    While I don’t support his not hustling, he did recently say he had some groin issues. What if he didn’t run hard because it hurt to?

    I do not think it’s true that no one ever suggested 1b to Devers. Bloom’s initial contract extension proposal that Devers rejected was similar to an extension that had recently been signed by Matt Olson with Atlanta. Reportedly this extension was based on the organization’s view that Devers’ future was as a first baseman in the view of the Sox organization. If this is true and was relayed to Devers (and/or his agent), then it did come up before…

    I can understand getting upset about being told his defense was a problem (which it was). But I can’t get the highest paid player when asked about filling in for an injured teammate publicly saying “I can’t play every position” and “it’s [Breslow’s] job to go get a first baseman.” Im hearing stories Devers asked to be traded…

    Devers’ situation should definitely be compared to 13yo black lung patients coming off their quadruple shifts….

    Not verbatim. But yes, it is…

    The timing could not have been worse here. Sweep the Yankees, climb over .500, get back in the race. And then unload the superstar hitter…

    And not on the guy who effectively said “if I can’t play where I want to play, I’m not going to play anywhere”? Or the manager who agreed?

    Clearly this move was made to clear a path for Yoshida…

    No. They had to fire Cora and get a manager who, well, manages his players…

    Supposed to fire Cora, not Devers…

    It never ceases to amaze me how many fans think they know the health and status of the bullpen better than the managers. Cora isn’t giving save opportunities to Weissert because he wants some sort of Socialist bullpen. When another pitcher is getting a save chance, 100% of the time it is because Chapman is unavailable…

    Holt wasn’t voted to the All Star team; he was a sole team rep selected by AL All Star team manager Ned Yost….

    If buying makes sense in late July, I’m fine with it…

    Don’t go overboard. So who had Romy and Narvaez batting 3rd and 4th for the first Yankee game at Fenway?
  16. notin
    It’s been going on for years (ex: Devers). How many decision makers are still in the organization since then? Cora. Henry. Anyone else? I do doubt Henry tells Cora how to make a lineup…

    Civale was dealt to the White Sox for AAA first baseman 4’6” Andrew Vaughn…

    I’m ok with that if it’s as a pinch runner. Especially as a pinch ghost runner…

    Despite the lack of experience, I’d rather see Campbell start at 2b over Story. Story’s future in Boston is getting murkier since he isn’t anywhere near the player he was in Colorado, likely due to age, injuries, and, well, leaving Colorado. Maybe he can take over 3b next year if Bregman opts out? Campbell isn’t hitting much better, but he at least has the potential to improve. In order to tap into that potential, he needs to play every day. Atlanta needs a SS. Send them Story and some cash for something of potential use, preferably a pitcher, although I don’t consider that likely unless it's the injured Reynaldo Lopez. They do have Sean Murphy in a similar position to Story - owed some $60mill and blocking the rising star (Drake Baldwin, in this case), but I’d be surprised if that deal went down. BTV values Murphy much, much more than Story, which means the projection sites do as well. If Atlanta uses those sites, why would they make that deal?

    He may not sit out all three, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he started none of them…

    How often did Bloom buy and sell? Maybe once in 2022, but he only brought in spare parts and ignored their bigger needs. If the worst deadline GM ever is your only example, what do you have besides irrelevant extremes?
  22. notin
    Because the Sox pitching isn’t as good as Detroit’s last year. They need an arm for the rotation at a minimum and no one on the farm is close barring a miraculous recovery from Perales…

    This is Cora. He sat Devers vs LHP a first, too. I expect Refsnyder and Romy to start all three games over Anthony and Mayer. Sorry to any fans who bought tickets…

    I have him in third, and he stays there because I stuck to a numerical list and didn’t list my items as 1 and b…
