Was hoping to wake up this morning and if was all just a bad dream. I’m so sad. -

Anyone have a link to Hahn’s comments today? -

Did Hahn actually speak with the media? Or just release a statement? If he spoke to media, did anyone find a link? -

Update but not a full presser? Seems like maybe a good sign since they did a full presser for Eloy? Who knows - grasping for good news. -

Both Eloy and Robert will be back well before the playoffs. The Sox aren't trading Lynn or Rodon unless they're like 8+ GB in July. But continue on. -

Who exactly is the division favorite in your mind then? The 10-16 MN Twins who look terrible, or are you suddenly now crowding the Royals division favorites when they've played the easiest schedule in MLB so far? -

The Sox haven't played well at all and they are 15-12. Yes. losing Robert for any extended period of time is a terrible kick to the nuts. But the season isn't over and the division remains very winnable even if neither of Eloy and Robert play another game this season. But go ahead and jump off that ledge and try to get everyone to join you, buddy. -

You're a clown dude. The Sox at 15-12, 1.5 GB of the fucking Royals and our biggest competition in 10-16. Get a fucking grip on reality. -

He literally tweeted a the "everything is fine gif" with the housing burning down. Nothing of substance. -
Addressing the OF shortage (Robert Injury Spinoff)
ChiSox59 replied to Texsox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Sure you can call last year year 1 if you want. Somewhat irrelevant to the discussion. The point is, this thing is still very much in the early stages. -

Yeah, I and most everyone else here is going to disagree. We all want to win, but trading off major long term pieces for half a season stop gaps ain't it. We're all welcome to our opinions tho. Go Sox! -

This thing was never going to work if the Sox weren't going to open up the checkbook a bit and get into that upper 25% of payrolls. I know you have your ownership bone to pick and I don't really care to get into a discussion about that. Guys like Grandal and Keuchel are needed on legit WS contenders. But if the Sox will never graduate to the big kid pool, the whole thing was never going to work anyway. I was as disappointed as anyone in the last offseason and their lack of willingness to spend $. But I am not convinced they won't eventually stretch into that top 25%. We're still in the early stages of this thing. But, despite having a pretty big gap between our opinions on most things Sox related, I do get where you're coming from. Its frustrating. But you can't have it both ways - b**** about not spending money, but when they sign two very well respected vets who filled major team needs, then complaining about the money they spent on them. -

I edited my post. When you said they flushed $150M down the toilet, I figured you were referring to Grandal + Abreu. You were referring to Grandal + Keuchel. None of the names were mentioned, hence the confusion. -

Yes - World Series or bust in 2021! Eloy hurt!? Who cares!? Robert hurt!? No biggie! Let's trade off a legitiamtely elite SP prospect for a guy who is paid market value for 4 months and will leave for nothing! Brilliant! Glad you aren't making decisions or the Sox would be cellar dwellers again by 2023. -

So 2020 MVP Jose Abreu is now pissed away $? Lol. edit: Guessing you're referring to Keuchel not Abreu. I know who the other guy you're referring to is. -

We are in year 1 of the window. The window is an extended one IMO when looking at the roster and control - through at least 2026. I get the urge to want to be good right away, but trading Crochet for a 4 month stop gap would be beyond stupid. -

ChiSox59 replied to Texsox's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Bryant is a FA getting paid market value or slightly under. Giving up Crochet for a few months of any player is idiotic, not to mention when the Sox are well under full strength and likely will be for the rest of the season. I want the Sox to be in a position to win multiple championships - not push their chips in year 1 as a knee jerk reaction to Eloy/Robert getting hurt. Id love to trade for Bryant, but zero percent chance I am giving up Crochet for him, or really any of our top guys. Which means we won’t get him, which is also fine. Go trade for David Peralta or someone similar and give up very little - this team is still plenty good to make the playoffs. Sacrificing the backend of our window to go all in on 2021 would be beyond shortsighted, and Hahn isn’t going to do that. Sorry. -

Lol for 75% of a season on Bryant? Gross. -

If Hahn has balls, he gets another outfielder in here ASAP. We need some reinforcements badly. -
At this point, Hahn is left with no choice but to DFA Leury and Lamb to end the madness.

So shocked to see you with this take.

The bolded below says it all. The amount of cluelessness you see here with regard to Grandal is simply amazing. Grandal deserves to heat for 2021 - injured or not - he's been terrible at the plate and behind it. But the guy was exactly who he has always been last year, and bafoons were mad mouthing him daily.

At least its not the arm or shoulder with Crochet.

Per Sox Twitter. Crochet upper back issue.
