Is Schwarber a star? Story has more Silver Sluggers than Schwarber and more top ten MVP finishes with only one less All Star appearance. And remember, the ask was for aging stars. Story certainly qualifies as an aging star…

So… Story?
-
That information was not available at the time of the trade… -
Given his plate discipline, contact rate and pull-happy tendencies, I can see why he was on the list. He’s like Paredes, but either way less pop..,

I live in Chicago. We don’t have crocodiles, which is good because if we did, they’d have access to and know how to use automatic weapons…

Let’s not overlook that they have one of the highest payrolls and one of the worst records in MLB and managed to sneak an 11 game losing streak in there. Probably bigger factors than Cora being available. Dombrowski fired Girardi in 2022 because the team was massively underperforming. He didn’t can Girardi solely because Rob Thomson was available…

Duran’s baserunning advantage is nullified by his .231 OBP…

Hanley is clearly insane and owns a gun, which is why I was (jokingly) reluctant to accuse him…

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I

Perhaps he is baiting all the pitchers in MLB? You know, like he wanders the lonely halls of Fenway loudly proclaiming “Woe is me. I can only hit pitches down the middle. Throw a pitch up and in and I’m as powerless as the king at Medieval Times.” Then one day, in a key at bat, some pitcher will throw him one up and in and WHAM! Duran gets hit by the pitch! -
Because Schwarber’s defense is so bad that he couldn’t catch COVID if he licked every doorknob in 2020? I mean, thats all I got on it…

Swanson was a pretty mediocre player the bulk of his career with the Braves. Before the outlier 2022 season, his career OPS+ was 90. And he has always had one of the weakest arms of any MLB starting SS. Great hands and range, but throws like a 6 year old girl using her weak arm. It’s been working out great for the Cubs, but I don’t fault any team for looking past Swanson…

So the Sox real failure was not signing Kyle Schwarber to play 2b….

Well, you have to remember he’s talking about the ‘60s. So yeah, they were probably lots of fun to watch since everyone was hopped up on goofballs. I mean, what wasn’t fun to watch in the 60s? -
All the more reason to hurry!!
-
The Sox need Braiden Ward and his .462 OBP…
-
That wasn’t a tag up play. Are you saying he should have run through the stop sign?
-
Tagged what?
-
That was mvp you trolled. We’re different people. He’s taller, but I’m more handsome and wittier…
-
Maybe Brock didn’t feel safe until recently? And in all fairness, he never actually named Hanley. It could be coincidental. It was probably Sandoval. That makes more sense. And, completely unrelated, does Hanley read this forum?
-
Eaton is very fast. Also throws very hard. Two difficult skills to improve with coaching. But he’s a mediocre hitter who probably becomes a bad hitter as his PAs increase…
-
Montagna?

The alleged story on dumping Hanley might be one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. Brock Holt told a story you can find on the internet about a teammate in Boston who threatened to bring a gun into the locker room and then singled out Holt as one of his primary targets. Holt warned his teammate not to say things like that as he (Brock) had to report it, but reportedly the teammate didn’t back down and recant. Holt to this day refuses to identify the teammate, but several days later, Hanley was released. I was surprised at the time that the Sox cut bait wuth Hanley, but it makes sense after hearing this story…

Agreed. Breslow is in charge, which carries a certain amount of culpability, but he’s not the reason many players on this team are simply not performing. To say it’s that he didn’t soend enough ignores obvious issues - such as the fact that 5 teams gave records as bad or worse than Boston’s, and four of them have similar or bigger payrolls. Two (Mets and Phillies) have significantly larger payrolls. Breslow has made stupid trades. Tibbs for May being the most obvious. I mean, if May was a capable contributor, why would the Dodgers sell him off in a pennant race? With 2full months left and no more waiver deadline, they were not going to unload any pitcher they thought they might need. And May was not going to be one they needed and they knew it. Dumb, dumb trade. Harrison for Durbin looks bad, but really it’s pure SSS right now snd each player has a lot of baseball left before their control expires. I didn’t think Durbin was the guy they needed, but he might prove to be an asset at some point…

Next up - Alex Gamboa and Jedixson Paez…
