    Yup. The situation was similar to Bloom's, except Bloom didn't make 3 great moves like these in his whole time with the Sox! LOL
  2. moonslav59
    It's $40M
  3. moonslav59
    PLUS BENNETT!!! It might be the 3-4 best off seeason adds in a single season in Sox history. Note: we are just halfway through the season, so this could change. Add Durbin, Coulombe, Guerrero, Seigler, Monasterio & IKF. What have we heard a lot of? Harrison, Drohan, DHam and Jordan.
  4. moonslav59
    I mentioned this before. Also, Coulombe has done pretty well, too! After last night's Chapman performance, Coulombe now has the best OPS Against on the staff! 50+ PAs Against .580 Coulombe .581 Chapman .586 Tolle (hard to do as a starter) .605 Moran (done with rehab) .606 Bennett (second rookie leading the rotation) .607 Suarez (great signing by Brez) .614 Kelly (in AAA) .620 Whitlock (not a typo) .639 Guerrero (another hidden gem addition) .663 Gray (great trade, and got STL to pay $20M1) ____________________ .713 Samaniego (another Brez add) .725 Weissert (meh) .726 Early (3rd rookie in rotation) .764 Watson (double meh) __________________ .818 Crochet .852 Bello .871 Slaten Whodathunk these 3 would be the bottom-dwellers?

    Agreed. All they look at is 3 months of Gray's value minus his salary vs 5-6 years of the average value of a B Comp Pick.

    Maybe Fenway is not such a bad place for the Sox ro play, anymore. Let's hope so: we play 3 more vs the Nats, starting tomorrow. (Afternoon game on WED for a getaway to LAA for Friday's start to a 3 game series.) Then, after a day off to CWS for 3 (time to pass those pretenders) and to play 3 at the Mets to finish 9 games on the road. ASB The fun then begins: Home for 4 v TBR, 3 v BAL & 3 v TOR. Perfect chance to make a move in the division. There is a doubleheader on JUL 17th (first day back after ASB) and no days off from then until JUL 23 (between BAL & TOR) Then, no days off, even between the 10 game homestand and the 7 game west coast swing (ATH & LAD JUL 27-AUG 2) That's into trade deadline time. We got to make a solid move, right now.

    I think that's it. Usually the "mutual" option favors the player, but at 38 a guaranteed deal is very valuable. BTW, he'll be 39 before next season starts. He's at 24.2 IP at the halfway point, so 40 may not be a sure thing.
  8. moonslav59
    When is the last time the Sox had 5 SP'ers below 3.60. What's more amazing is we are missing our ... #1 Crochet #4 Houck #5 Bello #6-7 Sandoval #7-8 Crawford #8-9 Oviedo ERAs 2.69 Gray, 2.78 Tolle (nearing IP qualification) 2.83 Suarez, 3.27 Bennett & 3.49 Early (leads the team in IP) Our 2 best RP'ers: 2.19 Chapman & 2.70 Whitlock
  9. moonslav59
    The Sox have not let up 4 runs in 9 IP since letting up 4 on June 18th. They have not let up more than 4 since June 16th. (12 games) Starters and pen. Before tonight's game- 12 previous games: 2.44 ERA SP'er 1.82 (41 ERA-) It only got better with Gray's game tonight! I guess it is possible to win with pitching afterall. (Sorry Fred!)
  10. moonslav59
    Well, the Sox lose the chance to not bring him back, so that's a plus for someone his age.
  11. moonslav59
    I wish you were someone else's GM calling on Duran.
  12. moonslav59
    ...and they call me a Duran hater.
  13. moonslav59
    The Yanks, I assume.
  14. moonslav59
    His stock just ticked above zero. TRADE!
  15. moonslav59
    Yes, I missed him. Maybe late AUG-SEP at best?
  16. moonslav59
    Shocking win and game! WOW!
  17. moonslav59
    Yoshida and Ward. Eaton can play OF, if needed. All should hit .620ish or better.
  18. moonslav59
    DUB-WIN, maybe. Big hit today.
  19. moonslav59
    Now, Brez needs to take away his Duran opptions.
  20. moonslav59
    Yesterday, the Rays passed the Yanks for the ALE lead: today the Rangers (42-42) passed the Mariners (42-43) for the ALW lead. CLE (44-40) & CWS (43-39) are tied for the ALC lead. We remain 5 GB the last WC slot (SEA), but we gained on a few teams in between. SEA 42-43 (+4 Run Diff) WC GB 0.5 HOU (-42) 1.0 A's (-51) 2.0 MIN (-30) 2.5 TOR (-33) 3.0 BAL (-26) 5.0 BOS (+4 is tied for 4th best in AL) Gotta win tonight to gain a half game on everyone.
  21. moonslav59
    Ahh yes. My bad. I'd DFA La Sorsa or Gamboa, but I wouldn't miss Gasper. Knizner, Delay or Thaiss might be fine, if we need a catcher, later.
  22. moonslav59
    Sandoval went 4 good innings today and may be ready to join the big club, soon- most likely in the pen. Moran has been pitching well in his rehab assignment. Sogard is expected to start rehabbing very soon, but I'm not sure he gets the call, when ready. IKF may miss more time than just "after the ASB." Casas has begun swinging off a tee and vs a pitching machine. Anthony is "improving" as he takes "light swings" with a "skinny bat." I'm thinking we'll be lucky to see him in AUG, if at all this year. Nothing new on Crochet. Last word was "not quite ready to start throwing." Oviedo has started a throwing program, but isn't close to being ready. Crawford had "tightness in his forearm" on June 12th and nothing new has been reported. So, basically Sandoval & Moran to help the pen, then maybe someday Anthony to return and DH and Crochet to pitch.
  23. moonslav59
    Maybe Romy can give the offense a boost. He's missed some time, but has been a decent batter since joining the Sox. He's been a lefty killer, but hit .718 v RHPs (198 PAs,) last year. He had less PAs vs LHPs (143) in 2025 and 2024-2025 combined... 2024-2025 L-R Splits .931 (273 PAs) v LHPs .651 (284 PAs) v RHPs From 2024-2026, Romy has the 7th best OPS vs LHPs in MLB (270+ PAs) Willson is 15th at .897 Ref has fallen to #43 at .822.
  24. moonslav59
    Romy to DH and bat 5th. Duran sits this one out. 1. Eaton LF 2. Rafaela CF 3. Abreu RF 4. Contreras 1B 5. Romy DH 6. Durbin 3B 7. Seigler 2B 8. Wong C 9. Cheng SS Bench: L Duran, L Yoshida, R Narvaez, R Monasterio
  25. moonslav59
    Gasper to AAA as I had hoped.
