I guess there is a history of this. Who remember Wally Backman the wife beater?

It is a mystery. I guess that happens with some other closers.

We will see more of Leury.

That's starting to fade away.

I don't see it this way. He got fired like all managers do. The Britt Burns only seems like a bad idea in modern baseball. Managers use to let their aces go 10. He just put it in the player's wheelhouse.

Who knows maybe it;s the leading to horse to water theory.

The legends never believed in touching weights.

At the same time how many of us got fired and it turned out to be the best thing that happened. He would have never been a HOF if he spent more time in the Sox organization.

So Vaughn is among the fragile. I get it he shouldn't play in the OF but it's not like the ball is hit there over 27 times. Anyone hear Hawk on the SCORE talking about the "coddling" in baseball? Ozzie said it was a privilege to play everyday. You have one of the oldest players on the team who refuse to let anything keep him from playing. Most people who are not into baseball think it's a sport where people stand around. Maybe younger generations are into that and don't think you need to be in physical shape. There plenty of theories out there going around. One is players are training for the wrong sport. Cueto runs during is off days. As sad as it is with all of this brittleness you can almost appreciate a guy like Leury. Maybe they should make him a conditioning coach.

How many of you are hoping this will fail?

Easier said than done. Not every organization values loyalty over performance.

Trade chip = trade turn to shit

Of course not. Why would any opposing team differ.

Katz will fix em

They got an elite NL closer out of it while the Sox got another can't make a difference NL player.

Have to wonder if the team bought into the rumor Tony would be moved up and someone else in charge. I guess they are disappointed.

Unfortunately that is the only thing they are good at.

Well Q use to bat before the NL went DH. He could pinch hit for Leury. Oh wait that is one of Tony's unwritten rules in piss poor management.

Just a though but our pitchers were better without Grandal behind the plate. Except for Lynn, I'm not watching because it's Crapple TV.

Plus ditch Boston and McEwing.

I wouldn't be surprised if nothing happens.

If La Russa would have given up his job he would be my MVP.

The argument is maybe they weren't good enough despite the giddyness of getting Grandal. You can trace the Sox history back to Jake Peavy. The other factor is how it worked for other teams. They are not the White Sox. It just doesn't work for the Sox. A scout can watch all day and we can look at paper but yet it rarely works. Even in Vegas setting the odds they look at history.

That's a lot of confinement. The best trade Hahn can do is none at all. Let it be a lesson and be active in the FA market for 2023.

I wouldn't assume any NL bat is going to come in and make a difference right away since they haven't faced AL pitching. Sox have back luck with NL guys. How will it be different this time?
