    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…

    Since I posted this, Story has a 1.084 OPS…

    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?
  11. 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?
  17. 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…
  19. notin
    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…
  20. notin
    And yet they did. 5 winning streaks of 4+ games in August and September helped a lot…
  21. notin
    Billy Beane did it quite often in Oakland. Detroit dealt away Flaherty, Chafin, etc. LAST YEAR and made the postseason…
  22. notin
    I’m close. I would go: 1. Wilson 2. Narvaez 3. Kameron Misener 4. Smith 5. Campbell, just ahead of Meidroth… I hope Mayer, Anthony and Dobbins can all make a run…

    BTV strongly suggests Duran brings back the better return with his surplus value of $62.5 million over Abreu’s &43.4 million. While these numbers might be arguably high, I do think Duran is the better all around player. Abreu’s appeal over Duran (besides defense) is the cheaper salary and longer control. Since Abreu is still pre-arb and making league minimum, teams like Pitt, Sacra-Vegas, KC, Tampa, etc. that have financial concerns might be more interested in Abreu than Duran…

    Both. Assuming the Sox can stay within striking distance of a wild card spot over the next 5 weeks. I would move an OF and focus on a return of controllable players, either early MLB or high minors, to make a more immediate impact. This might mean acquiring prospects and then flipping them for more closer players…

    True. But where do you place him? if I asked for your top 5 ROY candidates so far, who is on your list?
