I wasn't someone pounding the table for La Stella, but clearly he was a fit. 3 years on a deal with a 6.3M AAV shouldn't sink the Sox financially.

Happy to get validated. If they tagged the runner who occupied first at second, first, then I think so. Edit: I'm not even sure this is right but I don't believe it was a dp. Feel like that type of play happens at third all the time throughout a season. Edited March 15, 2021 by manbearpuig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Engel would get exposed with regular playing time. Edited March 15, 2021 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk that play happens all the time at third it seems and I've never seen it called a double play. Edit: if Maybin got back to second, then yes it would be his but I think he was tagged before he even got back.

Because the guy who is safe normally doesn’t walk away. the only way it’s not a double play is if Maybin left before the other runner was tagged.

The situation in LA or SD is not the usual. Teams like the A's and Rays exceed expectations every year because their rosters are so ridiculously deep and versatile. It's not just the Dodgers and Padres who have more quality players than spots. Given where the Sox are with their payroll and competitive window, they should have something better than Mendick or Leury as cover if multiple injuries hit at once. That isn't too much to ask.
