bmags Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Dyson is basically our Geoff Blum move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Does anyone remember 2005 - where the Sox only deadline move was Geoff Blum (one of the most unlikely of world series heroes). Could Dyson be Blum and have a key moment as a pinch runner and be just enough? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox want to build a contender that will have mutiple playoff shots, not push too many chips in on a fluky 2020 mini season. Keep the long term vision intact.

almagest Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm still thinking the asks are too high. We don't want to trade, say Vaughn and that's who everyone is asking for and not budging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude people have to work and want to know whats going on with the deadline. You're in here rambling about racism and having pissing contests. This is about trades. The trade deadline. Playoff baseball etc. Go derail a thread that's less important to others right now. 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I think it’s super smart of Texas to wait till the last minute. Maybe there was a structured deal in place but they are waiting till all suitors up there bids because lynn is the last of anything good out there. Hopefully Sox have something in place even if it’s a bullpen arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
