Texsox Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I didn't expect him to get a deal done without giving up too much. There is too much desperation involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Probably not a bad bet given the Sox Suck at home, facing a RH and should be discouraged on how the trade deadline turned out. Then again no one can actually get a handle on how this group will perform. After all they've made a habit lately of losing the 1st game of series then coming back and winning or splitting series. (trend bet ). TLR just can't help himself balancing the lineup. Can't put Grandal 9th in the lineup . With nothing left to lose and the 9th spot being a productive part of the order this year don't use baseball knowledge or your gut , just go with magic. That's the only way to explain why Sox hitters do well batting 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happ, Wendle and Perez. Wasn't sure Perez would go because he loves Tx but Rangers must be dense. Get something for him and just resign him next year. He's still going to be a Free Agent either way unless they already have some kind of handshake agreement with him. But if he finishes the season strong, he may not return to the Rangers when he's facing many millions of $$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 And the Sox activate Robert to sit on the bench, again. I've never seen a team in my life activate as many guys off the IL who don't play that day. So odd. So they play a guy short. Again. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkChopExpress Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 The most beneficial move for the Sox at the trade deadline was the Royals shipping out Merrifield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I think we tend to forget that JR bought the Sox for $19 million, albeit in 1981. He has a lot of equity. Could’nt he monetize some of that equity to improve the team?
