I am personally rooting for Welington at 3B.

His tweets sure get shared here alot.

Not a big deal (obviously), but if Jay is traded....who plays OF today? If Moncada can't go today, they trade Jay, and don't have an OF like Cordell or TIlson hanging in Chicago, the Sox are going to have a super goofy lineup today.

The Reds didn't make this massive three-way deal to deal Bauer away 18 hours later.

He won't. They'll find a RF. Leury will be in CF until Robert arrives, perhaps play a bit of 2B thereafter until Madrigal arrives, and then be a valuable super sub / IL fill in.

No, I would not trade what would effectively be Trammel, Puig and Moss for Clint Frazier. That is awful.

I highly doubt the Reds flip Bauer today, or in the offseason. They want to win. Not necessarily this season, but Bauer obviously is a big boost to their rotation next season. This was a super interesting trade.

Trading people for the the sake of trading makes no sense. None of our expiring contracts are worth anything and trading Colome and Leury isn’t wise unless the return is worth it.

Lol at Allard being equivalent to Medeiros. I am OK with the Sox holding onto Colome. That just means the offers weren’t there. Let’s see how the day shakes out before casting judgement.

Osich is so bad and has no future with this club. Give me Frare or Schryver or Medeiros.

He just meant he was swinging the bat well today. He’s 2/2 with 2 walks.

Unfuckingreal

Someday we’ll have a real manager. I can’t wait.

Not that big of a deal, really. Just need to know it’s usually nothing.

Read some more about it.

Sounds like he’s actually going to be a FA. What a return.

Allard seems like a pretty solid return for Chris Martin. Can I interest you in a Evan Marshall for Luis Gohara?

Narvaez sucks. He’s not a catcher.

Moncada clearly is the type that doesn’t like to play through pain. He’s made that quite evident. I doubt it is serious.

Well, we won’t be able to say it if it doesn’t work out for him out of ST next season, so it’s pretty much now or never for Carson in a Sox uni.

Because they have minor league options remaining and are useful depth.

I am sure we will, but then two weeks will pass by, and all will be well.

Great post! Only two guys this is missing by my count is Zach Thompson and Kyle Kubat, both of whom will be rule 5 eligible this offseason, and both of whom I believe will be September call ups at the latest.
