40 man yes, but not active. But yah, forgot about him for a second. Guessing they'd rather him play everyday, and Ellis is a perfect pinch runner. Idk, doesn't make a ton of sense but that must be the logic.

I think they need an OF. Reading tea leaves I think Fletcher and AV hit the IL. Which means Gavin is playing 1B, even tho he isn’t an OF, that leaves Pham, Robert and Colas covering the OF. Which is actually a good thing, but do need a 4th OF. Baldwin can play OF, but he’s mainly played IF this season.

No other OF on the 40 man, so this feels like a Fletcher IL stint and Robert not being ready. Or maybe Robert takes Vaughn's spot and he is headed to IL as well.

Why? They demoting Colas again? Or perhaps Fletcher is actually hurt.

Much more likely that they'll try to claim tampering by Getz than admit they were wrong.

Glad to see Oscar get a chance. He should get a lot of PT next few months imo.

Both Lee and Ramos are in fact riding line today. What happened with Ramos tho? Admit I did not watch closely this weekend. He make some Pedro comment too?

He’ll be fine. No reason for him to debut until May 2025, tho.

I am all for firing Pedro. But do something other than Montoyo on an interim basis. Jirschele or Sizemore.

Including Pedro. What a buffoon

Did Getz have a media session this afternoon?

Nah. They should just play him at the big league level tbh. It would be nice for Oscar to earn it first in AAA, but let’s face it, he’s not returning much. I still feel his opportunity will come this season, but it’s obvious he’s made very few fans in the org. Sox trade a 25 year old Colas for a minimal return with the ability to option him for 1.75 more seasons and he probably turns into a 2 WAR OF. Just let him play RF, especially with Eloy hurt again.

Colas did get pinch hit for tonight, fwiw.

Haha considered making that joke in there because it’s so true.

We’re going to find out tomorrow just how much the Sox hate Colas. He’s really the only 40 man option besides DeLoach.

Only 4 more months we need to worry about Eloy. Biggest bust of the rebuild imo. Sad, really.

There is a high likelihood that Julks is JAG, but for all the outrage this move received here, he at least looks like a mildly interesting short side platoon option with a boatload of cheap control. Obvious SSS etc, but you can’t deny he has put a jolt into the lineup in a few facets. And with Eloy now hurt again, hopefully he gets a few more looks.

Id really loathe to see them move on from Oscar without another extended look.

Probably Nick Kurtz or Jac Caglianone who they'll get the 2024 draft. Sucks that it seems decently likely we'll end up with a 1B in the draft.

I thought it was teams had 7 days (previously was 10 under previous CBA) to either trade a DFAd player before placing on waivers, and if no deal is found you then have to place player on waivers and if player is claimed your options are 1) work a trade; 2) allow the claiming team to have player or; 3) pull back and put back on your 40 man.

Either that, or the Sox claimed him and this is what they agreed upon in exchange.

Julks is actually somewhat interesting. Has big time power, has speed and is a decent OF. Still has two options left. Don't love giving up a lottery ticket for him, but happy to give him some reps down the line.

Good riddance on Ortega. Guy never should have been here and was terrible. Was appalling watching Pedro attempt to use him as a defensive CF when he was brutal out there.

Also, stays hot Chitownsports! Hope you’re doing threads for weeks.
