I would be really nervous giving Rodon a contract like Eovaldi got...there’s just not a long track record of him pitching at the level he currently is. I’d definitely give him a qualifying offer though, so at least the Sox would get a pick if he leaves.

Lol what an overreaction

You guys are also assuming Kelenic would have still developed the way he did if the Sox drafted him, which is far from a guarantee. This organization doesn’t exactly have the greatest track record as far as developing position players goes. But yes they still should’ve taken him over Madrigal.

There are at least 3 automatic outs in the lineup tonight. Not going to score a whole lot of runs that way.

This lineup just isn’t that good, they desperately need to get an outfielder. Leury and Hamilton isn’t going to cut it.

Definitely doesn’t look good today. Maybe it’s because he lost adrenaline before he even went out there to pitch.

He brought Hamilton in too early, other than that he did fine today.

Not related to Robert but it looks like Buxton will be on the shelf for awhile too.

is anyone else scared that the Sox are going to sign him? I feel like it’s either going to be the Sox or Cardinals.

Thinking it will be postponed until tomorrow

Those vague Josh Nelson tweets are so annoying. Either tell everyone what the news is or don’t say anything at all.

Why are people acting like Adam Engel is the savior? He’s definitely better than he once was but he’s still not all that great against RHP.

To be fair, Robert winces during every single game even when nothing happens. Obviously it must have been painful, but it doesn’t seem like he has the highest pain tolerance in the world either.

So he’s delusional. Cool.

Someone please explain to me what this even means.

There’s two approaches against a guy like Bieber. Swing early in the count against fastballs or try to foul off a bunch of pitches and up his pitch count. Hopefully they try something different than last time because that clearly didn’t work.

No, the Sox need to put their best lineup out there tonight against one of the best pitchers in the league. Can’t just concede games, especially against a divisional opponent.

Grandal is worse given how much more they are paying him.

I’d do anything to get rid of Grandal’s contract. Hell, trade him to Baltimore for Chris Davis. At least Davis’ contract ends sooner.

Grandal is arguably the worst free agent signing in the history of this franchise. I can’t believe people would take him over James McCann.

The title of this thread is so misleading, come on man.

This team is really bad. That Eloy injury killed this team.

Yeah, they still should have been more active in the free agent market but I can’t complain too much if they use that money to lock up all the core guys long term.

a Vaughn extension would be nice, a Giolito extension would be amazing.
