    In my view, this would be a class "dumb team" kind of deal that keeps you stuck in mediocrity. We beat up on some weak teams and all that's happened before that is forgotten and now we're a world series contender. We're not quite there yet, but we're on the verge of a great run, so just be patient and build a little bit more. I love that they drafting a ton of pitchers. I would deal bregman and chapman for young pitching and a stockpile of draft picks over several years in the future, so we can re-load when the Big 3 are up for their big bucks. But that's really playing the long game.

    Is Eaton some sort of under-the-radar long-term prospect? Why is he even playing? Leading off? We're sitting Mayer ... FFS, isn't he our future? The best we can do this year is sneak into the wildcard and lose that or the first series. We should be playing for the next few years. Rant over, haha.

    I think he was playing way above what he really is at this point in his career, so move him now before he comes back to earth.

    this! sell for young pitching! We could make the playoffs this year, but the rotation and bullpen is brutal means we ain't going anywhere. Still a couple years away.

    But they aren't just kidding. They are telling him he needs to improve his defense or someone else is coming. He can either improve his defense, or grab the first baseman's mitt and start practicing. They've been transparent, and he doesn't have a gripe (other than why did they sign him to 10 yr contract in the first place)

    When you give someone hundreds of millions of bucks, seems like that brings them into the inner circle. What they did (if true) wasn't a non-answer, it was a lie. Same at work, if my boss is recruiting my replacement and denies it, and then my replacement shows up, I'm going to be pretty pissed. They should have said, beforehand, hey Raffy, we're looking at moving you to DH before they start talking to Bregman. I'm not saying with everybody, but this is your #1 franchise guy for the next decade.

    They look like little Leaguers out there whipping the ball around. Little things throughout the game, and there we have all losses in one-run games.

    If true, that is really bad on the part of the Sox.

    I wouldn't have signed him to that huge contract and then brought in bregman. I'd live with his fielding inconsistency and keep him happy there. Since that ship has sailed, it really is on him to do what's asked. Maybe he can pull off just being a DH like big papi did, but my guess is he's going to get sick of it and ask to be traded at some point. he seems like a guy that wants to be active and playing in the field.

    Apologies if this topic is somewhere else (or beat to death) but where do you think they should put him? Putting aside "poor roster construction," it seems a real challenge. unless they trade someone. Maybe it's Ceddane to shortstop? problems with that too, but can't see another way. Or have Anthony try 1B and keep campbell at second? yikes
