travel. I would not be surprised to see the rule changed, soon. Canada is not the only country with rules like this. Some are more strict.
-
One must be RH’d and should be the better of two, or 2 righties makes the most sense. If we get someone who can play a decent RF and1B, that might be a great solution to 2 areas that are suspect, to say the least.

Agreed on all. He's been an overall disappointment with his high RBI count being his saving grace. I don't mention his great defense and decent baserunning, because that was expected. We still have more than half a season to go. I expect his OPS to improve. We hear a lot about that "big week" carrying his numbers, and there is some truth to that, and he's not done better since then than he was doing before that week, but I'm still optimistic he comes around. .613 first 140 PAs (to May 18) 16 RBI 1.463 middle 33 PAs (5/19-5/26) 21 RBI .617 last 120 PAs (May 27>) 14 RBI -
And misguided. I was firmly against the JBJ trade and do not think he should be playing, except as a late inning defensive replacement at worst and a platoon at best. Had the troll known how to read, he'd have known that.
-
I guess his 2 years in a row hitting over .800 was not enough, bec ause his BA was only .262. Forget the GG caliber D. Forget the .345 OBP those 2 years. Forget the 36 HRs and 130 RBI (26 HRs and 95 RBI per 650) His OPS+ was 118, but we don't need metrics to know the guy was a good hitter back then.
-
My guess is we trade for 3 pieces: RP RP CF/RF/1B Kinda like last year, but Schwarber was LF/1B.
