With 88 games left it's a little early to get excited about a WC spot.
-
To this point in the season Chapman has been the Sox best closer since Koji.
-
What highly rated prospects mainly demonstrate when they're brought up is how bad the pitching is in the minors.
-
8 straight balls; not easy to do.
-
Maybe Bailey is as good as advertised.
-
Another fine job by a Sox starter.
-
Zack Pop.Any relation to Iggy?
-
A painful walk by Toro.
-
As a hitter Hamilton would make a good pinch runner.
-
In case anyone is interested the average BA in MLB this season is .244.
-
Houdini would have been proud of that.
-
Replacing Devers' bat? Isn't that Anthony's job? I certainly hope he succeeds. Roman seems like a team player.
-
Betts didn't want to play here and Devers is a Diva.
-
Otoh, if Devers had agreed to play 1st right after the Casas injury, Cora could have had more options to put a better lineup at the plate. Maybe winning more of those one run losses. I guess we'll never know.
-
Why would the Sox trade their closer now? As long as the FO feels the Sox are contenders Chapman ain't going nowhere.
-
Devers' crying towel? Yes
-
True. I guess trading Chapman will depend where the Sox are at the TDL.
-
Why do you want the excellent Chapman traded? That makes no sense.
-
The money saved by trading Devers will be available to keep Skenes for a long time. IMHO, Skenes is the target and the Sox will offer the Pirates a deal they can't refuse.
-
The Sox are a young team. Having a pouting Diva in the clubhouse is poison .
-
IMHO, Devers hasn't been that happy to play in Boston since they let his best friend X-man go. Removing Devers from 3rd was the final straw for Devers. Like Moon posted some of these players the Sox got in return will be part of a large package to get Skenes.
-
I disagree Moon. If the Sox really want Skenes, they have the tradable players to get him. I'm betting they will .
-
This trade reminds me of the Nomar trade in '04.
-
I think this trade is a little similar to the Nomar trade. Neither appeared happy to be on the Sox and were causing bad vibes to the rest of the team.
-
I'm referring to career wise.
