Yeah things are quite awful in terms of roster personnel with not much in the pipeline

And yet Getz had done the most impressive job of running a minor league system of anyone in Jerry's entire lifetime dating back to Branch Rickey and Brooklyn...where's the beef?

He was so good at analyzing the youngsters he has now realized none of them were actually qualified to play at the big league level?

If these moves are a precursor to getting an mlb ready 2nd baseman for Cease (Busch, Ortiz) it makes a lot of sense. 2024 seems like it'll be a "kids can play" type season with a few vets filling in the holes in a bridge year, and honestly that's probably the best we can hope for in 2024. Either it will be nice to watch some quality defense, even if there's no offense.

Sox philosophy under KW was hit a lot of homers and be entertaining while usually finishing in the upper half of division.

Now it's just to simply play fundamentally sound low scoring baseball that's the furthest thing from entertaining possible.

Then force us to watch Moncada instead of Burger...one of the few guys who was actually fun to watch hit and was someone you could actively root for because of everything he overcame.

Might as well run Aparicio and Fox out there...

What kind of move tho?

Savage move or throw a few million for another scrub (*cough Merrifield or trash pitcher *cough) move? 

Merrifield will still end up getting something like $7-9 million.

It's insane to pick him up 2-3 years too late just for "character" and "fundamentals" while simultaneously blocking younger players who will actually be around the next time the Sox are decent four or five years from now.

Next move- I’ll be bold…bye Mom!!

Does anyone know how to like photoshop an image from Mike Tyson Punchout on Nintendo?

Remember after a fight when you beat someone the two guys profiles are up there and Mac says something and the other guys picture he beat (like Glass Joe) shows he's beaten up and he says something else. 

Can we do that when Eloy is traded?

Like shop Eloys face into the Glass Joe side and call it Glass Eloy...birthplace Dominican Republic and then have Mac say "Next time don't eat ice cream at a kids birthday party and maybe you won't get a throat contusion" and then on the Eloy side it will say "Bye, Mom!"
