Agreed. The Halos problem isn’t Trout’s contract. It’s the deals of Pujols, Upton and Rendon. Plus having a farm system only capable of producing fragile pitchers...
-
And those last two years represent 345 plate appearances spread across 2 seasons. This year’s .220 BABIP could also be a factor...
-
And he looks like crap in the outfield...
-
Why would you waive them if they still have options? To release them? Other than Duran, the Sox don't have anyone in the minors that you look at and think "We need to get THIS GUY a shot."...
-
I have both on my fantasy team. Verdugo is saving me while Mookie is killing me...
-
Well, his OPS is 2019 was .854, which is better than his career average was even at the time (and second highest of his career). 2020 and 2021 have consisted of 345 plate appearances total, which for him is just over half of one season. The body is not cold yet...

Moss was an All Star...
-
Well, the concept of "winning" does go hand in hand with the concept of "losing", usially on the opposite side of the same contest/match/game whatever. Trades are more difficult, because it can work out for both sides but that doesn't necessarily equate to a tie...
-
And one of those prospects we dealt was JB Wendelken, who is still pitching pretty well in the Oakland bullpen...
-
I stand corrected. Burnes does have the record for a starting pitcher at 49 K's without a BB (and counting), even after last night's beating at the hands of the Marlins (in which he K'd 9 and still issued no walks). The actual record for strikeouts before issuing a walk to start the season is 51 K's by Kenley Jansen in 2017...
-
He's 0 for 15 lifetime with 6 K's and 1 sac bunt. So maybe he's due? -
I know that, but it sounds like it when he becomes the justification for carrying 14 pitchers. Really most teams that have the 4 bench players have that one player that has been rostered all month and still only has somewhere between 5 and 8 plate appearances. The Sox just cut out that guy and used another bullpen pitcher. I just wonder what happened to the rule from 2020 that teams could have 26 man rosters but not more than 13 pitchers...
-
And Allen has yet t become anything special, but right now he is better than Josh Taylor. Of course, the trade that got us Taylor could also be viewed as a win, considering we got him for Deven Marrero...
-
The problem with calling Boston a “winner” in those deals is it implies Toronto and Tampa were losers. Exactly what did either team lose out on considering both Eovaldi and Pearce hit free agency three months after being dealt and both teams still have a Major League ball player on the roster?
-
I wouldn’t call Pearce and Eovaldi “under the radar.” We were all aware, both played big roles in October, and both signed new deals with Boston. The biggest “under the radar” deadline acquisition in Red Sox history is far and away dealing Henri Stanley to the Dodgers for Dave Roberts...
-
At what point do we make it sound like we built the roster around a Rule 5 pick? They very likely wanted more pitching depth because no one threw much last year and they figured a rash of injuries or fatigue were likely. The biggest problem I have with carrying 14 pitchers is two of them are Taylor and Brice...
-
If first names count, let’s not forget Turkey Tyson. And his memorable career consisting of a single plate appearance in 1944. Also, his name consists of two poultry references - an MLB record...
-
Ty France
-
If we can use first names, there is a slew of players named Chad...

Dave England

Why? It’s not 9 innings. Pitchers like Matt Young and Andy Hawkins have thrown 8 inning no hitters in road games their teams lost (through no fault of Young or Hawkins). Both pitchers were credited with complete games. Neither with no hitters. So now a 7 inning CG no hitter counts but an 8 inning CG no hitter doesn’t?
-
Read it somewhere or heard it on MLB radio. When he got to 30 Ks there were numerous articles about him being the first pitcher with 30 strikeouts and no walks since 1906. No idea who did that in 1906, despite my researching the subject...
-
I get that viewpoint. but also at some point, when you do acquire a player at the deadline, you do have to tell someone on your team "you're not good enough," which can be interpreted as "you're the one holding us back." Even Verlander replaced somebody...
-
I can attest that the stories about him in Chicago later in his career were far from stellar as well. He was reportedly a notorious complainer. He played better D than Nomar, but anything else appears to be up for debate...
-
Also worth noting is the 2004 deadline trade did not look equal on paper. The Sox traded away one of the best shortstops in team history and acquired a talented but lesser shortstop and a defensive replacement at 1b. Maybe getting rid of Nomar made the clubhouse better? But then we all know acquiring Mientkiewicz didn’t sit well with Millar...
