McCann plays with an edge and is enjoyable to watch. His moment to shine may be approaching. We will see what kind of offers he receives.

9-8. They have mostly succeeded against the weak-kneed teams. Have to go 2-1 hosting the Cub to wrap it up. Nobody has mentioned Southpaw on the IL for some reason.

There are too many variables to just say he is gone. He may step up in the playoffs and we have to keep him. Saying that resources are limited is kind of robotic. If no one signs for a couple of months the whole landscape could change. If teams are losing money the market will be impacted. Will the players panic and sign anywhere? I would highly expect the Sox will make an offer or wait to hear back from his agent. If they find a decent SP for value it could affect McCann.

Eloy plays better on his glove side which is why he looks better on the RF foul line. LF not so much.

The Sox could decide to make doo with Engel and Mazara next year. The owner could decide and direct to keep McCann or make a QO. That would leave some resources for an SP. It's not really about hot takes over McCann. He obviously has value. Meanwhile they can keep McCann in a significant playoff role. The guy is a player.

Pay the man Shirley.

If I am Ricky Riccardo McCann is in my lineup this year most games. After that the boss might give orders to sign him. Balls out for the playoffs.

When McCann plays stuff happens.

Only one game but a pennant race slopfest against a slop team is a bummer. They have not fared well against better teams. Let McCann catch and dole out the DH assignments to whoever.

Yes I believe it is a false dilemma but they will have to decide at some point what they can offer McCann. I don't see much bidding this fall, maybe until Feb or so. We heard the Mets lost $200M-plus so things will be slow until The Miracle arrives.

Teams need two good catchers. The Sox will decide what resources to allocate where. Mazara is not helping. Maybe McCann is another Nick Foles. He could start more in the playoffs. Makes you wonder about scouting. Grandal is still worthy.

Wow Grandal is amazing are they paying him?

Nick on the bases wow superstar. Harry Chappas.

Whataslug

Grandal's glove work.

You spoiled the moment. It would still be poetic. I think you negated yourself.

Those Pirates are glove flubbers.

Jose will pass Joe D at 56 in Game 7 WS.

Yellow soap for all of you.

Bad judgment by far.

I suppose he has been sick but they can't really gift him a starting role at this point. He is lucky to be a part time starter. If he plays he has to get on and contribute some run production.

Nice to see the NLC get slapped around but we have a tougher division to compete in.

Clearly Sox are better than KC and Detroit matches up better against the Twins. What to do.

If you are counting on Rodon you deserve to be disappointed.

Royals are gracious hosts with another lefty Bubic.
