The Sox not getting Machado will probably end up being a blessing in disguise. But still, there was no reason for the Sox not to sign him at the time and they better spend the money they were planning on giving him on a stud pitcher this offseason. They can't sit on the sidelines anymore. It's time to put a winning team on the field.

He chose the home park of the team who offered him the most money. Can't blame him for that. But I do agree that his stats would probably look a lot better if he signed with the Sox and played half his games in a hitter's park.

I came here to post exactly this. It just doesn’t make any sense to me. Mercedes might not amount to anything either, but at least he has upside. Skole is a 30 year old journeyman and Palka just sucks.

I don’t. It’s just sad that Sox fans have been conditioned to expect the worst case scenario of everything.

People on Twitter are already freaking out and thinking the injury is a lot more serious than the Sox are making it out to be. Wonderful.

Moncada hitting .305 with a .898 OPS right now. Amazing

This game has been on for an hour and it’s the bottom of the 2nd lol

He’s a lot better than Benetti IMO

Since we're talking hypotheticals here, if the Sox signed Martinez, Corey Dickerson, Cole Hamels, and a decent reliever this offseason, would you guys be happy with that?

They only signed Jay because they thought having him would give the Sox a better chance of landing Machado. They didn't sign him on his own merits.

This has to be one of the worst games for Leury in recent memory

Collins should hit 7th, change my mind.

Trade for Schwarber

I'm fine with the Sox losing the rest of the way if the games are like this. The young guys have been fantastic tonight for the most part

Cease looks fantastic and Moncada is locked in at the plate
