Most of the moves that Moon suggest, which never happen would also cause other moves to be made also. It’s not just 1 move that would have to be made.
-
🙈🤭🤮
-
As you can see with all the players who have played 1B this year Raffy isn’t even the 3rd emergency 1B.
-
Or Casas?
-
And if Story moves to 2B, which is most likely than going to 3B since Raffy is still entrenched there as is Casa at 1B.🤫
-
Agree, and like I said earlier the Red Sox have a big need at 2B this year, but next year that need might not be there, or as big, so I don’t see Grissom getting nowhere near 5 years to prove himself at 2B.
-
Isn’t it the Boston way with what have you done for me lately? Look at Raffy he can hit a HR in 1 AB, and he’s Devers Forevers, and the next AB he can K with 2 men on, and he Never Devers. How someone gets off to a start in Boston is always big for a new player. Duvall, and O’Neil got off hot, but Grissom just the opposite.
-
5 more years? He has to prove himself right now,because he might not get this chance again. The need is now, and next year maybe not so much depending on what happens with Mayer, and Story. The Ham Man is playing better than Grissom right now, so now this isn’t a 5 year trial period.
-
I’m not giving a final grade to the trade, but like I keep saying the here, and now is what’s most important at the moment, and at the moment Sale is great, and Gus has pretty much sucked. I didn’t expect any great D from him at 2B either. If he was hitting better it wouldn’t look as bad, but he’s not. Still plenty of games left in the season for things to change though, and something probably will. Grissom is not this bad.
-
Bottom line Sale over Grissom who hasn’t added any offense, or defense anyway.
-
At the moment, which is most important, and where we are the Red Sox have pretty much traded Sale for nothing, and are paying Atlanta $17M to boot. Gus Grissom most likely isn’t this bad, and will come around to some extent. How good that is time will tell.
-
Who expected this? Really? The team that traded for him, and then extended him, and got the Red Sox to pay $17M of his contract this year. That’s who!
-
I could have understood more if Atlanta had to pay the whole contract.
-
He’s healthy at the moment, and producing. Why is that so hard for you to comprehend? Wow! C’mon man have a little bit of a clue.
-
NNNNNN. Overrated?
-
Sale was here. The others wasn’t.🤭🙈
-
Sale has also more than a proven record when healthy.
-
And Brez jumped on Gio when no one else was calling him.
-
Why do you keep going on about no one was advocating to extend Sale again when Bell brought up yesterday that the club had an option for 2025, so there was no need for an extension. The problem is Gus has pretty much sucked so far, and Sale has been healthy, and pitching great. It’s not really all that complicated to understand.
-
Right now the Ham Man is the better player.
-
Unlucky? You get two more NN for that one.
-
Like I said slim, and none.🙈🤭

Outside of when the Yankees, and O’s are playing the Red Sox I could care less if they win every game, or lose every game. -
I don’t know if Grissom will be sent down, or not, and it may help him. All this Kavadas talk I believe is for naught, and he has two chances of coming up, which are slim, and none. Smith has shored up the D at 1B, and has chipped in with a few hits here, and there. If the KMan was going to be brought up he’d have been there already.

You always get giddy, and go out looking for other posters, who usually end up finding you in the end when all is said, and done.🤫
