    I think it’s really just Zack Kelly…

    No kidding. Only 780 humans are talented enough to suit up for MLB games on any given day, yet some folks act like half of them got there via the same process as jury duty…

    I am ok seeing if he is better, especially since the Sox have all those options available and there will likely be enough innings to go around. With maybe even some for Sandlin, Tolle, and/or Early…

    I’m ok predicting Roman Anthony settles somewhere in the Milky Way-sized gray area in between Jarred Kelenic and Ted Williams…

    What internal options?

    I doubt he was a DFA candidate…

    Oh please. Teams were giving up quality relief pitching for James Outman. I’m sure some team would give up an A ball player for Grissom. If nothing else, Grissom possesses the ability to play Major League Baseball for minimum wage, and a lot of teams value that skill…

    Makes me wonder why they didn’t send him off in some minor trade last week. If he is as poor of a fit as you say, why waste the 40 man roster spot on him?

    Good and Pithy was one of the worst candy ideas of all time…

    Detroit has been all over the place recently. They’re 6-2 in their last 8, but that comes off a 1-12 stretch in the previous 13…

    My big concern with May is they got him from a contender, and a team that clearly knows him, for a 23yo struggling in A ball. If May was such an asset, why did the Dodgers unload him for a package that will clearly not help this year and might never be worth anything?

    Casas? Campbell? Most first basemen do come up playing other positions. Possible we see blocked prospects like Password grab a new mitt…

    He absolutely improved the team. Improvements need not only take place on July 31st. And even then, he certainly improved the team in that date. Just not to the degree you wanted…

    Pirates - sending them Enmanuel Valdez for a low level minor leaguer. Twins - two separate trades for Jovani Moran and Jorge Alcala. There was a second deal with the White Sox as well where we sent them Cam Booser for a minor leaguer…

    So now he should quit because he’s didnt have autonomous control? Does any CBO in the league have that? And how would his resignation help the Sox? I don’t think this is a reasonable answer , but rather a last ditch grasp at dangling straws to justify your position. Breslow, like most people, probably prefers to stay employed rather than quitting due to apparent control issues that would prevent him from getting hired anywhere else…

    You would need to talk to the author of the software in question…

    Well then opinions are clearly divided on his efforts…

    There’s a big difference between Breslow’s job and your expectations from Breslow’s job. I wasn’t thrilled with his deadline results, but I do have a better understanding of them. Still don’t like Dustin May, however…

    Spell check doesn’t fix auto corrected substitution, which, as substitutions, are spelled correctly…

    This is such a copout answer. Whether or not other teams were able to acquire a “#2” starter is a question about the feasibility of the task. It’s a barometer about the market. As it was a seller’s market in which closers went for multiple BA Top 100 prospects, it really is worth noting that no top tier starters were traded. If your answer is the Sox should have done whatever it takes, then we can only assume you would have included Anthony in this deal…

    The interesting option is Giolito. He has a $14mill team option for 2026. But if he throws a very reachable 140 IP (currently at 95), it becomes a $19mill mutual option. Would he accept that?

    DFA Alcala with a 1.69 ERA and a 99mph fastball?Peripherals do not support that ERA at all, but he still has to be behind Isaiah Campbell in the DFA pecking order, and in the same neighborhood as Eaton, Sogard, and Burdi. I wonder about a potential DFA of Vaughn Grissom as well, but I think because he has not appeared in MLB this year, he can still be traded. That potential usefulness alone might give reason to hold on to him…

    I’m not sure either one opts out. Story isnt getting a better deal at his age with his injury history. Even Bregman has to weigh whether or not it makes sense to walk away from $40mill. If they opt out, msybe Alonso for 1b? Casas is unreliable given that he keeps getting injured doing routine baseball activities…

    Why? Trade deadline grades are as useless as power rankings. It’s pseudo-journalistic fluff. The sporting journalism equivalent of a Hallmark holiday. They’re winning. They were happy to keep the team together. And that’s all that matters…

    Blaze Jordan is blocked? By whom? Abraham Toro?
