    I do agree that having Holt and Nunez does mitigate the need for a stopgap 2b. I would imagine if the Sox do pursue a 2b, it might be a statement about their knowledge and expectations for Pedroia’s future...

    While true, DD does like big name splash players and Kimbrel was his first major acquisition in Boston...

    I think DD brings back Kimbrel. For the rumored money and years, I would prefer he brought back Kelly and looked elsewhere for a closer...

    No. Even with his outstanding postseason, no GM is going to give him more money and years with his history of elbow trouble. I think fans view postseason stats very differently than most GMs, and especially stats from one postseason for starting pitchers...

    Doubtful all vacancies are filled by spending. We do have a President/GM who likes to make trades. Any of the following (and possibly a few others) might be trade bait to fill those needs: Bobby Dalbec Sam Travis Blake Swihart Brian Johnson Michael Chavis Josh Ockimey Chandler Shepherd Mike Sharwyn Heath Hembree Brandon Workman Not sure what that gets them, but I do expect a deal or two. I do think a reliever or two and a stopgap 2b can be acquired from players in that assortment...

    My prediction has always been he ends up in Chicago, where I could see both teams being interested. The White Sox are loaded with young players and really need a superstar to bring it all together (and reportedly tried to acquire him last year). And the Cubs have a lot of money to spend and will soon have a vacancy at shortstop once they unload Addison Russell. Now Addison Russell is a guy I could see the Yankees acquiring...

    So can we all forgive Ian Kinsler now?

    Some us always believed in him

    To be fair, he was about them winning 85 games. He just forgot to add the other 34 wins...

    The entire point was how well this team is doing, yet with (at the time) a 2-0 lead in the World Series, we still have to question the manager? Is there no pleasing some people?

    I had fun needling Cubs’ fans in 2001 when Arizona won it all. “Their fans had to wait four long years for a title.” And “the last time the Cubs won the World Series, Arizona wasn’t even a state.” (This was actually true in 2001.) But I live among these Cub fan freaks...

    There is an argument here for the late Dallas Green, GM of the Cubs in 1984 who acquired Rick Sutcliffe (16-1, 2.69 ERA after the trade)...

    This is Brian Dozier’s chance for a big payday, and he won’t be looking for “stopgap” money and years, ditto DJ LeMahieu. So if the Sox pursue either, it would appear to be an attempt to replace Pedroia permanently. Stopgap players are names like Jed Lowrie, who is 35 and not likely to get multiple years, and Logan Forsythe. If the Sox are moving on from Pedroia, Dozier and LeMahieu are in play. But I would imagine the Lowrie/Forsythe types are more likely...

    Cora’s worst mistakes were about half a dozen moves in game 3, including pitching to Puig with first open and Barnes on deck in game 3...

    A good win to get series momentum back and push LA to the edge. Also, I hope most of you have stopped sticking pins in your Ian Kinsler dolls now...

    Cora was a bigger issue than Kinsler. All September. fans were worried about carrying enough hitters to accommodate Vázquez or Leon in the lineup. Having both and for as long as he did was just a mess. With Betts and Bogaerts flailing, what part of the order were we counting on to score?
