Kyyle23 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Well, the Sox may not have gotten better via trade at the deadline, but neither did the Twins and you could argue that Cleveland got worse, but at best they are about the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I think the fact that Lynn is still in Texas is evidence that Daniels was flat out asking too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I’m surprised they did absolutely nothing, but can’t exactly blame them for not wanting to acquire a backend depth guy after what happened last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought his first outing the velocity was a little higher than the second outing. His debut against Mize I thought he was 93 - 95. Definitely down a little on the second.

You'd figure one of the White Sox, Yankees, Braves, Dodgers, Padres (maybe? I forget) would've been able to meet an acceptable price.

I don't know if Sox Machine is a blog, or podcast, or something else, but those dudes just seem really negative and awful on twitter whenever I see their names. Makes me have zero interest in consuming whatever product they put out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's fluffy, but you also feel good. Sox Machine is what you listen to if you want to hate the team you love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soulfly Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Sometimes the best moves are the ones you don't make. I'm thrilled we didn't trade any young guys. Yes, RF would have been a good place to upgrade, but if the cost wasn't right, then it isn't worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Marte looks like the highest dollar player who moved, and he has only an option next year, so teams really weren't adding payroll for next year at all.

The fact the Rangers held onto Lynn should tell you all you need to know about how high their asking price was. It made way too much sense for them to deal him at peak value and the declined to. Sox made the right call to not overpay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Just sucks now going forward Cease, Lopez, Dunning, and or Rodon can not be relied on going deep into games yet and will lead to more use of the bullpen by Ricky. Would have been nice to get an additional starter to help lessen the burden on the BP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raBBit Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: yes, every post in this thread is about the trade deadline. ive' made tons of posts about trades. meanwhile you've made one post in this thread and it had nothing to do with the topic at hand. congratulations. keep posting some fake rumors and keep that insider cred. 😰 See the board's response to my post and the response to yours. When at its best, the board speaks for itself and the board polices itself. When at its worst, your rambling about god knows what and people are getting carpel tunnel scrolling past your posts feening for trade rumors that don't come to fruition. Wish we grabbed a lefty as I don't like what I hear about Bummer's injury, but not exactly ready to move anything consequential in the first competitive year with a month to go and only 2 playoff games guaranteed.
