    Sometimes folks desperate to discredit enthusiasm need to invent that enthusiasm first. Then they rarely (re: never) realize they’re simply discrediting themselves…

    Marcelo Mayer to Atlanta for RHSP Bryce Elder. Who says no?
  3. notin
    I do think Mayer gets moved this off-season, assuming he is still here next week. Durbin to 2b and Arias breathing down his neck at SS has left him without a position. He does at least come with a pedigree that gives him solid trade value for now..

    Or batting at all vs LHP. But that’s what Romy is for…
  5. notin
    I think we can wait until he gets a uniform with his name stitched on the back…
  6. notin
    Exactly. But probably not until 2027…
  7. notin
    Personally I swap Yoshida and Mead there. But Tracy has recently blocked my texts, so my input is once again minimal…

    Why not? Is everything ok? Did a frozen iguana knock your glasses off? Get bitten in the ocular nerve by a Burmese Python? Tell me it’s not swamp puppy related!!!

    Let’s call this one karma. Or possibly goodwill, after fleecing them completely with Perales for Bennett…

    Long term meaning “3 more months at most”?

    With a torn meniscus in his knee, he might never catch again.
  12. notin
    Or Yoshida…
  13. notin
    So he is available after all..

    Think the Sox gave up a 24yo successful starting pitcher with 5 seasons left until free agency for a weak side platoon option at DH? If so, Breslow should be fired, re-hired, and then fired again…
  15. notin
    A starter. Also we sort of just replaced our leadoff hitter…
  16. notin
    I can understand that, but I doubt it’s the plan. Unless the Sox do something bizarre like realize back in 2018-19 season in the Australian Baseball League, a 17yo Curtis Mead spent two full innings in left field for the Adelaide Bite, successfully registering a put out on his only chance, and this bit of history is enough to qualify Mead to replace Duran and start in left field. But I think he takes 3b for now…
  17. notin
    Yoshida’s value is tied to him being a 30+ year old light-hitting singles machine with no defensive position and some $24mill in outstanding salary commitments. Doubtful he is adding value or getting traded. And I’m one of his biggest supporters. I think the Sox infield is likely: 1b: Contreras 2b: Durbin 3b: Mead SS: Cheng/Monasterio until Story returns next month…
  18. notin
    What logjam?
  19. notin
    Mead has only 48 career games at 2b and only 110 games at 3b. His defensive metrics are not real useful. In the minors, Mead played much more 3b than 2b. Personally, I trust Durbin more at 2b than I trust Mead. Durbin did play more 2b in the minors than 3b. In fact, it’s possible the only reason Durbin ever played third in MLB is the existence of Brice Turang…

    From MLBTR: ”Mead likely slots in at third base for the Red Sox, with the incumbent Caleb Durbin separately telling Alex Speier of the Boston Globe that he is willing to move to second base.” Source: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/07/the-opener-diaz-cease-perez.html

    If Anthony was back “any day now”, great. If the Sox swapped out Narvaez for Langeliers (whose availability is in question), the offense would be better off. But would the pitching really be? And the defense? Bat Narvaez 9th and get an upgrade for LF/DH.
  22. notin
    Clearly the stork has forgotten how we got Harrison and Priester in the first place…
  23. notin
    The catcher’s most important job is defense, and the staff is used to Narvaez and Wong. LF is more important…
  24. notin
    Seigler? Most likely…
  25. notin
    That does help…
