Not sure why Colome is pitching right now.

I've actually been kinda impressed with him. He has a good arm.

Shots fired.

Ron, did Jose Abreu sleep with your girlfriend?

They can bring up both Mercedes and Mendick while still keeping Goins. Have Yermin replace Reed at DH, Mendick replace Yolmer at 2B, and keep Goins at 3B until Moncada comes back. And DFA Castillo and replace him with Collins while we're at it.

I hate to say it, but is it possible that Abreu is actually a couple years older than he says he is? Because if that's the case, his sudden decline makes a lot more sense.

This is exactly what we said at this time last year. And then they proceeded to fail miserably.

Do you actually think the Sox will sign Gerrit Cole or some other premier free agent this offseason?

I said I don't expect them to sign a good free agent. They'll spend...it'll just be on the Kelvin Herrera's and Ivan Nova's of the world until they prove otherwise.

For those of you expecting the Sox to sign a good free agent this offseason, bless your soul. I learned my lesson with Machado. I have no expectations anymore.

Castellanos is massively overrated. If anything, the Cubs needed pitching.

If the Pirates are asking for the moon for Vasquez, Hahn should be on the phone with the Dodgers right now.

So much for the Abreu to TB rumor

The fact that the Sox were able to get two warm bodies for a guy who can never stay on the field makes this a win.

The Sox just need to DFA Reed and call up Mercedes. No reason to not give him a chance at this point.

Colome's value is going up even more after this outing by Diaz

What's the point of the Indians acquiring a rental in Puig?

Colomé has a grand total of 1 blown save this season. Peripherals or not, he is a damn good closer who should net the Sox a quality package if they decide to trade him.

This has been the most boring trade deadline in awhile

Did Greg really say that he worships Abreu? ?

Abreu and Colome for Liberatore would be fun

If the Sox were smart, they would use their financial flexibility to their advantage by taking on Robertson's contract and getting a better prospect because of it as part of a Colome trade...and then hope that Robertson gets healthy and is part of the bullpen next year.

I mean, trading for Gonzales makes sense if the cost isn't ridiculously high, but I can't imagine that he will come cheap. Like you said, it depends on the price I guess.

This. Sign Cole and a guy like Alex Wood, keep the prospects, and call it a day. The Sox have so much financial flexibility moving forward. There is no reason not to use it.
