Preach

He’s also more injury prone whereas Cease has been one of the most durable starters since he came up.

Another potential trade candidate gone. Idk why they want all in on defense and then dealt their best trade chip. I feel like it was more they didn’t want to pay him at all and took best offer closest to season.

Fair, just not the biggest fan of soft-tossing righties and banking on position players a little farther away to develop here.

“Great player.” His stats after 6 years don’t match that description.

I was in the “take that risk” camp.

Please sell the fucking team

Almost like they should have held onto Cease and waited for injuries to happen…

“Yes” - the people on Soxtalk who argue this team is good for some reason

He gets to stay in a groove I guess haha

Yeah we can get on with our lives

Zzzzzzzz

Been nice watching a nice defensive IF in Lopez.

Yep. Hopefully tradeable mid-season.

Lol f*** fixed. f*** autocorrect.

That Benintendi deal is vomit inducing.

So he's already taking the left-handed at bats away from Fletcher.

Uh huh. Just like he did last year ? I'm sure you told us that then.

Unless he has a strong enough year, no way you pick up that option.

I will say this: it would have been awesome if they somehow could have dealt Vaughn (2 less years of control) in that deal instead of Burger and shifted him to 1B this season. Like I said the other day, the DH at bats are there as Eloy always gets hurt and is leaning more towards his option not getting picked up for next year anyway. Edit: maybe not that exact deal but Vaughn to another team with a 1B need for a similar pitching prospect.

You knew it was doomed when they wouldn't add any star power to obvious holes and with a cheap, young core. Just went all in on the guys here. Their payroll was so low in 2019 and with limited markets for the two big fish, they should have whipped their balls out on the table and signed both.

It’s like a bad car crash

Gonna have to swap him for Colas eventually.

Yeah, if he keeps that on him, it’s a no-brainer. From one angle he looks out. From the other he’s safe.

Yeah, make him make a good throw. But he has a good arm.
