The universe is made of infinite variables.

My only problem with the Red Sox getting Jacob Fatu is that I think the Bruins may need him more.

If Breslow gives me 2 Samoans, I will have forgive him.

Did WWE really name the tall Tongan "Talla Tonga".....Really, creative? Isnt that a bit too on the nose.

"one sicko even wanted Sean Manaea"

I want Jacob Fatu at third base.

"Jeff Jarrets name will now be spelled double g, double o, double n, double e, Ggoonnee." Vince said when he bought WCW. Not that I feel particularly clean quoting vince.

And to be clear - Im not even sure i want the red sox to win right now. I dont like the way this organization treats people and Im not loyal to laundry. My fandom is on hold until Breslow is gone. Dont need the team to be sold. But I do want Breslow g-o-n-e.

Understood adding all that up and its significant. And the Duran turnaround is significant on its own laurels (sp?) and it pulled a W out of a would be defeat just yesterday. Still, it would be nice to have one elite hitter and Im going to keep pining for one until we get one externally or internally. And of the list of elite hitters, lets say top 20 wrc+ , Devers is one of the least likely to obtain.....So not pining for him, but I am saying that I consider Devers when I justify my disgust for Breslow. Not because I think Breslow can go get him back, but because the issue was smoothed over when Devers was traded....And I do think that he would have helped in the yankees series last year and thus far this year, even though his SF numbers may stink. Trading Devers was part of the problem, but Devers is not part of the solution. If Hous firesales, Im very interested in Yordan.

In a world where we have no elite bats, and none really close, and we are near the bottom in all raking categories and of course stink...There is a chorus of: We should have gotten this average hitter who can play 3b, we need to swap our ss and 2b positionally, we need a better lefty pen arm, we need to fire a coach, we need to play people consistently at the same lineup order.... Yup, and the titanic needed new deck chairs.

Yes for Yordan.

Devers to DH, Cedanne to infield. Done.

Because none of the OF bats were as good. If that OF bat was an elite hitter, I disagree. But becasue all of the OF bats are like B/B+ hitters , I agree. Trading prime Betts hurts regardless if you you have a next man up.

Sure, but 2 way studs are not often available. But yes, my point is go get elite players. Machado would be welcomed.

Plenty of good bats change hands every year, and btw (not directing this at you) the de-prioritization of getting (and keeping) stud hitters didnt start this offseason. Its like every year we subtract a bat and then just cross our fingers that it will magically be replaced. And I think you are seeing a team that shows the flaw of that logic. Logic being : "we never struggle to hit"
