I can tell my wife to meet me in bed in red lingerie when I get home from work. It might end with me getting slapped, but it is certainly worth the chance.

You're failing to understand risk/reward. He's got the arm and the frame. He showed he can throw 50+ pitches in an outing. It's long been in the plans to try him as a starter. It's worth seeing if it works.

That's what I figured. Keep regurgitating.

Sox had 2 pitchers go 150+ last year. I know cats play in trees, but don't go too far out on that limb. Meow.

I would bet you here and now today that Grant Taylor does not put up 150 innings next year.

King is about 15 innings over his previous career high in 2024, which included a dozen post season innings versus this seasons 14. I guess the other half of that is that he DID get hurt in 2025. Nothing else about his 2026 is out of line with the rest of his numbers. If you view the Mets stint as an aberration, there is also nothing out of line about Peralta's numbers when compared to the rest of his years.

It's long been discussed that Taylor was a potential rotation option. Don't be obtuse. Meow.

There's a rumor going around Caleb Wilson broke his hand last night.

I was beating the King drum before the post season. And Peralta was better instantly after being traded from a bad Mets defensive team

Just because I haven't won the lottery, doesn't mean I can't. Nevermind the 300,000,000 to 1 odds. I prefer to think for myself and not just swallow everything I am fed when the obvious downsides are right in front of us.=. We SHOULD have 10s of millions of dollars to spend, which makes way more sense than trying to catch another miracle. The actual scared move is being scared to spend in free agency to fill holes instead of breaking something to fix something else that might not be a fix afterall.

FWIW, I don't have an issue with either King or Peralta. But their values will be inflated from how well they pitched in the postseason. I don't think we should take 20 innings pitched in the playoffs that seriously. It really isn't an indicator of future success.

I wish we would have added 0 SP at the deadline based on the results of the final 2 months and what said player is making 😭😭😭

They wanted Tampa to fix him. 4d chess. Keep up.

YOu are right that this isn't debatable. The Sox added one real salary at the deadline, and they even had to add a more significant prospect to get them to take on Dominguez, for a team 29th in major league payroll. It's all there.

Just because he hasn't done it, does not mean he can't. Unleash the dragon. Or sit around wondering forever what could have been. I prefer to not play scared.

lol…what in the f*** are you talking about? You are so broken from years of being a Sox fan under Jerry that you just scream “cheap ass Jerry” even in the rare moments he isn’t being. Not going waste one more second arguing for something that isn’t even debatable.

Maybe this means they're moving on from Iglesias.

So they didn't want Peralta during the season and now they want him after?

Remember when Chris Sale actually started in college? Do better than being a parrot.

No, moving the goalposts is dragging other teams into this as a cover for the Sox not spending at the deadline.

Keep moving them goalposts brother…

Remember when Kenny Williams announced that Chris Sale was going to be a permanent part of the bullpen? And then Chris Sale himself had to tell KW to stop playing scared and unleash the dragon. Good thing they didn't play scared.

Grant Taylor has literally never been a starter, going back all of the way to his college years of 2022. It's like saying my maximum value in my bank account is to be adopted by Elon Musk. It's technically true, but also the odds of it are complete trash. Stop and think for yourself for a second.

If Taylor's maximum value to the team is as a starter, then you have to try to see if it works or else you'll never know. Never trying it because it opens a potential hole on the 2027 team is playing scared. Stop playing scared, scaredy cat. Meow.
