Facing same team for a second time. His fastball is getting crushed. This has been quite the week for positive Sox moments.

And he didn’t object to keeping him around this year.

Iriarte was wild but effective. Meanwhile, Gonzalez is hitless since the break. What a bad, bad pick.

How can anyone defend anything in this organization, outside of Bannister’s job so far?

With that ridiculous outfield, they should have targeted LHP.

Oh there have been plenty of people that tried to make it seem like he had nothing to do with the debacle the last few years. It’s just so ridiculous he got the job after the whole front office failed miserably.

Wait, so it wasn’t a giant conspiracy?

It’s been confirmed by a variety of sources. If it wasn’t true, there definitely would have been something said by now.

It sure as hell seems to have scared off teams, as he went from almost definitely getting traded to very unlikely.

Fletcher is way more accomplished than the crap they’re going to acquire

I thought they should have been more aggressive a few weeks ago trying to unload some of these guys, but the draft apparently made that difficult.

I’m sure teams aren’t exactly fond of his attitude now, and will be agree to pitch 200 innings if possible next year without an extension?

Sure, because can you imagine all the weak hitting, “good” defensive A ball players he’s gonna get for Pham and DeJong and Brebbia?

And Crochet has torpedoed his trade value this offseason now.

What a disaster the Crochet news was

Wouldn’t be surprised if they get Kopech

Others have confirmed it’s true, including Russell Dorsey.

Puk has been great as a reliever this year. ERA inflated due to early starts he made.

What’s the story on him…huge power?

Sounds like Robert is staying

Wasn’t it more than Heyman reporting this?

They need a closer for the postseason though. They had Honeywell close today!

I don’t see how him sitting out rest of year would hurt his value going forward, to be honest. He’s thrown so much this year compared to the rest of his pitching life, I think most teams would give him the benefit of the doubt.

He can say he’s fatigued and not pitch rest of year

Just seeing what transpired today, I wonder if the Dodgers were close to a deal and told him the plan was to have him close the rest of the season
