Not to be the Rain Man...... 23-28 CC Wong 23-28 1B Casas 23-28 2B Story ??-?? SS ???? 23-33 3B Devers 23-27 LF Yoshida 23-28 CF Duran 23-24 RF Verdugo 23-23 DH Turner I think it's incredible that 5 of 9 positions have players under team control for 6 years, through 2028. 1 player (Yoshida) is under team control for 5 years (23-27). Another player, Verdugo is under team control for 2 years (2-24) and he maybe extended. We just need to fill SS, DH and RF (it maybe Verdugo). To me, we're closer than we think. Work needs to be done with our starting rotation. We may need a witch doctor more than anything else.

I was curious about that. Smith looks hittable.
-
Rangers go up 11-10 in bottom of 8th. Houston goes ahead 12-11 in top of 9th. Looks like Texas could use a closer. Lol
-
We might as well play good teams. We suck vs bad teams.
-
The are paying Perez $18M. That sounds like #3 to me. Just kidding.
-
Not to nitpick, but yes, Bloom said Xander was a priority. But I'm saying that I think Bloom knew Devers was the bigger priority. And Bloom has said many things that hasn't come true. Not saying he's a liar. He believes in certain things, but he's often wrong.
-
Ok, someone mentioned Perez is #3 starter for the Rangers. They are getting blitzed by the Astros 10-5. Perez lasted 1 1/3 innings today. Giving up 6 hits, 6 earned runs on 3 dingers. You think the Rangers are concerned about Paxton's health? They invested $500M last year between Seager and Semien. They paid out $185M contract to deGrom this year. It's now or never type of the year for the Rangers. They would love to have Big Maple in Big Texas. We should get a young starting arm....they have enough of it. The Rangers are $5M+ under the cap. We're on the hook for $4M on Paxton. Hell we can pay 100% of his salary if that helps. Bloom is just that kind of a guy. How enticing is that for the Rangers? Get a quality #3 pitcher and stay under the cap. They have plethora of young arms. It's a no brainer.

I'm bit skeptical of these All Star selections. So many teams with one selection and my guess is certain positions are more open than others. Devers and Verdugo deserves just as much as Jansen. Same goes for Bello.
-
Many here would disagree, but Devers was a bigger priority for Bloom. With Story and Mayer on the horizon, and the third base occupied by Devers, why would we sign Xander to a 10 year deal? How many Sox fans dropped off because of it? Being a baseball fan today means your favorite Sox many not be a Sox forever. Those days are gone.
-
I think we dodged the bullet with Xander signing. It's business. How excited am I to be a Padres fan knowing we're year 1 of 10+ year deals of Xander and Machado? I can't wait until they're 40. Oh boy. And Borass will demand $40M for Soto. You chose very unwisely, Padres. They should have extended Soto and passed on Xander.

Moon, there should be a separate thread for 2023 Trade Deadline, pleeeeeeease

Casas AB HR RBI AVG OBP OPS Month 73 3 06 .137 .284 .585 April 70 3 08 .257 .338 .767 May 84 3 11 .286 .375 .851 June Gotta keep playing him.

At some point, subtracting Kike will be positive for the Sox. Right now, I rather see anyone else than Kike....even Valdez who is playing AAA.
-
Ever the optimist. At least you don't give up.
-
Ok i will quit being a dick. I just don't think we have enough for playoffs. I am more concerned about building for future. I see Wong Casas Story Mayer Devers Duran Verdugo Rafaela and Yoshida as the core going forward. Throw in Refs Abreu Yorke as other possibilities. Our pitching staff needs work. I am not counting Sale at all. Whitlock is fast approaching Sale clone injury wise. That's one reason I am so hard on Kike and Duval. They are on a one year deal. They are not being productive.
-
Kike comes through again. 0-3 with 3 Ks. Stranding runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out. Nice $10M investment.
-
Who was that f***ing idiot making fun of me when I said I prefer Duran over Duval? He has turned 3 singles into 3 doubles today. My main point was Duran is under team control for 5 more years. Why would you want him sitting on bench?
-
If I went 0-5 with 4k's I wouldn't want to play today either.
-
Scorer really gave hit on Kike's dropped ball? The inning would have been over on next groundball had Keike made that catch. Unreal. Grading on curve much?
-
I am really curious about that play. Who initiated it? I doubt it was the pitcher. So was it Hamilton or Kike? Dumbest play with 3-2 count WITH runner on 3rd
-
You can always count on Kike at short in a middle of cluster f***.
-
0-4 3 K I'm beginning to think his first 30 at bats were pure luck.
-
Sell high, buy low theory comes to mind. The Globe just had an article about why the Sox should trade Paxton.
-
Which playoff team contender has enough pitching but is in need of bats?
-
What would Texas give up to get Paxton?
