Why do you blame Sox fans for this? Sox fans think this way because it is our reality. You called it “constraints of the organization” but it’s a repeated strategy throughout the years due to one man. How many good pitchers do the Sox acquire and/or develop and ultimately trade away rather than re-sign once they hit free agency? The owner simply won’t pay for these guys on the free agent market, so until there is a new owner, it really doesn’t matter if you want to hang onto your nice toys or not. So unless Crochet wants to sign a very cheap hometown discounted extension, he will be the next good pitcher that you can start the countdown to being traded away, just like we did with Cease last year. “Honestly imagine if we had kept Cease…” No, I won’t imagine because it was never going to happen with this ownership. Everyone and their grandma knew Cease was gone.

Kopech should be dealt at the deadline if he has a good first half.

Nevermind, Pirates just got him. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/04/pirates-acquire-joey-bart.html

Good. I hope he retires tonight and joins the coaching staff. Claim/swing a trade for Joey Bart.

Yeah, you don’t want to walk this guy.

Hanger.

Yikes…

Yeah, I’d back the f*** away from that too.

Those overthrows by Kopech are rough.

101 from Kopech.

Ozuna hitting dongs.

Wow, haha.

Two runs via the duck snort. Stone is still a believer in Vaughn.

How does Grifol not argue that until he’s tossed? What a p****.

LOL, brutal.

Debauchery.

They had to jinx the Sox by showing the betting line.

Do some pushups, Nicky.

True story.

That really was weak. Benintendi and his two inch vertical.

Tie game.

Tailor made DP.

Hawk duck snort.

Bummer warming.

An old friend got a job… Mariners signed LHP Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract.
