I like the Kimbrel for Meadows idea.

So, I have always stood by Hahn and I know he has some financial restraints put upon him, however I am starting to lose faith. Over his tenure as GM when we were the aggressor via trades they have been flat out awful.. Samardjiza, Kimbrel, Cesar, Shields, all come to mind. He has traded away players names Tatis Jr, Semien, Bassitt, Montas, Escobar. Other than Yaz and Hendriks I'd say our FA signings have been very poor. He did a heck of a job with the rebuild, however our Championship window is open and our signings to improve the club have consisted of an aging 2B, a utility player, a currently hurt reliever, and a pitcher who should be in AAA. As of now the plan looks to platoon 2 1st basemen in RF, our SP depth and star power is very shaky and we have star players who constintly get hurt (I know that's out of his control). I understand there is still some time to adjust the roster and for the better, but I am concerned. I understand our current payroll being the highest it's ever been, but that's a lot of Hahn's doing with very poor signings.

Apologies are in order. I’d be shocked if he didn’t play. He’s Jose Abreu

Let’s just see what Hahn and Tony say later today.

Then should we worry about Lucas too??

We’re basing rumors on a hype video? I didn’t see Giolito there. C’mon now. Hahn said it was non Covid related. I tend to believe Hahn until otherwise. This seems like a reach and is making everyone overreact.

I was fortunate to get 2 tickets last week. I was on the fence about going/selling, but decided this is a once in a lifetime opportunity so I am going! So pumped!

Nike will make them. They are the uniform supplier of MLB.

I have 2 tickets and a parking pass available for Sunday 8.1 game vs Cle. Box 152 Row 2 Seats 7 and 8. I am asking for $45 each. Let me know if interested.

Whole series is TBD

That’d make sense… but maybe there’s a reason for the TBA’s on the starting pitching front.

Wild idea… Story and Marquez?

A’s

3 teamer? We get Whit, the M’s get Madrigal?

Whit can play OF as well..

Frazier not in lineup tonight for Pitt.

I mean they had good success with the previous LG..

Unless Rick knows how Bob is Jerry and Kenny’s mouthpiece and fed him wrong info to acquire a different piece? Like Frazier?

Fair enough. But writing was on the wall for this one. Hopefully wheels are in motion and the next month is a big one!

Been following for a while. I know the foodies and NSC get crap, but they usually have smoke… plus Bob may always be wrong about the league, but he’s always right about the Sox.

I'd typically agree with you, but you're getting Blake Snell, Proven star and Cy Young winner for many years..

Which is fine, but I see them as unknowns right now for a known who is cost controlled and under contract for 5 years.

Reason I say this is Vaughn doesn't really have a spot. Do we want him at full time DH for 2021 when he hasn't even seen a major league pitch? Or do we ease him in.. Kopech could be a star, but who knows.. Rather get a current star. Madrigal, could also be a nice player, but again he is replaceable.

Sorry, Eloy DH
