Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2015 -> 11:55 AM) What scares me about that tweet is Nightengale has a very good Sox source, so our FO might actually think that this is an issue when they have Leury Garcia rotting on the bench. Well I hope they aren't really considering Leury because Leury doesn't matter. We aren't not winning the WC because of Leury. It is because of guys we have in our starting lineup. So reality is we are talking about 8 guys + Soto (since he gets enough playing time), maybe you are kind and include Shuck (since he should be playing more anyway). Clearly you can find better ballplayers then Beckham and Leury but they aren't why we are where we are today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to figure out. You send Leury down, keep Bonifacio on the DL for a month until the rosters expand September 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard of a team not upgrading because they "have no room" on their roster? It is not even a consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orrrr is it just the calm before the storm...? A lot of time left. Usually a bit of a rush right before the deadline with some deals not even being announced until after the deadline. Remember the deal just has to be submitted by the deadline, not announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. You would think within those last few minutes they would accept just about anything because there's no reason to hang onto him. Something is better than nothing.
