    I think they do need a starter. Price has had issues with his arm off and on this year. And Dombrowski didn't get any depth pitching in the off-season except Kyle Kendrick. Meanwhile Jeremy Hellickson is getting dealt for table scraps to a team that isn't even buying....

    They will eventually. The Sox need someone to hit until then.

    Even if you included Groome, I'm not sure a 19yo lefty with 15 unimpressive IP for his career is enough to make KC give up their last chance. Moustakas and Homer and Cain are all FA, and the Royals won't be able to pay for replacements. This might be their last shot for a while. So I am not so sure it was ever easy to get Moustakas. As much as I am no Dombrowski fan, I'd be surprised if he didn't do his due diligence with the Royals....

    You can swear on this site. Give it a f***ing try...

    The team might as well let Benintendi face lefties. He needs to learn and his replacements aren't exactly putting up numbers anyone is going to miss..

    So the Orioles - who are not even in any sort of post-season hunt - manage to acquire Jeremy Hellickson for a bench bat and farm scrap? Meanwhile Dombrowski places Price on the DL and tells fans to expect more from Doug Fister and Hector Velasquez. Seriously?

    Woody Harrelson is a good actor?

    Josh Donaldson's father is in prison. If the Yankees acquired Donaldson, can we assume you'd be equally outraged?

    Are you saying those 0 IP from Thornburg haven't justified that deal in your eyes?
  10. notin
    How's hard? Unless you were willing to part with Devers and/or Groome, what were the Sox going to offer KC that would have inspired them to white flag the entire season....

    There's still time and other options. Duda was hardly the best 1b/DH type available. In fact he might not be the best available one on the Mets...

    His age and slump are immaterial. I think he's a lower priority than Betts and Bradley because he'll likely outgrow his position while both of them are stellar defensive players. ..

    It doesn't affect performance and the standards are higher....

    Looking ahead, Bogaerts is the one Killer B I think the Sox shouldn't extend.

    Real bold housecleaning there. No Fernando Abad?

    But this is a witch hunt, pure and simple. The existence of this thread and the role of Pedroia not only proves that, but also shows how effective it is....

    The problem with fans having the right to be outraged is then the behavior standards become subjective. I prefer some perspective. In an era where I can find dozens of media stories about athletes committing acts of domestic violence, sexual assault, driving under the influence, and illegal possession of a firearm, the time to cry about morality isn't because some overpaid athlete got into a dispute with the press. I can see getting outraged over law breakers. But getting outraged over immaturity? And this issue will never become more severe regardless of how articles cover it....

    Boston sportswriters do almost nothing but keep these types of non-events alive wee beyond any relevance they might have had at ond point. I don't know the facts for this and I don't need to. I would be very surprised if this was the first time something like this happened in Boston or if the Sox were the only team with such an incident this month. But I do know the Boston sportswriters will drive all this home with greater fervor the the "Great Chicken and Beer Fiasco"....

    Like the Sox, the Guardians have also not been living up to expectations. Outside of the Astros, the AL doesn't have much that you KNOW is even going to be in the post-season. ...

    Sure, but what's Groome worth in a trade? Right now his trade value is based more on his high school career and draft position than his whopping 16IP in the minors...

    The promotion of Devers could change the Sox timeline. They could try him for 5 weeks and then re-visit the third base market at the end of August when more teams are out of it. While it might be tough to get a Moustakas or Beltre through waivers, other names might be available. ...

    And was reportedly very close to being called up to replace Headley at third base...

    Hopefully they can add a bat a maybe a reliever. It doesn't bode well when the savior for the pre-season favorite to win the AL pennant started the season in AA ball...

    I agree. Any prospect who gives up after initial failure was never much of a prospect anyway. ..

    Sox don't need Avila, but yhey do need 1b help. Alonso, Duda, or Bruce are most likely. ..
