It was obvious to everyone something was wrong. Oh well, at least they didn’t extend him. Another one of many inexplicable decisions coming out of the Sox dugout. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean honestly, besides Lynn, has Hahn made any good trades for veterans? We can give the FO credit for making good trades for prospects, but our trades for veterans almost never work out and we always overpay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don’t have any clubhouse leaders though. The closest thing we have is Grandal and TA. He can’t carry the team by himself.

The TEAM LEADER, Abreu, is not stepping up. He didn’t last year either. Tony needs to speak with him. Need TA to step up. He has the swag and leadership qualities.

Second basemen are a dime a dozen. Semien is the current lament. My gosh, what a nice career. Sox blew it with him and obviously that guy on the Padres. Avi had years left, too. Avi was underrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know if we'll have a good Rodon in October, Kimbrel sucked again so who knows when he'll ever get back to being good, and Hernandez basically cost us the game by playing horrendous defense. Hahn's deadline has been a massive failure. Nothing we've seen so far suggests that Kimbrel and Hernandez will contribute positively in October. +1000000. Honestly, I’m just ready to move on from Cesar. Dude sucks. He adds nothing. With Engel back, just let Leury play 2B. At least he plays with some fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
