Seeing as they were reported as trying to do so at the deadline,  I don't think that's for sure.

Who reported it? Seems like total bullshit. Benintendi is close enough to a LH David Eckstein with decent power that Jerry probably nuts every time he sees him. Jerry would gladly pay for that.

Benintendi has been a terrible defender with us and has looked lazy in the field at times, so really not a David Eckstein clone.  Regardless, a Boston report is the source of this and Harold has also implied that we may try to pair Andrew with Crochet to dump the contract.

An unlinked "Boston report" and a poster on this site? Great work guys. Great work. Definitely seems like something you want to build a narrative around.

I figured when I referenced Jerry orgasming and ejaculating you might have figured I was being ridiculous.

It should be total bullshit.  I want it to be total bullshit. But it has legs outside of Soxtalk.

Better than I don't like it so it isn't true, but hey, you live in your world.

Do you want me to find the link?  It was from a legitimate baseball writer and not some random blogger.  And as much I like to give Harold s%*#, he’s proven to have some actual inside info in the past.  That being said, I agree that I find it unlikely that even Jerry would be that desperate to dump Benintendi’s contract.

I can't speak for Harold, but have you ever considered that he's mocking you guys for treating him so poorly?

Is it? It seems about as valid as "Boston report." Especially when said "Boston report" is about Benintendi of all people. Surely a Boston content creator wouldnt have any incentive to post some unsubstantiated bs about Benintendi. It might have gotten him 8 more clicks.

I heard the same from a friend of mine with a Phillies connection.

Hahahaha. The Internet never fails.

 

Anyway, I'll believe when I see it. Hell I'd even believe it has some legs if it was posted by a single reputable source other than "I got a guy."

As opposed to your unsubstantiated opinion.  Great.

This is the exact reason people don't bother sharing things. You don't have to believe it, but immediately shooting down someone because iTs tHe IntErnEt is ignorant.

Lol…treating him so poorly?  Are you fucking serious dude?

Except for the guy who kept trolling him all around SoxTalk about a Jeep dealership…

I do think he’s too excited about Lux being one of the main pieces coming back for Crochet or Robert, though.

What good will he do in two years when JR won’t extend him?  In that sense, keeping Vaughn is almost as meaningless but theoretically Lux would go back to SS (where he doesn’t belong) with the Sox.

So we non tendered Sheets? I'd think somebody will sign him for about 4-5 million. If I were him I'd want a one-year deal and see if a change of scenery (coaches) helps him reach his alleged potential. I'd take a flyer on him. He may or may not be done yet but considering his status as a second-round pick he may deserve one more shot with his second team. ... Not to sound like Mr. Royals but I betcha KC will be interested if they deem he has some talent. They still need some outfielders who can hit.

I'm not the one running with an unsubstantiated narrative. 

Anyway, if the Sox actually accept less value to work Beni into a trade, I'll leave the board. At that point, there's no reason to support the team anymore anyway. Life's to short to waste time following anything that brings no value or happiness to my life.

Actually you literally are.

Madrigal is a non-tender. Maybe Detroit will pick him up to reunite him with Benetti 

Another great first round pick by the White Sox. Those first round picks of Madrigal and Vaughan who were supposed to be can't miss picks are sure looking bad 5/6 years later.
