Moncada actually dealing with a back issue.

He'll milk it and be out a month. 

Sox may be able to trade him if they pay a large part of his salary next year but that's still going to be difficult to do. 

I didn't care for the WBC when it was first announced and I care even less for it now.

Grifol has already publicly stated he thinks Moncada's back issues were caused by the halfway round the world flights from Arizona to Taiwan, from Taiwan to Miami and then from Miami back to Arizona.

But hey it's more important to play for a country in a meaningless made for TV tournament than playing for the team that's paying you millions of dollars. 

And once again the Sox play shorthanded for a week, "hoping" his back got better.

Nothing changes.

Solak has been assigned to Charlotte.

Didn't know much about him but Jim Margalus of Sox Machine did a deep dive into today's moves.

Don't expect miracles from Solak is basically what he writes. Guy is defensively challenged and outside of a small stretch with Texas can't hit:

Enough of this crap, Hahn has to go.

I agree on the WBC, bad idea when the guys should be in ST getting in  baseball shape and working on fundamentals.

Because normal ST had been leading to such great health outcomes for our players.

They need to role with Burger at third and hope something clicks defensively.

Burger is an issue defensively no question. But unlike Moncada I get the sense Burger at least wants to play and to try to provide for his family. To me that's a big deal even though Moncada has far more talent. But what good is it when the guy is supposedly always hurt?

Now Moncada doesn’t want to provide for his family. Lol.
