wonder if Boras would accept a 4 year deal setup like 10m > 16m > 20m (PO) > 28m (CO) obviously heavily backloaded for if he continues to be dominant, but allows the player to bank on themselves after the 3rd year idk

vaguely remember this dude

https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/stephen-a-smith-salary-espn-reaction-news/amp Didnt know he was the highest paid person at ESPN, seems legit

Lynn makes it look easy

you gotta play him in LF at least a few times a week to keep the rust off. if the Sox make it to the WS, Eloy isn't gonna be on the bench in NL parks

Moncada has been a massive disappointment. I'm sure I'll take some flak for saying that but I'm sure I'm not the only Sox fan on these boards who agrees, this was the main piece for Sale remember.

he didn't pitch poorly, but he put the Sox offense behind early -again- and it's a trend for him

Cease has given up 1 or more runs in the first 3 innings in his last 6 starts, he seems to always put the Sox behind early

Looks like Eloy went yard in the first game

his ability to cheat and stay back on fastballs is otherworldly

I'd rather Ruiz walk in a run than give up a slam

Vaughn really seems to have made an adjustment to RHP

extended? like a fake IL trip? no, nor would his agent agree to something like that in his walk year but if they wanna limit his innings or pitch count for a few starts, I could see that being helpful down the stretch

I had no idea Moncada will be making 13m/17m/24m/25m in '22/'23/'24/'25 for some reason I thought the Sox had him signed to some kind of Quintana-esque deal. I missed that memo Jesus Christ, that contract is gonna be verrrrrrry interesting in a couple years. so yeah, I don't see Cleveland being even remotely interested in Moncada+ prospects. RIP for what it's worth I'd rather have Jose Ramirez for the remainder of his deal than Moncada and his

What would it take to get them to trade Jose Ramirez? You think the Sox have the chips?

Who says no? Moncada + prospects for Jose Ramirez + Salary relief

worried that he's gonna have like no power at all @ptatc given how long Eloy has been out, is it possible his muscles have had enough time to get back to 100% or will he still have atrophy even after his rehab assignment

why WS and not Charlotte?

yeah I would much rather trade for KB than Gallo, handedness be damned

I listen to the tigers broadcasters every now and then and Kirk Gibson absolutely adores TLR, defends him quite often one comment he made stuck out, he said "Tony knows how to keep the clubhouse loose, when guys are struggling he knows how to take the heat off the dogs to keep em running" or something to that effect edit: it also seemed like he preferred a guy like Tony vs Hinch, but that isn't surprising, a lot of people in baseball despise Hinch

yeah but that's the point, JR doesn't generally pay guys to walk

Phillies would pay some of his contract for premier prospects I would think

I think based on Tony's comments in that article that it's more likely TLR convinced Jerry to eat the money. don't see that happening if Renteria or Hinch is the manager

imminent? I didn't read it that way

wow, can't believe JR signed off on the DFA. perk of TLR being the manager?
