  1. Because this isn’t the NFL or NBA where you tank to gain a better chance at a draft pick capable of making an immediate impact…
  2. StatCast has him as 45th in sprint speed. Once he gets down to 60th, he’s useless…
  3. They could just demote Yoshida to Worcester and keep all the outfielders just in case of injuries down the stretch. With no more waiver trade deadline, teams will struggle to add MLB talent to their team for the final one third of a season…
  4. Most deals happen July 31. There have only been a handful of deals so far, and really only one potential Sox target. Two if you think Nick Fortes should have been on their radar. The problem the Sox (and most teams) have is the selling teams are in absolutely no rush to make deals and start losing more often even sooner. They can afford to wait out best offers. There is some risk if a player gets hurt or gets involved in gambling, however…
  5. If the Twins were in it, do you think a trade for Clase (pre-suspension) should cost Royce Lewis plus prospects based on historical precedent? Would you deal Lewis for Salas and two months of Cease?
  6. So you’d rather watch them lose 55 more games than watch them lose 2 postseason games? Yeah that makes sense…
  7. And done…. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/07/tigers-in-serious-discussions-to-acquire-chris-paddack-from-twins.html
  8. But Vogt might need to sit his players down and remind them. “Stay away from any and all sports betting. You’re all paid very well. If you feel the need to gamble, just play online poker and use a messaging app to cheat like normal people do….”
  9. No. Three time MVPs with 50-50 seasons don’t get disciplined the same as regular players…
  10. Wilson? The volleyball from Cast Away? I’d go with Hicks first…
  11. No one can tell about Campbell’s just yet. But Vaughn Grissom might be buying him sometime given how he’s been crushing everything for the last 2 months…
  12. Two more years of control. Seems small right now, but it does matter…
  13. Yes. Useful as a pinch runner. Not so much as a starting. 2b, although at least he has the glovework for the role.
  14. Well, to be fair, Lee is 78 years old. Not even Gossage or Jamie Moyer were pitching at that age. The jury is still out on Rich Hill…
  15. Vs RHP - Duran in CF, Rafaela at 2b Vs LHP - Rafaela in CF, Romy at 2b If the Sox do get a full time 1b, they need a new platoon place for Romy anyway…
  16. Any job that involves predicting the future also involves being incorrect…
  17. But he is better than the other option of Hamilton, Sogard and Grissom, which is the point…
  18. If Mayer is out long term, it does make more sense to keep Duran in CF and Rafaela at 2b than to trade Duran and put David Hamilton on the field more often. But I suppose it all depends what Duran would get traded for…
  19. And only 941 career IP behind the plate. He strikes me as a future mainstay on the Injured List…
  20. The interesting fix might be 1b. Who are the candidates? Yandy Diaz is the clear best option IMO. I don’t buy into the whole “won’t trade within the division” angle. With balanced schedules and 3 wild cards, division races have become somewhat muted. Josh Naylor is a Mariner. Rhys Hoskins is injured. Ryan O’Hearn stopped hitting two months ago. Ty France stopped hitting two years ago. Josh Bell? At some point, it’s not an improvement over Toro/Romy. Carlos Santana? I suppose he’s still a target. Not sure he is an upgrade either. Who else is in play?
  21. MSN posted a clickbait article about a swap of Jarren Duran for RHSP Andrew Abbott. I don’t see Cincy going for it…
