  1. Not true. It has been reported. That doesn’t mean it happened, which is why I opened with “Reportedly”…
  2. Maybe not MLB, but I think they can be 5th in the AL East….
  3. At the time, Casas was still healthy and I think the Sox were not quite at the point of forgetting he existed, which appears not to be the case with your post ;)
  4. Reportedly Devers asked to be traded. If so, on some level that probably means you need to look into it. I don’t like that’s what it got to, if that did indeed go down…
  5. And they acquired a (soon to be) 24 yo SP with a BA Top 100 pedigree who is under control through 2029, one of the hardest throwing pitchers in MLB, and they acquired a 13th overall pick from 2024. But there is no denying this team is worse than it was 24 hours ago…
  6. Or his eye roll meant “ come on! I’ve answered that four times today already!”
  7. T you’re talking about the offer Devers signed. I’m talking about an earlier offer that he didn’t. https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/red-sox-matt-olson-comparable-rafael-devers-contract/ This is in response to commentary that the Sox never mentioned first base before this year, which appears untrue. Its actually pretty likely the only reason Bloom had to make such a promise was the mention of 1b in previous negotiations…
  8. 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?
  9. 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…
  10. 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…
  11. Devers’ situation should definitely be compared to 13yo black lung patients coming off their quadruple shifts….
  12. 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…
  13. 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?
  14. Clearly this move was made to clear a path for Yoshida…
  15. No. They had to fire Cora and get a manager who, well, manages his players…
  16. Since I posted this, Story has a 1.084 OPS…
  17. 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…
  18. Holt wasn’t voted to the All Star team; he was a sole team rep selected by AL All Star team manager Ned Yost….
  19. If buying makes sense in late July, I’m fine with it…
  20. Don’t go overboard. So who had Romy and Narvaez batting 3rd and 4th for the first Yankee game at Fenway?
  21. 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…
  22. Civale was dealt to the White Sox for AAA first baseman 4’6” Andrew Vaughn…
  23. I’m ok with that if it’s as a pinch runner. Especially as a pinch ghost runner…
