IL TA and call one of them up. Edit: for every day at bats.

Yeah, even if you don't bench TA (or IL him), he should still be playing over Elvis. Guy is toast.

You're most likely right. Give it another month and we're probably 5+ games back anyway. At least trade off the rentals and any bad money you can.

Don't care as much since it's a weekend series but yeah that would help. Even like an 8:05 game. With the pitch clock, that's done at like 10:30.

I feel like no matter what, they should at least trade Giolito regardless. The division is still so bad that you may be able to sneak in. Maybe catch lightning in a bottle from someone in minors. Might sound crazy but we know they won't really be buyers with nothing of value to trade.

Lol!

Time to bring back Colas.

Until he gives up 2-3 bombs next inning.

It’s because I said the flurry of roster moves should include DFA’ing him.

It’s kind of shocking they don’t have anyone worth while on a MiLB deal at least.

Anything that gets this version of him off the field.

I feel like you gotta IL Tim and give him a chance to get healthy (if that has been a factor in him underperforming). Roster moves: -TA to 10-day IL -DFA Clint Frazier (clear a 40-man spot for next move) -Select the contract of Erik Gonzalez for backup IF (if Sosa is still out) or Nate Moundou (a left-handed hitter) for lineup balance -Recall Colas

Agreed but play him over Andrus.

Might as well call up Colas to work on what he needs to at the MLB level. Already got the extra year of control.

bump

He’s not going to be fired. Any way the organization goes is nightmare fuel.

That is the more likely route. Trade off the rentals, trade off any dead money, and then sign stop gaps for next year. Basically what they would do if they blow it up and tease everyone anyway since they need some MLB filler. Hopefully, you’d have a couple more guys to deal next deadline.

It’s true. All of it.

We should also be targeting more left-handed hitting.

Huh? Who could the Sox have traded that would have been comparable? System is practically empty on upper minors pitching.

Unfortunately Hahn trying to retool or build a contender is also problematic.

I did forget TA was kinda dtd for a couple days, otherwise they wouldn’t have needed an extra bench IF.

Yeah, I'd easily pick it up and listen to offers on him. If you don't like any offers, maybe you get a TA that is highly motivated for his next pay day.

What's the league average slashline for 1B?

Call up Colas and send Vaughn down and shift Sheets from RF to 1B. I'd be down with this.
