Yermin should have gotten a chance last year but they wasted those at bats on AJ Reed. I don’t see him getting a chance on this roster. The Sox would be doing him a favor by trading or releasing him but that wouldn’t make much sense for them to do.
At least Bruuuce got to take credit for both of your sources this morning on The Score. It seemed like he had little to no clue about it when Mulligan brought it up but he played along well.
Not a movie but The Outsider on HBO is probably the best Stephen King adaptation so far. Its pacing is pretty poor as the first two episodes were a good chunk of the book and a ton of the action and then it moves extremely slowly from episodes 3 through 8. But it’s still a well done adaptation. It probably would have been fine as 6 to 8 one hour episodes as opposed to 10.
You said it is against the rules in your first sentence and explained exactly why it isn’t against the rules in your second sentence. Either something is “against the rules” or it isn’t.

I’d worry about Eloy’s shape and nagging injuries before I’d worry about Moncada and Robert.
I complained about wasting money last year instead (i.e. Herrera, Alonso, Jay), which was much worse than this deal. $31 million thrown in a fire. Yes, Hahn does stupid things but I don’t think this deal will be one of them.
If someone wants to complain about giving a reliever too much money, Kelvin Herrera and his 2-year, $18 million dollar contract is a much better target.
I was showing how $13 million, or even $16 million isn’t all that much money... but it sure can be spent a lot more wisely. Giving it to two old garbage vets is a bad idea but spending it on many years of control for a good young reliever who could become a top closer is a good idea.
The Sox literally burned $13 million dollars in a fireplace when they acquired Alonso and Jay last year. I am surprised anyone would be upset about this signing for a young reliever who could have closer potential. If he repeats last season and gets a few saves, his trade value would be through the roof.
