Excellent baserunning by Leury.

Yep, I don’t think they want to give him up either. But he’s the only frontline pitching prospect they have to give up.

Well, we both know the Rays would never be the team to trade for Merrifield. But after the Cubs gave up an Allstar SS/2B for three months of a closer, anything is possible. If a team wants Merrifield badly enough, who knows what happens.

Very good point. Mendick should be auditioning for next season right now to replace Yolmer’s role.

He is making himself the easiest non-tender ever.

When healthy, Anderson and Abreu aren’t exactly wizards.

You’ll know soon when we get there. ?

Don’t be so sure. There isn’t likely going to be many good bats available on the trade market and Merrifield is definitely the top leadoff hitter who could be available.

Merrifield running the bases like he plays for the Sox.

Stone: “Duffy isn’t a strikeout pitcher.” Benetti: “And Duffy strikes out the side.”

I wouldn’t be surprised. This is pretty much unwatchable other than for the diehards.

How about an old starter who was around the last time the Sox won a World Series who could barely crack 90 MPH? i really wonder what our scouts do.

Don’t forget whatever return they get for Merrifield. It could be like our return for Sale/Quintana.

How many players did Hahn acquire that you wouldn’t be surprised are in their last year as a major leaguer? Santana Alonso Nova

Agreed. Just look at the second half of the lineup. It doesn’t get much worse than that.

Super Nova is exploding.

Yep.

Nova... still bad.

Jon Jay runs in quicksand.

Lol, who are the Cubs giving up for him? Caratini and who?

Merrifield is greedy.

Thank god. I still say DH him more.

Yeah, I really don’t see Bummer going anywhere.

I am surprised no one took a chance. His strikeout rate ain’t bad but his WHIP is brutal.

Hahn is just posturing. Colome will be dealt.
