    Well, expecting any 8 WAR player to decline hardly requires psychic ability, but at some point, disappointment in not selling high shouldn’t rest solely on the belief that the other 29 GMs and CBOs are all impulsive morons. Safe bet all of them knew this was selling high as well…

    Unless it’s painfully obvious, I’m not. But this team is being carried by rookie pitchers to a far too great extent. I think pushing it this year hurts them next year. But I get why Breslow has to buy. And I fully expect him to do so. Relief arm, DH (hopefully better than Brett Harris) will be the focus. And I suppose a 2b if Seigler re-pumpkins before Mayer returns…

    Cora certainly wasn’t too thrilled with him in the postseason…

    I think it’s weird I prefer selling but no way are the Sox selling right now..

    Soxprospects.com does put both in the 2027 pen, for what that’s worth..

    Is anyone?

    I’d limit the damage unless some other team gets stupid. And even then, I’d be wary. The more holes Breslow creates, the more he has to fill in 2027. And until 2 weeks ago, many seemed to think this was among the worst MLB teams of all time and the entire roster should be dismantled, a process that NEVER works. Gray and Coulombe are no brainer because teams will need one or the other, and both are gone in 2027 anyway. IKF is the same, but will be harder to re-home. Duran because it already should have been already done, but honestly, it’s probably (re: definitely) selling low. If Breslow doesn’t pull the trigger, I could understand that. Chapman is straight up opportunism. He likely stays under control for 2027, but I’m ok replacing him since he is into that age range where many players just lose it quickly and without warning. He might still be elite in 2027, but I sell anyway. Beyond that, I hold…

    Plus it prevents Weissert from pitching later innings in close games…

    Especially with his broken hand…

    Well, it didn’t work out so well last time Boston did that…

    Who isn’t?

    So that’s priority over killing baby Hitler or making a thousand winning sports bets?

    You let him finish the season in NY and sign him in January. Problem solved…

    I’m fully in Camp Sell. I will enjoy this resurgence as long as it lasts, but I just think this team is too dependent on rookie pitchers and going for it and forcing them to overload could easily put next season at risk. Sell Gray, Chapman Coulombe and Duran. If there is time, add in Guerrero.

    At least one of his homies is still playing this year…

    Hey maybe he’s sleeping in his old room at mom’s house in Florida. The one with the Christian Yelich Fathead on the wall…

    Unless folks start getting activated from the IL at some point in the reasonably near future, those health issues loom large as a reason to sell…

    And curse Breslow for not foretelling that! When Breslow gets fired, I assume your choice to replace him will be Madame Cleo?

    Reportedly Breslow has been trying to do that with Yoshida. But that accomplishes nothing since he was expected to be on the bench. Did anyone even want Story at a discount? Trades are like tangos; it takes two…

    He probably has to include enough money that if just makes sense to keep them…

    He K’s for the same reason he walks - lots of pitches. He’s a 4th OF/ghost runner…

    So you think the Sox should have DFAd Story (2 yrs $46mill) and Yoshida (2 yrs $36mill)?
  24. notin
    You’re wrong. You’re also interested in Braiden Ward. I mean, not romantically or anything. Just as a role player on a Major League Baseball team.,,

    He’s Vern Stephens compared to Story…
