Hangs head low......walks away

I predicted Roman Anthony would be promoted to the big league club by June 1st. I was wrong.
-
I'm sure there would be, I'm not sure why there wouldn't be. He's a gold glover and mashes righties. Teams probably like Duran better, so it would make sense to ask for him first. Maybe they think he'd be a little cheaper too seeing how he has less control. If the Sox see Duran as part of their long term plan the next three years more so than Abreu I could easily see them saying "well Duran isn't for sale, but how do you feel about Abreu?" I'd suspect said team would either say, yes no or up the offer. Who knows, pure conjecture.

are italics still the international symbol for sarcasm on the world wide webs?

italics.

That would be a huge violation of the rules if Cora was managing the games from afar, and it just seems bonkers. I think it makes more sense that Cora's style rubbed off of him as you said.
-
Oh, you're still under team control. We should be able to get a hefty return for you then.
-
I would trade Abreu over Rafaela or Duran as well I just mentioned Duran because his name has been floated around. To be fair, at the end of the day, no one is untradeable for the right price. Duran does get you the most. I don't believe anyone is taking on Yoshida or Story's contract. You'd have to subsidize most of it, so it wouldn't be much of a salary dump. Sox would likely have to part with high quality prospects to get 1/2 that money off their books. Or take a contract back. And if they're not bringing back quality pieces to compete now, it's really a waste to shed the salary (unless they can get under the cap and reset) Buehler is not a #2. I'm sorry but he's not. I was a fan of the signing, and he might be again at some point, maybe even this year, but despite a very good playoff run last year Buehler has not pitched like a #1 or #2 since 2021. He's also a free agent at the end of this year heading into his age 31 season. You're either going to Q.O. him or trade him, if the season looks lost you trade him.
-
I heard there have been a few interested parties, but they want us to kick in all your salary.
-
That's a pretty serious accusation, was this a thing? was there any evidence of this?
-
If the Sox did become sellers, the return they could get for even just Buehler and Chapman would be enticing. Duran makes sense to make room for Anthony. I know people would probably rather trade Rafaela but you're going to get a lot more for Duran. And the Sox really could use a pitcher. Could we see a little selling and buying this summer? I wouldn't mind selling Duran/Buehler and bringing in a good starting pitcher with an extra year of control.
-
Lets just trade everyone. Duran, Bregman, Chapman, Campbell, Narvaez, Bello, Wong, Giolito. Clean house.
-
I get that, and if that's the case we mine as well keep as many guys at their position as we can. Mayer is the SS of the future.
-
Trevor Story has a .289/.339/.489 slash line vs. LHP. At the very least, they need to start benching Story vs. RHP. He could platoon 2B with Hamilton if they ever moved Campbell to 1B. I would say the same of Campbell but I want him to get his AB's in and evolve. EDIT: This is until he is DFA'd
-
I won't argue against that
-
That wasn't a direct comparison of Story but rather the concept of the sunk cost fallacy.
-
Well, Masa is also injured. Like legit injured, I think we all speculated he wasn't but apparently he actually is. But at least Masa can still hit and get on base. But we don't need a DH.
-
Conversely, if people gave up on their investments too early, they'd constantly be buying high and selling low.
-
Especially a players 1st year in pro ball. If the swing and miss is there, that gets me pretty excited no matter what the stat line looks like.
-
I mean in a perfect world anyone would want that. If you owned a stock of company xyz, and its value cratered, you'd want it to perform and regain it's value whether you keep it OR you decide to sell it. But this is baseball, and just like in finance at a certain point you have to learn to cut your losses. We may very well be there with Story and I CERTAINLY wouldn't argue against anyone saying we are there now.
-
I mean, we got a stiff playing SS right now. I'd rather have a stiff at 3B than a stiff at SS.
-
Mayer
-
LOL, that's a very weird way of looking at it. Do guys just stand still and only make the same amount of plays that come right at them? and are you seriously comparing Raffy to Bregman. Come on man Bregman very clearly is a better defender with more range who gets to and makes more plays.
-
Bregman has certainly made a few more errors this year in an uncharacteristic fashion, but those aside he's been really really good at third base.
-
Even more of a reason to do it right now. Unless they plan on trading Duran, or sitting someone for Anthony.
